“With Texhibition Istanbul we have created a platform that efficiently  networks high-quality Turkish textile production and the international  fashion business. Texhibition meets the industry’s need for secure  nearshore supply chains. Texhibition is a catalyst to boost Türkiye’s  exports,” said Ahmet Öksüz, Chairman of ITHIB (Istanbul Textile  Exporters’ Association).  

With an export volume of approximately 13 billion US dollars in 2022, the  textile industry achieved its best result and exported to a total of 200  countries and regions. An export volume of around US$ 15 billion is  targeted for 2023.  

Because of its high quality products, reliability and short delivery times,  Türkiye ranks fifth in the world and second in the EU as an important  sourcing market for all over the world. 

Vice Chairman of the Istanbul Textile Exporters Association (İTHİB) and  President of the Fair Committee, Fatih BİLİCİ, after the conclusion of  Texhibition 2022: “Our exhibitors have given us unanimously positive  feedback. The fair is a suitable platform for making new business contacts

and opens up access to new markets. The quality and quantity of visitors  was convincing. Numerous cooperation talks took place with visitors from  all over the world. Texhibition has contributed significantly to our  companies being able to increase their exports. The great attention the fair  has received from exhibitors and visitors strengthens our opinion that this  platform meets the needs of our industry.” 

Texhibition made a significant contribution to ensuring our companies  achieve exports with bigger added value while also facilitating entrance of  our companies to new markets and establish new cooperations with the  range of visitors that attend the exhibition from all across the world. The  profound attention of both exhibitors and visitors reinforced our opinion  that this exhibition meets a major need of our industry.’’ 

The trend area at Texhibition will show the spring-summer 2024 trends  with a focus on sustainable aspects.
