Market outlook and Global Impact

Sustainability remained a defining theme, with exhibitors showcasing eco-friendly fabrics, resource-efficient production, and circular solutions in line with EU Green Deal requirements.

Türkiye’s textile industry is among the world’s leading players, ranking as the 5th largest producer and exporter with a 3.5% share of global textile exports. Generating approximately USD 78 billion in annual production – USD 45 billion in textiles and USD 33 billion in apparel – the sector covers the entire value chain within the country, from cotton cultivation to final apparel manufacturing. With integrated production capacities, strong logistical advantages at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, and annual exports of USD 12 billion, Türkiye is well positioned to expand further. 

Ahmet Öksüz, President of ITHIB, concluded:

“Texhibition once again demonstrated the innovative strength and global competitiveness of the Turkish textile industry. With its international reach and sustainable focus, it has established itself as a key meeting point for the global market.”
