Istanbul to host International Carpet and Flooring Expo 2027

Istanbul is set to host the fourth edition of the International Carpet and Flooring Expo (ICFE) from January 6 to 9, 2027, at the Istanbul Expo Center. The event aims to gather over 500 exhibitors and approximately 35,000 industry professionals representing more than 150 countries.

Organized by Tüyap Fairs and Exhibitions Organization with support from GAHIB and IHIB, the expo serves as a strategic platform for manufacturers, importers, distributors, architects, and interior designers to establish commercial relationships and explore new markets. Expected international attendees include buyers from Germany, Italy, the United States, China, India, Belgium, and the United Arab Emirates.

To encourage global participation, the Turkish Ministry of Commerce has implemented a measure to reduce the temporary admission fee for exhibited products from 100% to 10% of the FOB value, aiming to lower costs for international companies.
