Over 1,200 exhibitors from 25 countries will take part in next week’s Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris at the Paris-Le- Bourget Exhibition Centre, showcasing the very best in global sourcing to help fashion brands build their Spring-Summer 2026 collections.

Over the three days (February 10-12), international buyers will have access to the leading market platform for textiles and clothing and in a refurbished space will discover a very wide choice at competitive prices. This unique concentration of manufacturers and makers constitutes the heart of the international market in the mid-range segments which now account for the bulk of finished garment consumption.

At a time when the search for new sources of supply is becoming essential, Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris offers buyers unrivalled diversity. The show brings together not only the major players in global sourcing such as China, Turkey, India, Korea, Pakistan and Taiwan, but also suppliers from alternative zones with rich expertise, such as Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and Africa – a dozen companies from Ethiopia, Rwanda, Egypt and Benin will be in Paris next week. For the first time this year, Texworld 2025 will also be welcoming Industrias Textiles Frione, an Argentinian woollen manufacturer offering a range of top-quality fabrics while promoting manufacturing processes that are particularly environmentally friendly.

As part of its commitment to more responsible fashion, Messe Frankfurt is supporting players who respect the ecological and social standards of the textile industry. At the entrance to Hall 4, the new ‘Initiatives’ zone will feature inspiring and sustainable solutions promoted by some exhibitors. This area will also host the China Textile Information Centre’s trend forum, as well as the Texpertise Econogy Hub, where Messe Frankfurt will be presenting its commitments to sustainability in the textile sector through the Texpertise Econogy concept, which combines ecology and economic development.

As part of this initiative, two Econogy Tours will enable visitors to discover what a selection of certified companies can offer. These guided tours, led by a specialist in sustainable design and structures, will be offered on Monday 10 February (12.30-1.30pm) and Tuesday 11 February (10-11am). Appointments can be scheduled at the Econogy Hub counter.

To complement the product offering, a series of events and conferences will also take place. Held in the Agora in Hall 2, they will explore market trends and prospects in detail. Louis Gérin, the show’s artistic director, will be commenting on ‘Neocene’, the Trendbook for the Spring-Summer 2026 season, and several talks will provide insights into the business models of manufacturers such as Wellfabric, one of the pioneers of sustainable textiles in Vietnam, and the African platform Arise IIP. Further round-table discussionswill discuss forward-looking issues such as fast fashion and the challenges of sustainability in terms of production and sourcing, as well as solutions to support the ecological transition. These conferences, which will take place on Monday 10th and Tuesday 11th, are free to attend.
