Around 1,300 exhibitors are expected for Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris which will take place from September 15-17 2025 at the Paris-Le-Bourget exhibition centre.

These dates have been selected by organiser Messe Frankfurt France to better align with the calendars of buyers and the event will follow the same layout as the highly successful February edition.

Major weavers and manufacturers from China, India, Turkey, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong have already confirmed attendance, highlighting the central role of European markets in a global ecosystem disrupted by ongoing US-China trade tensions.

Central European garment manufacturers are also showing considerable interest in this edition, with companies from Armenia, Kyrgyzstan and Ukraine also attending.

In terms of layout, Avantex will be located in Hall 2, alongside trend forums and conference and service areas. As in February, thematic ‘universes’ will be featured, focused on women’s clothing and activewear collections, to create synergies between raw materials and finished products and to enhance the sourcing experience for visitors.

Leatherworld will be in Hall 4, next to the Denim area, bridging Texworld and Apparel Sourcing to maintain proximity between materials and finished products. The Initiatives by Texworld zone, located at the entrance of Hall 4, will highlight the specific expertise of Turkey and India.

Avantex – the space dedicated to technologies and service solutions for a more efficient, transparent, circular and eco-friendly fashion industry – will focus on the sourcing of sustainable raw material and showcase the European Herewear project

Herewear explores the potential for a European market based on locally made textiles using bio-based, locally sourced materials. The final of the 8th edition of the Avantex Fashion Pitch will also be held.
