Carpet and Flooring Expo 2025 Opens Its Doors in Istanbul

Carpet and Flooring Expo (CFE) 2025, one of the largest events in the carpet and flooring industry, is set to begin on January 7 at the Istanbul Expo Center. First held in 2023 to great acclaim, this year’s event spans a massive 120,000 square meters, showcasing the latest innovations in 11 halls with participation from hundreds of local and international brands.

A Global Stage for Innovation

Running from January 7 to 10, 2025, CFE will feature groundbreaking innovations in the carpet sector. Jointly organized by Tüyap Fair Organization Group, the Istanbul Carpet Exporters’ Association, and the Southeastern Anatolia Carpet Exporters’ Association, this major event aims to bring industry leaders together in one place.

Worldwide Promotion Campaigns

CFE 2025 has already become a highly anticipated event in the industry, thanks to extensive marketing efforts in 80 countries. Tüyap's participation in Japan’s Japantex Fair (November 20–22, 2024) played a key role in promoting CFE globally, particularly in the Asia-Pacific market, where strong interest is expected.

The Pinnacle of Carpet and Flooring Technology

From handmade carpets and rugs to machine-made options, prayer rugs, and textile flooring, CFE offers a comprehensive product range under one roof. With three additional halls added this year, the fair now spans 11 halls and expects record participation, with over 430 exhibitors from 18 countries.

Beyond product displays, CFE will host panels on sustainability, recycling, and eco-friendly production techniques, as well as presentations by top designers and industry leaders showcasing new trends.

Connecting Anatolia to the World

The inaugural 2023 event welcomed 400 companies, including 52 international firms, and drew 21,284 visitors from 103 countries. Building on this success, CFE 2025 has already filled its exhibitor slots, with additional requests placed on a waiting list.

This fair serves as a vital platform for promoting Anatolian weaving traditions and innovative products to the global market, playing a significant role in boosting Turkey’s $2.8 billion carpet export industry.

Bringing together industry leaders, designers, and buyers, Carpet and Flooring Expo is more than just a trade fair - it’s a launchpad for innovations that shape the future of flooring. Professionals seeking to make a mark in the industry can visit www.icfexpo.com for more details and invitations.
