The Carpet and Flooring Expo (CFE) is making headlines with its announced scheduling of the second Edition in 2025, set to take place from January 7th to 10th. However, this date notably coincides with the DOMOTEX Hannover exhibition, sparking discussions and speculations within the industry. The close proximity of these events has led to conjecture that the Istanbul Carpet Fair’s timing could potentially impact DOMOTEX Hannover, creating a challenge for companies seeking participation in both exhibitions due to their concurrent schedules.
Observers anticipate a new chapter in the ongoing competition between the Istanbul Carpet & Flooring Expo and DOMOTEX. The Hannover Exhibition Company recently revealed plans for DOMOTEX in Dubai in April 2024. In response, the CFE has unveiled banners advertising its next exhibition, aligning precisely with Hannover’s Demotex in January 2025, raising Competition in the industry.
Furthermore the organizers of the CFE have hinted at a surprising move – the potential re-holding of the carpet exhibition in Gaziantep, Turkey!
While not officially confirmed, this strategic move could potentially serve as a countermeasure to DOMOTEX’s presence in Dubai. Such a maneuver, if executed, might significantly impact the dynamics among carpet associations.
