What happened
The International Carpet and Flooring Expo will return to the İstanbul Expo Center for its fourth edition from January 6 to 9, 2027. Organizers expect over 500 exhibitors and about 35,000 industry professionals from more than 150 countries.
Confirmed
Global impact / market context
A large trade fair can help carpet and flooring makers meet importers, wholesalers and chain stores from many countries. That can lead to export orders, new business partners and more revenue, while showcasing Türkiye's production and design strengths to international buyers.
Analyst inference
Trade fairs concentrate buyers and sellers in one place, which lowers the cost of finding partners and comparing products. For an industry tied to construction and interior spending, strong exhibitor and visitor numbers can signal healthy demand for flooring.
Analyst inference
What to watch
- The event is scheduled at the İstanbul Expo Center from January 6 to 9, 2027, organized by Tüyap Fairs and Exhibitions Organization Inc. and supported by the GAHIB and IHIB exporter associations. Confirmed
- Watch whether organizers confirm final exhibitor and visitor counts near the show, since the figures of over 500 exhibitors and about 35,000 visitors are current expectations, not final results. Proposed
- Watch for announced export deals or partnerships after the fair, because signed orders would show whether the event turned contacts into actual revenue for carpet and flooring companies. Analyst inference
