Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris 2026 to Gather Global Textile Industry in August

From August 31 to September 2, 2026, Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris will return to the Paris-Le Bourget Exhibition Center, bringing together global participants from the textile and apparel industries. The event will serve as a sourcing platform for fashion professionals, providing access to nearly 1,200 international companies.

The exhibition will be structured around two primary segments: Texworld, focused on fabrics and raw materials, and Apparel Sourcing, dedicated to finished products and accessories. Both segments will present offerings across mid-range and premium categories, aligned with buyer demand for quality and value-added products. The Avantex sector will complement these segments, focusing on innovation and solutions for performance-oriented and responsible fashion.

The 59th edition will maintain its existing layout to support visitor navigation. Halls 3 and 4 will host the main exhibition areas, organized by expertise and end-use categories, with an emphasis on womenswear, casualwear, and sportswear. Hall 2 will feature Avantex exhibitors, Trend Forums, and conference and service areas, designed to facilitate interaction among participants.

Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris will include participation from established textile-producing countries such as China, Türkiye, India, and Korea. The 2026 edition will also reflect increasing interest from emerging sourcing regions and a focus on upgraded technical capabilities.

A notable addition to Texworld is the participation of La Lainière de Picardie, marking its first presence at the event. The company specializes in wool linings and represents European textile manufacturing. Additionally, an ECO-HUB dedicated to China’s Zhejiang province will feature around thirty exhibitors engaged in 100% sustainable production. This area will be located in Hall 4 and will focus on supply chain developments aligned with sustainability and traceability requirements.

The Apparel Sourcing segment will continue its expansion following its September 2025 edition. New participating countries, including Mongolia, Pakistan, and Taiwan, will contribute to a broader sourcing base. Dedicated pavilions for leather and jewelry will be introduced to improve visibility for these product categories.

A new Outdoor area will be established between Texworld and Apparel Sourcing, featuring around fifty exhibitors. This section will combine technical fabric manufacturers and sportswear producers, addressing requirements in activewear and performance textiles.

The Apparel Sourcing Initiatives area will also be introduced, extending the Texworld concept to highlight production capabilities, service offerings, and flexibility among selected exhibitors.

The Avantex sector will continue to present technology-driven and sustainability-focused solutions. The program will include conferences, workshops, and professional meetings addressing ongoing developments within the textile and fashion industries. The creation of the Texworld ECO-HUB is part of this broader framework.
