Though the Turkish textile and clothing supplies industry is a very young industry compared to the main textile and clothing industry, it is growing very rapidly not only in terms of production but also in terms of exports.
Direct exports of textile and clothing supplies rose to about US$ 492 million in 2007 from US$ 278 million in 2005. On the other hand, a large quantity of textile and clothing supplies are exported indirectly, i.e. with clothing and made up textiles. It is estimated that US$ 1.8 billion worth of textile and clothing supplies were exported indirectly in 2007.
The main export products in 2007 were embroideries, zippers, labels, wadding, interlining, sewing yarns, braids, trimmings, tassels, narrow fabrics etc.
Major export markets in 2006 were Russia, Poland, Iran, Germany, the UK, Italy, Romania and the USA.
As an important textile and
clothing exporting country, many fairs in the textile and clothing sector are being held in Turkey every year. In 2008, the number of fairs
related to textile and clothing sector is over 20 and some of them include textile and
clothing supply products. Major fairs in 2008 are as follows:
