With the new premium segment Carpets & Rugs Excellence, the Comfort & Connect area and the Heimtextil Trends 27/28, Heimtextil 2027 is sharpening its offering for a market under pressure. Today, textile products need to prove their quality, functionality and long-term value. From 12 to 15 January 2027, the leading trade fair for home and contract textiles and textile design showcases relevant innovations across the entire value chain: from fibres and yarns to designs by international studios and emerging talent, through to finished collections, functional contract textiles and complete interior solutions.
Increasingly complex requirements are shaping demand for home and interior products. Consumers are taking a closer look at price, quality, functionality and durability. At the same time, geopolitical uncertainty is making international supply chains more difficult to plan. Planners and buyers are looking for textiles that perform reliably in everyday use, as well as partners who can consistently deliver the agreed quality and volumes – now and in the future. Against this backdrop, Heimtextil 2027 remains at the previous year’s level. Around 2,900 exhibitors confirm the event’s stability and international relevance. “In a market that is increasingly difficult to predict, quality, reliability and strong personal relationships matter. At Heimtextil, trade visitors experience materials first-hand, discuss their requirements directly with manufacturers and find production partners capable of delivering the volumes they need. This combination of product experience, an international offering and personal exchange makes Heimtextil a reliable strategic partner for the industry – especially in a challenging market,” says Olaf Schmidt, vice president textiles and textile technologies at Messe Frankfurt.
Home to the world's largest trade fair offering for Textile Design. International studios present patterns, colour worlds and design concepts for home and contract textiles. Buyers, product developers and creatives experience colours, scales and textures first-hand, select designs for upcoming collections and connect directly with designers.
Curated in cooperation with Jennifer Castoldi (Trendease), the New Talent Area continues to grow in its second year. With more than 30 talents already confirmed, it brings the vision of a new generation of designers to Frankfurt – with innovative designs, materials and sustainable approaches.
