The enthusiastic sign up by exhibitors to the next Texworld Evolution event clearly underlines the truly international aspect of this edition as well as the Asian textile industry’s keen interest in strengthening its connections with European markets. For buyers, this event gains even more strategic importance as it offers a valuable opportunity for contact and exchange with international suppliers of fabrics, materials, and finished products. This interaction is pivotal for shaping and creating their Spring-Summer 2025 collections.
China, India, Türkiye, Korea, along with Indonesia, Pakistan, and Thailand, will all be represented with major national pavilions, such as the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce (ITO) for Turkish manufacturers and the Korean Federation of Textile Industries (KOFOTI), have confirmed their participation. Additionally, Apparel Sourcing Paris will see a growing number of
Hong Kong manufacturers, with six already confirming their attendance. At Texworld Paris, which expects over 700 exhibitors, there is representation across 13 sectors, with a noticeable increase in knitwear, primarily due to the
rise of casual wear in recent years. The same goes for activewear performance textiles, which are now part of fashion collections alongside sportswear.
A notable feature of this February 2024 session is the consolidation of both fairs on two levels in Hall 7 (7.2 and 7.3) at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. This configuration makes it easier for visitors to locate the specific expertise and product types they seek. The central area will host cross-disciplinary activities and offerings, including the Denim Village and the Elite sector. Trend forums will be distributed across the two levels, showcasing top proposals by sector.
