Texworld will return to Paris from 31 August to 2 September 2026 at Paris-Le Bourget Centre. For its 59th edition, the show will host a more global selection of 1,000 exhibitors coming from even more parts of the world than in previous editions, reorganized according to a new, more rational layout according to segments, including womenswear, casualwear, and sportswear, helping buyers quickly connect with suppliers and find the right partners in a complex transformation moment.
“In a context of industrial consolidation and increasingly streamlined supply chains, buyers are no longer looking for the widest possible offer. Instead, they are seeking carefully selected, reliable partners able to deliver quality, flexibility, and competitive pricing,” says Julien Schmoll, marketing and communications director, Messe Frankfurt France.
“This edition of Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris reflects that shift. With a more focused, easier-to-navigate, and higher-quality offer, it enables buyers to identify the sourcing solutions best suited to today’s market challenges,” he added.
With more than 500 textile manufacturers and weaving companies from around ten countries, the show will host leading weavers from countries like China, Türkiye, Korea, and India.
Along with such global presence, the show will also host highly specialized European manufacturers like, for instance, La Lainière de Picardie, part of Chargeurs PCC Group, marking an important milestone for the show. Specializing in interlinings for the ready-to-wear industry, the company represents the industrial heritage of northern France while combining outstanding expertise with certified materials. It also offers a distinctive approach to responsible sourcing, illustrating how some European manufacturers are expanding their international reach and promoting premium production on global markets.
Another notable first-time exhibitor is the Estonian company Osaühing Tekser Grupp, a specialist in high-end linen manufacturing. Its participation further reflects the growing demand for premium, traceable natural fibers.
Other geographies represented include Kyrgyzstan, taking part for the second consecutive year, to be represented by around fifteen exhibitors, and Uzbekistan, a strategic player thanks to its major role in global cotton production, continues to expand its presence at the show. Also, Bulgaria, Pakistan, Myanmar, and Bangladesh will participate with many specialized manufacturers.
As nearshoring is becoming an increasingly important aspect within apparel and textile manufacturing, the show’s dedicated section hosted at Hall 3 will present around 30 companies from Türkiye, Serbia, Romania, and Portugal in a 250 sq. meter area.
As part of the reorganization of the show, they will host some new sections, including the Jewellery & Leather area, along with denim finished products now hosted at the Casual & Sport sector, and the new Outdoor zone will bring together around 50 exhibitors, combining manufacturers of technical fabrics for activewear with sportswear garment manufacturers.
A program of conferences, panel discussions, keynotes, and activities will complement the exhibitor offering at the Agora. Key topics will include fashion trends, market developments, the regenerative textile economy, AI and sustainable development goals, emerging materials, and changing professions.
In particular, the “Threading Circularity” Forum, organized by the Fédération de la Mode Circulaire and the TCBL association, will be a major part of the conference program. Taking place on the morning of Wednesday, 2 September, it will bring together experts, industry professionals, and innovation leaders to explore the key drivers of the circular economy: developing repair ecosystems, extending product lifecycles, promoting local resources, and reinventing European value chains.
