Heimtextil is the world’s largest trade fair for home and contract textiles. It opens the sourcing year every January at Messe Frankfurt, and the 2027 edition runs from 12 to 15 January 2027. In 2026 it hosted around 3,000 exhibitors (96% international) and about 47,000 buyers from 148 nations, 86% of them from abroad.

Two more figures matter for sellers: 78% of visitors were top decision-makers and 68% were repeat visitors. Heimtextil is a buyer-dense event.

The Heimtextil app

Messe Frankfurt provides an app and online platform with exhibitor and product search and trend content. Buyers can plan visits. Exhibitors can’t see which retailers or hotel groups are coming.

How to prospect Heimtextil

  1. Choose your channel: retail, wholesale, contract or private label.
  2. List retailers and wholesalers in your target markets.
  3. Target hotel groups and contract specifiers if you sell contract textiles.
  4. Differentiate from similar Asian manufacturers with design, certification or service points.
  5. Book meetings before Christmas. January comes quickly.
