Texhibition returns for the 9th edition at the Istanbul Expo Center on March 4 to 6, 2026. Organized by ITKIB Fairs Inc. on behalf of the Istanbul Textile Exporters’ Association (İTHİB), the Texhibition has become a central hub of the global textile industry: it combines production excellence, innovation, and sustainability with an export-driven focus, securing its place among the leading international trade fairs.
“Texhibition has become a bridge carrying Türkiye’s production power, sustainability vision, and innovative mindset to the world. And that bridge is expanding,” said Fatih Bilici, ITHIB vice president and Texhibition fair committee president.
The March 2026 edition will feature more than 500 exhibitors across 40,000 square meters and is expected to welcome over 25,000 visitors from the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, North Africa, and the Middle East. The event attracts a highly diverse audience of decision-makers, ranging from apparel manufacturers, international brands, and retail executives, to online sales platforms, importers, distributors, designers, boutique owners, and global buyers, creating a dynamic environment for building strategic partnerships, identifying emerging trends, and unlocking business opportunities.
At the same time, the exhibition reflects the sector’s increasing focus on sustainability and innovation, from advanced digital printing solutions to recycled fibres and environmentally responsible production processes. Through curated spaces such as the Trends Area, the Innovation Hub, the ReValue Stock Hub, and Blue Black Texhibition, visitors are immersed in emerging design directions, sustainable solutions, and forward-thinking technologies.
Together with its dynamic programme of trend presentations and expert talks, the fair creates an inspiring setting for exchange and vision-building, showcasing not only Türkiye’s strong manufacturing capabilities but also its growing influence as a source of innovation, design intelligence, and future-oriented thinking.
Within Texhibition’s Blue Black world, denim creates an immersive experience where interactive installations, curated displays, and expert-led seminars showcase how Turkish denim producers are redefining the fabric technologically, creatively, and culturally. Here, denim moves beyond fashion to become a powerful form of artistic expression. At Texhibition, the sector’s strongest players showcase the latest sustainable fabrics and technologies, including Atlas Denim, Bossa, Isko, ISKUR, and Kipaş.
Designed as a comprehensive inspiration hub, the Trends Area features dedicated sections for Woven Trends, Knit Trends, and the newly introduced accessory Trends, offering a holistic vision for upcoming seasons.
The Innovation Hub, shaped under the creative leadership of Arzu Kaprol and Filiz Tunca, brings together advanced biotech fibres, adaptive high-performance materials, and AI-driven production solutions that redefine efficiency, customization, and functionality.
The ReValue Stock Hub presents circularity as a practical, forward-looking solution. It transforms surplus fabrics into opportunities, encouraging reuse, reinterpretation, and new value creation. The hub demonstrates how sustainability evolves from an abstract concept into a measurable and actionable business strategy.
