According to a report by Innovation in Textiles, Heimtextil expects around 2,900 participants at its 2027 edition in Frankfurt. The fair is keeping participant numbers at the level of the previous year. This is notable in a period when uncertainties such as pressure on consumer spending and supply chain disruptions persist.
