TURKEY MEETING OF THE WORLD TEXTILE
The technical textiles and nonwovens industry, which became the most important market of today, gathered at HIGHTEX 2012 Exhibition to be organized in Istanbul on 21-24 April 2012, then decided to keep on success. In this respect, Turkey developing itself rapidly in the field of technical textiles and nonwovens will host the world’s leading trademarks at HIGHTEX 2013.
The 5th HIGHTEX 2013 Istanbul Technical Textiles and Nonwoven Exhibition organized by Teknik Fuarcilik will be held at Beylik-duzu Tuyap Fair and Congress Center on 29 May- 1 June 2013. At HIGHTEX 2013 Exhibition being the first and sole exhibition in its field in Turkey; technical textiles raw materials, semi and finished products, and production technologies will be displayed.
HIGHTEX 2013 Exhibition being the largest technical textiles and nonwovens meeting in Middle East and East Europe will be held simultaneously with ITM Texpo Eurasia 2013 and Istanbul Yarn Exhibition. In Turkey, where the textile industry recovered and investments increase after the end of the global economic crisis, in the recent years many important investments have been realized especially in the field of technical textiles and nonwovens.
Turkish companies, which became important semi product and finished product exporters in the whole world, are among the largest buyers of technological investments. In line with these developments, it is expected that HIGHTEX 2013 Exhibition shall be an important platform to host investments in the world’s fastest growing technical textiles and nonwovens market and shall provide new opportunities.
Automobile and truck tentcoverings and sail tents are
developing technically in orderto supply better protection
against air conditions.
Transportation sector is the mostsignificant market for technical
textiles with automobiles, trains,boats and planes.
TransportTextiles
More technical textile productsare required for protecting,collecting and saving inagriculture, afforestation andfishing sectors. In agriculturaltextile industry, especially theconsumption of nonwovens whichare developed for fish farmequipments and agriculturalapplications is speedly inreasing.
Sports clothes which professionalsportsmen prefer because of their
comfort, safety and highperformance, are now also
demanded by amateurs.
Worldwide interest to activesport has increased the usagerate of technical textiles and
nonwovens.
Why Turkey?Technical textiles and nonwoven production is constantlygrowing in Turkey where production has doubled in the last10 years. In market researches, it is observed that the annualnonwoven consumption in Turkey and in its neighbouringcountries is slightly more than the production.
Increasing demand for disposable hygiene products in Turkey Market profoundity at increase
It’s obvious that technical-textiles and nonwoven production
and consumption will speedly increase in Turkey and Turkey
appears to be the largest market of Europe and the Middle East
in near future. It’s also determined that the most important
development will be in the products which are used in apperal,
building, geotextiles, hygiene and home sectors.
AgriculturalTextiles
SportsTextiles
During studies of preventingerosion and afforestationagricultural textiles are usedwhilst carrying plants togetherwith their soil. In greenhousecoverings, technical textiles whichclimatize the environment arerapidly taking place ofconventional plastic coverings.
Technical textiles and nonwovens produced by many companies
in Turkey, are drawing attention abroad as well as for the local
market. Especially the increase of investments to high
technology and many companies’ commencement for
exportation proove that the sector will continously develop.
The first samples of technicaltextile products used with pro-tection purposes in food heating,boiling and service receivedgreat attention. They are expect-ed to form the fastest growingcategory within food textiles dueto their hygienic benefits andbecause of being a brand newproduct group.
FoodTextiles
Nonwoven products used inpersonal care and cosmeticsfor years, are drawing moreconsumer attention with their
new characteristics.
Increased quota of disposableproducts in hygiene and cos-
metics lead to changes inconsumer habits. Due to thisreason, the sector is antici-pated to have a high growthrate parallel to expanding
production capacities.
Nonwovens are used in lieu ofsimple textile products em-ployed in domestic and out-
door cleaning and for cleaningpurposes at factories, offices,etc. This group will develop
with powder and liquid sensi-tive products.
Cosmetics / Hygiene
Textiles
Today the use of technicaltextiles and nonwovens are notlimited with isolation products.Nonwovens with their stablilitybetween different surfaces areprefered now against classicalfilling materials.
Nonwovens are the favorites ofbuilding industry with theirgreat resistance to differentclimate conditions.
Besides, in recent years morecomposit materials are beingused in quake-against buildingapplications.
Special fiber is added duringmixing period of readyconcrete in order to increaseits strength.
BuildingTextiles
Linings, waddings andinterlinings, which have been verypopular in textile, keep theirimportance with additionaldeveloped features.
Nonwovens and technical textilesin apperal category always findhigh profile customers comparedto the others.
In this category, where wovenproducts are used intensively, highperformance clothes such as sportsand military purpose ones give hopefor the future with high levelproduction engineering.
