From Denizli to China: The Far East Journey of Turkish Home Textiles

From Denizli to China: The Far East Journey of Turkish Home Textiles

Canton Fair, known as one of the world's largest and most established trade fairs, is being held in Guangzhou, China on May 1-5, 2025.

While 23 companies from Denizli are participating in the 137th Canton Fair, which is being held in Guangzhou, China between May 1-5, 2025; Denizli Exporters Association is also participating with an info stand.

First held in 1957 and held twice a year, the Canton Fair stands out as one of the most significant and well-established trade events globally. The fair continues to serve as a crucial gateway for trade into markets such as China, the Far East, and Southeast Asia. Another important aspect of the fair is that it hosts buyers from all around the world.

At this fair, which has become a meeting point for global buyers, DENIB member companies and sector representatives will have the opportunity to come together and meet. Home textile products that appeal to buyers with their design diversity and product quality will continue to be trend-setting products for sector representatives.

Evaluating the five-day fair, DENIB President Hüseyin Memişoğlu made the following remarks:

“As you know, 76% of Turkey's total towel exports, 67% of bathrobe exports and 60% of bed linen exports are made from Denizli. We alone have a 6% share in the world towel exports. This success comes not only with numbers but also with quality, sustainability and designs that make a difference.

The Canton Fair is a prestigious fair that has become a meeting point for buyers not only from China but also from around the world. Our companies from Denizli will once again demonstrate the strength of Turkish home textiles in this important arena.

Our aim is not only to establish new commercial connections, but also to emphasize the quality and original designs of Turkish home textiles once again in the international market.  Increasing environmental awareness and quality expectations are a great advantage for companies like us that produce at high standards. As DENIB, we will take our place in this year's fair with our Turkish Towels brand. In a period when the balances in global trade are changing, it is of great importance for exporters from Denizli to assume a more active role and develop new commercial partnerships.

We will continue our efforts to bring Denizli's strength in exports, design and innovation capability to the international showcase and to build new trade bridges. On this occasion, I extend my wishes for the fair to be beneficial for all our participants.”
