Marketing efforts and participant registrations are also in full swing for the upcoming major gathering of CFE-Carpet and Flooring Expo, which was held for the first time at Istanbul Fair Center in December 2023.
Following the overwhelming interest at the first fair, Carpet and Flooring Expo will expand with three additional halls for its upcoming gathering, scheduled for January 7-10, 2025. The fair, which will take place in a 100 thousand m2 area and showcase the displays of carpet giants from around the world and Turkey, has secured its place among the leading fairs in the sector.
Excitement has begun for the Carpet & Flooring Expo organized in collaboration with Tüyap Fair Group, Istanbul Carpet Exporters’ Association, and Southeastern Anatolia Carpet Exporters’ Association.
The fair, scheduled to take place at Yeşilköy Istanbul Fair Center from January 7 to January 10, 2025, will gather industry professionals, designers, and buyers once again. Visitors will have the opportunity to see the latest innovations in carpet and flooring products, as well as color and material samples, all under the same roof. The fair also hosts events that inform visitors about future trends in the industry.
“The world’s most highly attended carpet fair” in its second year
In December 2023, the fair hosted 21,284 visitors from 103 countries, primarily from Europe, America, Africa, and Asia, with 400 companies and representatives, including 52 foreign firms from 13 countries; and due to high demand from potential participants, three additional halls were added to accommodate this overwhelming interest. Visitors to Carpet and Flooring Expo, acclaimed as “the most highly attended event in the sector”, will have the opportunity to see everything related to the carpet industry under one roof, spread across 11 halls totaling 100 thousand m2, including handmade carpets and kilims, machine-made carpets, kilims, doormats, prayer rug varieties, textile floor coverings, and textile machinery accessories.
The fair, hosting business connections and opportunities, is expected to remain the industry’s leading global event in the coming years, contributing significantly to increasing carpet exports by opening new markets abroad and strengthening existing relationships through branded and innovative products.