ApparelTextiles
By the effect of changing costsand new technologies, dailyclothes will be the surpriseproduct of this category.
Another development is theincrease in usage of nonwovenproducts in shoes and leathergarment sector for their comfortand conditioning effects.
Within all categories, the mostspeedly growing productiongroup of the recent years isgeotextiles. In spite of thelimited product range, highconsumption rate speeds up thereturn of first investment.
Geotextiles which were solelybeing used in developedcountries, will be prefered by allcountries now for their facilitiesand costs. Substructureinvestments of developingcountries introduced theunanticipated need forgeotextiles.
Geotextiles are taking their placein ground building for isolationand stability. Continuouslyincreasing geotextile need makesit rational to have localproductions in countries.
GeoTextiles
In recent years especially inhighway adjudications, it isobligatory to use geotextiles andthis indicates that the demandfor this market will increaserapidly.
Domestic use of nonwovens hasdoubled many times in the lastdecade. From carpet bottoms tofurniture skeletons, beds tokitchenware and bathroomequipments, many productsincorporate unwearable textilegoods.
Besides, some unexpectedinnovative products will beintroduced. For example; wallswill be covered with specialcarpets from now on.
Synthetic fiber use in home tex-tiles is also increasing. The newtrend in home textiles is fireblocker featured fabrics.
Home /FurnitureTextiles
The widest usage area oftechnical textiles is industrialapplications.
Technical textiles are alwaysdemanded by factories for theirspecial textures, for filtering andcleaning processes as well as fortheir features such as havingability to be transported on tapeand classified acoording to theirsizes.
IndustrialTextiles
New enviroment regulationshighlight nonwoven filters, whichalmost have unlimited usageareas. Nonwovens offer solutionsnot only for dust but also gas andoil filtrations.
Industrial protection productsare preferred in almost all
branches of industry.
Product range widens day by daywith products such as heat andcold resistant gloves, clothes ,
protection bandages, protectionmaterials in shoes.
ProtectionTextiles
Starting with water resistantumbrellas or high performanceclothes, special products are now
everywhere in daily usedepending on consumer request.
Sacks and bags made oftraditional jut, cotton or naturalfiber gradually leave their place
to modern synthetic fibers.
BigBag and FIBS partypackages, that have started tobe used in recent years, keep
increasing theirvariaties continously.
Nonwovens have also startedto show themselves in the
paper market with lightpackages and heavy weight
cases. Knitted textile productsalso have a growing usage areain consumer packaging sector.
PackagingTextiles
Ecological textile productscategory which includes technical
textiles that are used forenviromental protection
applications covers various kindsof products for dust and smoke
filtration, for preventing erosion,covering toxic waste, etc.
EcologicalTextiles
Ecological products getattention with their high profits.Technical textiles in this industrybecome smarter day by day, so
it will be possible to filtratedifferent kinds of waste
particles, which environmentstandards haven’t taken into
consideration before.
High standard and complextechnical textiles are always
needed in medical processes.Hygienic textiles market is
candidate to exponential growthas the products within this range
are and will be used widely.
Developing countries’ markets arein demand of more medical textiles.Health and hygiene products marketis generally growing paralel to the
increase in world population.
Medical / HygieneTextiles
Technical textiles in automotivewere generally aimed at isolationand covering. Now comfort and
style is at focus as well.
In spite of beingthe most rapidlydeveloping and
expanding category of all,ecological textile products
have the smallest sharein terms of market size.
In recent years, nonwovenproducts are commonly usedin food packaging. Some ofthese products are edible aswell.
Easy to clean nonwovens arepreferred in conveyance offoods during production proc-esses and for their shelf lives.
Hightex 2013 will bring together technology developers and manufacturers
The main goal is to bring together the nonwoven and technical textiles sector, which is delevoping beyond expectations and arousinginvester’ interests, with technology developers in Europe and US. The second aim of the exhibition is to assemblethe gradually increasing consumers of nonwoven and technical texti les with producers and importers.

SMART TEXTILES
Increasing demand for disposable hygiene products in Turkey is providing opportunities for a number of
Turkish companies, as well as foreign investors. In mid-2012 there were some 65 producers of nonwovens in Turkey, compared with just 25 in 2000.
Furthermore, in the five years to 2011, Turkish nonwovens production almost doubled from 89,000
tons to 167,000 tons, and much of this production is being
converted into components for disposable hygiene
products.
