Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris is set to return for its 57th edition from 15 to 17 September 2025 at the Paris-Le Bourget Exhibition Centre, bringing together nearly 1,300 exhibitors from 35+ countries.
This edition will continue the trend of balancing textile material producers (Texworld) with clothing, accessories and finished garments manufacturers (Apparel Sourcing), making the show one of Europe’s most comprehensive platforms for sourcing, from basics to luxury.
Major sourcing hubs such as China, India, Türkiye, South Korea and Taiwan are confirmed exhibitors, and there will also be heightened presence from Central and Eastern European players including Armenia, Kyrgyzstan and Ukraine. These reflect growing demand for near-sourcing in response to global supply chain shifts.
A strong emphasis this year is placed on sustainability and innovation. The Avantex sector highlights eco-friendly materials, traceability, circular production and service solutions. Meanwhile, the Texpertise Econogy initiative continues to play a central role, featuring the Econogy Hub, Talks, Tours, and the online Econogy Finder to help visitors identify sustainable exhibitors.
Trends in regulation, AI’s impact on design, natural fibres, and circularity will be tackled in conference sessions. The show’s “Initiatives by Texworld” zone will also spotlight specialist craftsmanship (e.g. embroidery, denim, leather) and new material experiments.
Organizers Messe Frankfurt France note that the fair responds to “a recomposition of supply chains” amid economic pressures. The increased supply of finished garments, renewed interest from China & India, and the move toward sourcing closer to end markets are all part of this shift.
