Texhibition Istanbul proved the strength of Türkiye’s textile sector, the world’s 5th-largest exporter, and emphasized the country’s role as a fast, flexible, and sustainable sourcing hub for the global fashion and apparel industries.

“Texhibition Istanbul has strengthened its place in the global calendar by increasing international interest every year. It showcases the production power, sustainability vision, and innovative approach of the Turkish textile industry on the world stage. As the world’s fifth-largest textile exporter, Türkiye makes a difference in global markets with high-quality woven and knitted fabrics. Texhibition Istanbul has become one of the strongest reflections of this success. This year, once again, it became the meeting point for international buyers.” Fatih Bilici, Vice President of ITHIB and Chairman of the Fair Committee
