The February 2026 edition aims to reaffirm Paris’s role as the industry’s central sourcing hub amid shifting supply chains and rising sustainability scrutiny.
Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris – one of the world’s largest sourcing fairs – will return from 2–4 February 2026, bringing together roughly 1,300 suppliers from 30 countries at Paris-Le Bourget. The show remains a bellwether for global textile demand, particularly as brands navigate geopolitical fragmentation, tightening regulation and shifting consumer preferences.
Organizers say the 58th edition will continue to focus on Spring–Summer 2027 fabric and product development. Buyers will find a redesigned layout: women’s apparel sourcing and knitwear consolidated in Hall 3; activewear and casual clothing concentrated in Hall 4; and trend forums, services and “Ready to Sell” curated selections in Hall 2. Dedicated sustainability tracks – Econogy Talks, Econogy Finder and the new Econogy HUB – will foreground traceability, responsible materials and compliance-ready partners.
The restructuring reflects buyers’ desire for faster, more integrated sourcing pathways as EU sustainability rules tighten and supply chains seek resilience. Paris remains a strategic meeting point between Asian manufacturing clusters and European brands seeking reliable, transparent suppliers. The fair’s sustainability modules cater to buyers now preparing for EU Digital Product Passport requirements and emissions reporting.
Texworld 2026 will act as an early market test for suppliers’ readiness in traceability, circular materials and compliance-aligned product design. For brands, the show offers a chance to reassess sourcing strategies as costs, regulations and consumer expectations continue to shift.
