Thus underscoring the show’s status as Eurasia's leading trade show for the carpet and floor coverings sectors – an industry, which aims to reach a trade volume of 65 billion dollars globally by maintaining its growth stability in the next 7 years. “DOMOTEX Turkey has once again strengthened its position as a flagship show and key international gathering for the carpet sector by facilitating major business deals to carry the sector towards its export targets. We are proud to be a part of this success", stated Annika Klar, General Manager, Hannover Fairs Turkey Fuarcılık.

Sustainable and innovative solutions for the global market

The current main theme "Sustainability and Recycling" referred to the megatrend of sustainability and offered manufacturers a platform to highlight their eco-friendly and sustainable products. “Over the last few years, hardly any other topic was as deeply present in our minds as sustainability – as it is essential for all of us. Sustainability is of vital importance for human survival. I’m happy so many exhibitors used this opportunity to present innovative solutions”, explained Klar. Visitors could discover a wide range of eco-friendly carpets and rugs made of sustainable material such as bamboo, cotton and wool, as well as antibacterial luxury vinyl tiles and laminate and flexible floor coverings made from recycled materials.
