Texworld Paris 2026 is set to welcome more than 1,000 exhibitors from around the world, highlighting the latest developments in textile sourcing, apparel manufacturing, and fashion innovation. The event will take place at the Paris-Le Bourget Exhibition Centre and is expected to attract buyers, manufacturers, designers, and sourcing professionals from Europe and other international markets.
The exhibition combines three major events under one platform. Texworld Paris will focus on fabrics and raw materials, Apparel Sourcing Paris will showcase finished garments and fashion accessories, and Avantex will present advanced technologies and sustainable solutions for the fashion industry.
Organizers said this year’s edition reflects major changes taking place across the global textile sector. As supply chains continue to evolve, buyers are placing greater value on reliable manufacturing partners, product quality, flexible production, and competitive pricing instead of simply seeking the largest number of suppliers.
The exhibition layout has been redesigned to make navigation easier and improve connections between buyers and exhibitors. Dedicated sections for womenswear, casualwear, and sportswear will allow visitors to quickly identify suppliers that match their sourcing needs.
More than 500 textile manufacturers will participate in Texworld Paris, representing many of the world’s leading textile-producing countries. National pavilions and industry groups from China, Türkiye, South Korea, and India will present fabrics, raw materials, and specialized textile products for international buyers.
Several companies will make their first appearance at the exhibition. Among them is La Lainière de Picardie, a French manufacturer known for producing high-quality interlinings for the apparel industry. The company will showcase certified materials while highlighting responsible manufacturing practices.
Estonian manufacturer Tekser Grupp will also participate for the first time. The company specializes in premium linen products and reflects growing demand for traceable natural fibers and sustainable textile production.
The exhibition’s Initiatives area will feature demonstrations, product presentations, and displays highlighting both modern innovation and traditional craftsmanship. Visitors will see textile developments from South Korea, Türkiye, China, and France, along with fashion collections created by final-year students from Atelier Chardon Savard, demonstrating new approaches to textile finishing and material design.
Apparel Sourcing Paris will feature more than 500 manufacturers of garments and fashion accessories. Major sourcing countries including China, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and several Euro-Mediterranean nations will once again play a central role at the exhibition.
The event also reflects changing sourcing strategies as companies increasingly explore new manufacturing locations. Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Bulgaria will expand their presence this year, giving buyers more options as they diversify supply chains and strengthen regional partnerships.
A new Near Sourcing Hub will highlight manufacturers from Türkiye, Serbia, Romania, and Portugal. Developed with FourSource, the area combines physical product displays with digital collections that allow buyers to connect directly with suppliers, request quotations, and review additional product information through online platforms.
Organizers have also introduced new product categories. A dedicated Jewellery and Leather area will showcase fashion accessories, while an Outdoor zone will bring together manufacturers specializing in technical fabrics, sportswear, and outdoor apparel.
Avantex will focus on the technologies shaping the future of fashion. Around 30 exhibitors will present solutions involving artificial intelligence, sustainable materials, traceability, circular manufacturing, industrial efficiency, and digital innovation. The exhibition aims to encourage collaboration between technology companies, manufacturers, brands, and investors.
Artificial intelligence will receive special attention through the Texpertise Focus AI x SPOTT program. Visitors will explore new AI-powered textile inspection systems, sustainable textile innovations, recycled materials, and digital solutions designed to improve manufacturing efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
Entrepreneurship will also be highlighted during the Avantex Fashion Pitch competition, where startups will present innovative business ideas to an international panel of industry experts. Winners will receive financial support, exhibition opportunities, mentoring, and access to fashion business development programs.
Throughout the event, visitors can attend conferences, workshops, and panel discussions covering fashion trends, sustainable production, artificial intelligence, circular economy practices, regulatory developments, and future sourcing strategies. Industry experts will also discuss emerging materials, changing workforce needs, and evolving business models.
With more than 1,000 exhibitors representing every stage of the textile and apparel supply chain, Texworld Paris 2026 continues to strengthen its position as one of the world’s leading sourcing events, offering buyers new opportunities to discover suppliers, explore innovative technologies, and build long-term international business partnerships.
