From 2 to 4 February 2026, the 58th edition of Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris will take place at the Paris–Le Bourget Exhibition Centre, bringing together more than 1,100 exhibitors from 33 countries. Positioned as a global sourcing platform, the event continues to attract international buyers by offering a diverse, clearly structured and operationally efficient showcase tailored to evolving market needs.
Reflecting rapid changes in the textile and apparel sector, the show confirms its strategic importance for industry professionals seeking reliable and competitive partners. Exhibitors will be spread across Halls 2, 3 and 4, with thematic sourcing routes, dedicated networking areas and digital tools designed to simplify connections and support efficient sourcing decisions.
Visitor circulation has been redesigned to create smoother, more logical journeys aligned with sourcing priorities. Apparel Sourcing’s All About Her sector and Texworld’s Knit offer are now grouped together in Hall 3 alongside national pavilions. Hall 4 will host Activewear and Casual & Sport, while Print and Jacquard are positioned closer to Silky Aspects. Hall 2 remains the central hub for inspiration, housing trend forums, conferences, services and networking spaces.
Texworld Paris itself will welcome 591 exhibitors from 18 countries, highlighting the depth of international expertise in fabrics and raw materials. Major sourcing regions including China, Turkey, India, Korea and Taiwan will be represented. National pavilions and collective delegations will showcase specialist skills, from Turkish Ebru workshops led by the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce to a Korean pavilion supported by KOFOTI. Growth continues in embroidery, knit and activewear fabrics, underlining the sector’s creativity and technical strength.
At the entrance of Hall 4, the Initiatives space will spotlight craftsmanship and innovation, hosting trend forums from the China Textile Innovation Center and the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce. Highlights include a focus on Indian Zardozi embroidery and a dedicated area for Oracle Textile Technology to present its research and development in high-end down jackets.
The Elite sector in Hall 3 will feature a curated selection of high-value textile producers recognised for quality, responsiveness and logistics performance. Exhibitors span Asia, Europe and the Middle East, with new Indian participants joining established names from Turkey, China and beyond.
Apparel Sourcing Paris will present more than 500 exhibitors from 25 countries, reinforcing its position as Europe’s leading event for finished apparel and fashion accessories. Near sourcing remains a key theme, with an expanded Near Sourcing Hub showcasing nearly 50 companies, supported by a hybrid physical and digital sourcing concept developed with the Foursource platform.
Market shifts are evident through the strong return of Bangladeshi manufacturers, new exhibitors from Vietnam, Nepal and France, and significant growth in formalwear. For the first time, leather-goods manufacturers will also be present.
Sustainability will be central at the Econogy Hub, which will highlight responsible and circular initiatives across the textile value chain. A major feature will be the Zero Waste Couture exhibition, presenting innovative design approaches using deadstock and low-waste processes. The hub will also host information points, material-sourcing showcases and a dedicated Econogy Tour.
A focused programme of conferences and round tables will complement the exhibition, addressing trends, market developments, sustainability and innovation, with sessions open to all visitors across the first two days of the show.
