TextileExpo Uzbekistan: A Direct Gateway to Central Asia’s Expanding Consumer Market

The 26th International Exhibition of Textile and Garment Industry
TextileExpo Uzbekistan Spring 2026

Dates: 13–15 May, 2026
Venue: Tashkent, Uzbekistan | Uzexpocentre NEC

TextileExpo Uzbekistan Spring 2026 goes beyond the traditional exhibition format, offering a strategic gateway to a rapidly expanding market of more than 38 million consumers, underpinned by increasing purchasing power and a fast-growing fashion sector.

According to the latest official statistics for January–November 2025, Uzbekistan's textile industry continues to demonstrate a robust production growth. The data from the Agency for Statistics under the President of Uzbekistan show that output of finished garments increased by 24.3% in 2025 as compared to 2024. The industry is simultaneously advancing up the value chain, as producers are moving beyond traditional cotton and basic knitwear towards higher value-added segments, including garments made from technologically advanced and premium fabrics such as linen, silk and viscose. To support quality enhancement and product differentiation, manufacturers are incorporating high-grade imported inputs, including trims, lace, specialised threads, fabrics and accessories that are not yet produced domestically.

The growth of domestic production and consumer demand is directly driving an increase in retail outlets, including conventional clothing stores, branded boutiques, showrooms, domestic designer stores, retail spaces in shopping centres, and registered trading pavilions across Uzbekistan.

Key Market Drivers:

✔ Retail turnover growth of approximately 10% per year
✔ Rapid expansion of domestic garment production
✔ Active development of small businesses in retail sector
✔ Ongoing expansion of shopping centres and street retail, particularly in Tashkent

TextileExpo Uzbekistan Spring 2026 presents the full spectrum of inputs and solutions for garment manufacturing, making it a key destination for producers of yarn, fabrics, apparel, home textiles, trims and accessories seeking new clients, distributors and commercial partners. Amid the rapid development of the entire industry value chain – from manufacturing facilities to retail outlets offering finished products – the exhibition serves as an integrated platform, bringing together suppliers of raw materials with stakeholders involved in design, promotion and sale of textile goods.

The exhibition is expected to host over 170 participants from 8 countries, with traditionally strong representation from China. The registration of participating companies is underway.
