Sales for the organisers of ITM 2026, one of the world’s most comprehensive exhibitions in textile technologies, are progressing at full speed, with exhibitor and visitor interest already exceeding expectations. Following the record-breaking success of ITM 2024, the next edition - to be held from 9–13 June 2026 at the Tüyap Fair and Congress Center in Istanbul - is set to further strengthen the city’s role as a global textile technology hub.

The world’s leading textile machinery manufacturers and technology innovators are expanding their presence at ITM 2026, aiming to forge new business connections and consolidate their positions in international markets. With rising demand and robust applications, the event is expected to serve as a prime platform for investment, collaboration, and commercial growth across the textile value chain.

ITM 2026 will bring together industry professionals from across the globe to explore advanced machinery, materials, and digital solutions shaping the future of textile production. Exhibitors and visitors will benefit from the opportunity to engage directly, examine next-generation technologies, and initiate new partnerships, contributing to the continued expansion of the global textile machinery sector.

Building on the success of ITM 2024, which hosted 1,385 companies and representatives from 71 countries and attracted 66,200 visitors from 99 nations, ITM 2026 promises even greater international reach. The 2024 edition generated machine sales and contracts worth billions of euros, demonstrating the exhibition’s vital role in driving the textile industry’s growth and innovation.

Delegations from key textile-producing nations including Pakistan, Bangladesh, Uzbekistan, India, and Egypt are expected to attend ITM 2026, alongside global investors. The event’s B2B meetings will create new opportunities for cooperation and business expansion. Istanbul’s strategic location - accessible from Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Turkic Republics - further enhances the event’s appeal, while Turkey’s visa agreements with several textile-producing nations will make participation easier for many international visitors.

In addition to its business advantages, Istanbul offers excellent transport links, a wide range of accommodation, and rich culinary experiences, ensuring a rewarding visit for all participants. With its blend of commerce, innovation, and culture, ITM 2026 is poised to become one of the most significant gatherings for the global textile industry.
