The February 2023 edition of Texworld Evolution Paris, scheduled to take place at the Parc des Expositions de Paris-Le-Bourget from 6th to 8th February is expected to cross the pre-pandemic level.
In a statement, the organisers of the show informed that with 750 companies expected from some 20 countries, overall bookings have reached 70 per cent of the pre-pandemic level of February 2019. Among the major sourcing countries present in Paris on this occasion, Chinese exhibitors will affirm their physical presence.
Bringing together fabric manufacturers, Texworld Paris is ready to welcome around 450 exhibitors from 14 countries at the beginning of the year, including nearly 250 Chinese companies. Indian embroiderers and weavers – whose proposals are particularly qualitative – will also have a strong presence with more than 50 companies.
Turkish, Korean and Taiwanese manufacturers will also mark their strong presence. With nearly 110 companies, Turkish manufacturers are demonstrating to buyers the alternatives they represent to Asian sourcing. 88 of them are gathered under the national pavilion supported by the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce (ITO). Also noteworthy is the loyalty of the 50 Korean companies that come to meet the buyers, not to forget the strong participation from Taiwan, which will present nearly 15 companies.
Apparel Sourcing Paris, the platform for sourcing finished apparel and fashion accessories in Europe, is back in touch with the reality of the international market. Almost 200 exhibitors will come from China with proposals of textile articles for fashion brands. They will be present alongside other major sourcing countries – India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Hong Kong (China), Türkiye, Taiwan, Sri Lanka and Mongolia.
