Review of 2024 ITM Turkey International Textile Machinery Exhibition

The 2024 Turkey International Textile Machinery Exhibition ITM (ITM2024) was held in Istanbul Tüyap International Convention and Exhibition Center on June 4-8, 2024. ITM2024, jointly organized by Tüyap and Teknik exhibition groups, is the largest and most professional textile machinery event in the Middle East and Eurasia regions. It is known as the most important exhibition platform for textile machinery orientation and technological development.

Turkey's spinning output ranks first in Europe and third in the world. The production of textile fabrics ranks second in Europe and fifth in the world, with woven fabrics ranking first in Europe and second in the world (second only to China); Turkey has the largest investment in textile finishing industry in Europe, and its production capacity ranks third in the world, after China and India. In the field of home textiles, Turkey is the largest home textile producer in Europe, the second largest carpet producer in Europe/the third largest carpet producer in the world. Turkey spans Asia and Europe, with a unique geographical location and close ties with the Balkans, Caucasus, CIS and Middle East countries, making it one of the most prosperous trade centers in the world. It is very easy for businessmen from Middle East and Central Asian countries to apply for visas in Turkey, and for businessmen from Middle East and Eastern European countries, Turkey's business costs are very low.

Turkey's textile industry has made great contributions to the country's economy and is Turkey's second largest industry, with industrial exports reaching US $15 billion and imports reaching US $6 billion. It only takes 6-11 days to transport from Turkey to major European countries, and Turkey has a customs union with the EU to facilitate import and export. Turkey is market-oriented and attaches importance to the establishment of free trade zones and industrial free zones. Currently, there are 19 free zones in operation. In the past, Turkey mainly used European textile machinery, but this year, with the performance and competitiveness of Chinese textile machinery products gradually increasing, more and more textile enterprises in Turkey and surrounding countries began to consider choosing Chinese textile machinery products.

During the four-day exhibition period, there was a surge of people on site, a strong atmosphere of communication, and lots of business opportunities. TECCO sincerely thanks all visiting customers and partners for their support and trust. We will continue to adhere to the concept of creating value for customers and look forward to deeper and wider cooperation with new and old customers in the future.
