The 16th International Istanbul Yarn Fair, organised by Tüyap Fair Group, is getting prepared to bring yarn manufacturers and visitors together to develop Turkey’s economy and facilitate the establishment of new business relations among the firms.

The leading yarn manufacturers from Turkey and other countries will lead the yarn trade at the event that takes place from 28 February – 2 March to display their innovative and advanced technology products. The trade fair opens its doors next year to 308 companies and company representatives from 15 different countries. The fair hosted 12,498 visitors from 84 different countries in 2018.

“As we approach the end of 2018, the textile and raw materials industry is getting ready to break its record in the history of Turkey given the export rates,” organisers report. “In the first half of the year, Turkey, exporting to more than 200 countries, achieved a 7.3% increase in exports as compared to the previous year. Having the greatest portion in textile exports and being one of the most important sub-sectors in the textile industry, yarn products play a key role in boosting our country’s economy.”

With robotic technologies being utilised more and more in ready-to-wear clothing worldwide, home textile and ready-to-wear clothing being diversified each year and the continued search for design and distinctiveness in ready-to-wear clothing, the yarn used in woven and knitted fabric manufacturing has gradually become very important.

“Thus, woven and knitted fabric manufacturing suppliers, aiming to meet the developing and renewed requirements of the market and compete in both domestic and foreign markets, have embarked on a quest for product range in yarn. In this context, fairs meet the needs of woven and knitted fabric manufacturing suppliers so that they can access yarn resources and fulfil renewed and increasing demands quickly,” organisers explain.
