Returning to the vibrant city of Dubai, the 20th edition of the International Apparel & Textile Fair (IATF) will be held from 17th to 19th November 2025 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, Halls 6 and 7. Recognized as one of the Gulf’s leading international B2B fashion trade sourcing events, IATF continues to serve as a vital meeting ground for global textile, apparel, and fashion accessory professionals.
Having successfully completed 19 editions, IATF has established itself as a trusted sourcing platform for the MENA region’s fashion industry. The upcoming edition will feature over 450 international exhibitors from 27 countries, showcasing the latest in textiles, fabrics, garments, footwear, handbags, and accessories. Dedicated country pavilions will highlight craftsmanship and innovation from leading markets such as China, India, Turkey, Italy, France, Japan, and Egypt, among others.
Drawing more than 5,000 trade buyers from across the Gulf and beyond, the fair fosters meaningful networking and business development opportunities in a professional and conducive setting. IATF also provides an avenue for participants to engage with industry experts and leading buying houses, making it a comprehensive platform for trend discovery and trade collaboration.
The UAE, ranked as the third largest textile and apparel import market in the Middle East, provides an ideal environment for global sourcing. Hosting the event at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) adds further value, offering world-class facilities, easy metro access, and proximity to hotels, restaurants, and business hubs—ensuring convenience for both exhibitors and visitors.
Organized by Nihalani Events, IATF 2025 will bring together international exhibitors, buyers, and stakeholders for three days of global exchange, creativity, and commerce, highlighting the continued growth and resilience of the fashion and textile industry.
