Hosting Türkiye’s largest companies each year, DOMOTEX Turkey is the biggest meeting of the global carpet and floor covering industry in Türkiye and the Middle East. Anticipating great interest from international purchasing professionals, this year’s Exhibition will take place at ANFAŞ International Fair and Congress Centre between 10-13 July in Antalya, with the sector’s giants presenting innovative designs.
DOMOTEX Turkey, the biggest meeting point for the global carpet and floor covering sector in Türkiye and the Middle East, is enthusiastically anticipated every year by the sector’s largest companies. For the sector, expected to reach a trade volume of 65 billion dollars in the next seven years by maintaining its growth stability, the Fair brings an important contribution to brands’ growth journey via the trade volume it generates and prepares the ground for new business agreements with thousands of professional domestic and foreign visitors. DOMOTEX Turkey opens a new door to domestic producers seeking entry into the international market as well as sector giants. Featuring annual themes, the Fair enables exhibitors to develop themselves in trending focus areas and, in addition, includes dedicated spaces where the latest technologies are exhibited. Realizing 2.7 billion dollars of exports in 2022 and 826 million dollars of exports as of the end of April 2023, the Turkish carpet sector is growing day by day with innovations and is projected to exceed the figures of previous years via agreements organized at DOMOTEX.  In 2023, Turkish producers -  mainly exporting to countries such as the USA, Saudi Arabia, England, Germany, Libya, UAE, Iraq, Kuwait and Israel - are expected to take steps in opening new markets, thanks to the attendance of purchasing professionals from around the world.

The sector’s strongest brands return to DOMOTEX Turkey this year!
Responding to intense demand from the carpet and floor coverings sector each succeeding year, DOMOTEX Turkey continues to grow by strengthening its network through  accompanying the sector’s most valuable brands. While purchasing professionals from Türkiye, the Middle East, the Turkic Republics, the USA and India continue to demonstrate great interest in the Fair, it is also curious to see exhibitors’ new products and solutions within the theme of "Sustainability and Recycling". While many new business agreements were signed at last year’s event - attended by more than 18,000 visitors from 103 countries and with more than 200 exhibitors – this year’s event promises even more significant results as exhibitors will have the opportunity for numerous bilateral business meetings with manufacturers, wholesalers-distributors, furniture stores, floor covering professionals and other specialized retailers.
While the carpet and floor coverings sector in Türkiye expands its exports day by day, DOMOTEX Turkey plays an important role for participants in reaching their target markets,  providing a fertile platform for carpet and floor coverings manufacturers through the business energy and trade volume it generates. In the 2022 report on the event,  79% of the participants declared that they reached their target export markets through DOMOTEX Turkey; 93% said they were highly satisfied with the visitor quality at the event. DOMOTEX Turkey is expected to continue its uninterrupted growth momentum with this continuous high performance in satisfaction rates .

Adding vitality to Antalya while hosting sector innovations
In order to maintain the sector’s growth stability, this year’s DOMOTEX Turkey will again take place in Antalya; the Gaziantep Middle East Expo Center (OFM) is instead being utilized as a logistic base for aid following the February earthquake. As always, the event will host innovations and indirectly contribute to a number of sectors including accommodation, F&B,  tourism and entertainment. The exhibition also presents opportunities to view and evaluate innovative products such as self-cleaning nano-carpets that contain natural minerals and react to the light of the environment. In addition, products like antibacterial and bacteria-resistant floor coverings and laminates, decorative carpets, non-slip carpets and handwoven high-end machine carpets will be introduced. Especially highlighting sustainable examples in the context of the climate crisis, exhibitors will provide information on their new environmentally friendly projects.
