JEDDAH, SAUDİ ARABİA: Organised by Pyramids Group, the 4th Saudi Fashiontex Expo is set to open its doors from 24 to 27 September 2026 at the Jeddah Center for Exhibitions & Events (JCEE) . As the region's most influential fashion and textile gathering, the event serves as a strategic gateway for global exporters to capitalise on the historic demand driven by Saudi Arabia’s accelerating Vision 2030 transformation.
The expo acts as a critical supply hub for a market that heavily relies on imports to satisfy its high-net-worth consumer base. With a young, trend-conscious population and rapidly increasing purchasing power, Saudi Arabia presents a massive, untapped opportunity for brands capable of meeting the region's sophisticated standards.
Modernisation Driving Demand
Global manufacturers face a unique opportunity as Saudi Arabia’s fashion market undergoes rapid modernisation, creating a surge in demand for premium international brands and materials. Saudi Fashiontex Expo addresses the urgent need for high-quality imports across the entire value chain.
The exhibition floor will feature a comprehensive range of products, showcasing the latest innovations across the following categories:
- Fabrics & Textiles
- Yarn & Fibers
- Garment Manufacturing
- Leather Goods
- Fashion Accessories
- Trimmings & Haberdashery
- Shoes & Bags
- Textile Machinery
- Digital Printing
- Eco Friendly Products
A High-Spending Market Driven by Imports
The Kingdom’s thriving fashion ecosystem presents a landscape where international brands complement and enrich the growing domestic industry. With approximately 56% of fashion consumption sourced globally, the market offers a robust trade channel for suppliers to introduce diverse styles and materials. This creates a synergistic environment where global expertise meets Saudi Arabia’s high purchasing power and keen eye for quality.
Global Participation and Strategic Connections
Building on the success of its previous edition, which hosted over 10,000 professional visitors and 550 exhibitors from 25+ countries, the 2026 edition is set to be the largest gathering of textile professionals in the Gulf Region. Major industry players from USA, Italy, Switzerland, UK, Spain, France, Germany, Türkiye, China, India and Saudi Arabia will connect directly with:
- Wholesalers & Chain Stores: Procuring extensive ready-to-wear inventory and securing large-scale orders.
- Boutique Owners: Looking for exclusive "Haute Couture" collections.
- Fashion Designers & Manufacturers: Sourcing high-quality raw materials and machinery.
- Garment Exporters & Importers: Building new trade partnerships and expanding international market reach.
Insight & Innovation: Fashion Seminars
Beyond the trade floor, the expo serves as a premier intellectual hub for the industry. Building on the resounding success of the previous edition—which featured a strategic collaboration with the Fashion Pioneers Club —the event will once again host a comprehensive seminar series.
Last year’s program set a high benchmark, hosting 23 sessions led by 60 distinguished speakers from Saudi Arabia, Italy, Germany, India, and Jordan. Covering critical themes such as sustainability, smart textiles, and digital innovation, these sessions provided a roadmap for the evolving global textile marketplace. The 2026 edition promises to deepen this dialogue, offering participants exclusive insights into the technological and ecological trends shaping the Gulf region's fashion landscape.
Offering unparalleled access to key buyers and decision-makers in the Gulf, Saudi Fashiontex Expo 2026 continues to be the ultimate destination for forging lasting business connections and driving international trade.
The exhibition promises to be a groundbreaking event for the industry.
