As the world\u2019s leading trade fair<\/a> for home and contract textiles, interior design, and trends, Heimtextil 2026 will once again bring the global industry together in Frankfurt. Organized by Messe Frankfurt from 13 to 16 January 2026, the fair aims to further strengthen its ties with the Turkish textile industry, as in previous years. Heimtextil Directors Margit Herberth and Bettina B\u00e4r attended a press conference held in Istanbul to promote Heimtextil 2026, whose main theme is \u201cCraft is a verb,<\/a>\u201d and to evaluate current developments. They shared information about the fair and the sector and presented trends.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the presentation titled \u201cLead the Change\u201d, attention was drawn to the transformation of the global market. Margit Herberth emphasized that geopolitical challenges and economic instability, inflation and cost pressures, declining consumer demand, as well as artificial intelligence and digitalization are the key drivers reshaping the sector worldwide. Herbert noted that artificial intelligence is changing the game \u2014 from trends to innovation, adding: \u201cTwo forces are shaping the market and consumer demand: hyper-individualization and connectivity. These two factors are powerfully transforming the market. AI profoundly impacts every field \u2014 from fashion to furniture. It enables real-time hyper-personalization across products and services. By adapting to individual needs and creating unique experiences, AI strengthens the personal and emotional bond between manufacturers and consumers. Businesses can become empowered through AI \u2014 gaining real-time data and insights. It facilitates and accelerates scalable value chains, production, and product development. Thanks to intelligent systems, tailor-made offers can now be created faster and more authentically than ever before.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