Production of baby diapers in Turkey for the domestic market amounted to an estimated 4 billion in 2010. Furthermore, an additional 4 billion items were produced for exporting at low cost, mainly to East European countries, Iran, Iraq, North African countries and Syria. In total, production in Turkey accounted for about 6% of world consumption of diapers. Yet, with about 4.1 million infants under the age of three in the country, penetration of the market for baby diapers in Turkey amounts to only 66%. Furthermore, market penetration is significantly lower in a number of neighbouring countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). These figures suggest that there is much growth potential and, not surprisingly, Turkey’s diaper manufacturers have become a target for foreign
investors. There is also strong growth potential in other product sectors, notably sanitary napkins. With 18million females in Turkey between the ages of 15 and 45, market penetration in this sector is estimated to be only 52%.A significant proportion of the converted nonwoven products exported from Turkey now go to countries in the rapidly growing Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. However, MENA is not the only region of interest for Turkish manufacturing. Within a radius of just 2,000 miles, Turkey has access to markets in most of Europe, most of the MENA region, a region of Central Asia and parts of Russia, with a total of 1.5 billion people.

Increasing demand for disposable hygiene products in Turkey is providing opportunities for a number of
Turkish companies, as well as foreign investors. In mid-2012 there were some 65 producers of nonwovens in Turkey, compared with just 25 in 2000.
Furthermore, in the five years to 2011, Turkish nonwovens production almost doubled from 89,000
tons to 167,000 tons, and much of this production is being
converted into components for disposable hygiene
products.
Production of baby diapers in Turkey for the domestic market amounted to an estimated 4 billion in 2010. Furthermore, an additional 4 billion items were produced for exporting at low cost, mainly to East European countries, Iran, Iraq, North African countries and Syria. In total, production in Turkey accounted for about 6% of world consumption of diapers. Yet, with about 4.1 million infants under the age of three in the country, penetration of the market for baby diapers in Turkey amounts to only 66%. Furthermore, market penetration is significantly lower in a number of neighbouring countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). These figures suggest that there is much growth potential and, not surprisingly, Turkey’s diaper manufacturers have become a target for foreign
investors. There is also strong growth potential in other product sectors, notably sanitary napkins. With 18million females in Turkey between the ages of 15 and 45, market penetration in this sector is estimated to be only 52%.A significant proportion of the converted nonwoven products exported from Turkey now go to countries in the rapidly growing Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. However, MENA is not the only region of interest for Turkish manufacturing. Within a radius of just 2,000 miles, Turkey has access to markets in most of Europe, most of the MENA region, a region of Central Asia and parts of Russia, with a total of 1.5 billion people.

demanded by amateurs.
Worldwide interest to activesport has increased the usagerate of technical textiles and
nonwovens.
Why Turkey?Technical textiles and nonwoven production is constantlygrowing in Turkey where production has doubled in the last10 years. In market researches, it is observed that the annualnonwoven consumption in Turkey and in its neighbouringcountries is slightly more than the production.
Increasing demand for disposable hygiene products in Turkey Market profoundity at increase
It’s obvious that technical-textiles and nonwoven production
and consumption will speedly increase in Turkey and Turkey
appears to be the largest market of Europe and the Middle East
in near future. It’s also determined that the most important
development will be in the products which are used in apperal,
building, geotextiles, hygiene and home sectors.
AgriculturalTextiles
SportsTextiles
During studies of preventingerosion and afforestationagricultural textiles are usedwhilst carrying plants togetherwith their soil. In greenhousecoverings, technical textiles whichclimatize the environment arerapidly taking place ofconventional plastic coverings.
Technical textiles and nonwovens produced by many companies
in Turkey, are drawing attention abroad as well as for the local
market. Especially the increase of investments to high
technology and many companies’ commencement for
exportation proove that the sector will continously develop.
The first samples of technicaltextile products used with pro-tection purposes in food heating,boiling and service receivedgreat attention. They are expect-ed to form the fastest growingcategory within food textiles dueto their hygienic benefits andbecause of being a brand newproduct group.
FoodTextiles
Nonwoven products used inpersonal care and cosmeticsfor years, are drawing moreconsumer attention with their
new characteristics.
Increased quota of disposableproducts in hygiene and cos-
metics lead to changes inconsumer habits. Due to thisreason, the sector is antici-pated to have a high growthrate parallel to expanding
production capacities.
Nonwovens are used in lieu ofsimple textile products em-ployed in domestic and out-
door cleaning and for cleaningpurposes at factories, offices,etc. This group will develop
with powder and liquid sensi-tive products.
Cosmetics / Hygiene
Textiles
Today the use of technicaltextiles and nonwovens are notlimited with isolation products.Nonwovens with their stablilitybetween different surfaces areprefered now against classicalfilling materials.
Nonwovens are the favorites ofbuilding industry with theirgreat resistance to differentclimate conditions.
Besides, in recent years morecomposit materials are beingused in quake-against buildingapplications.
Special fiber is added duringmixing period of readyconcrete in order to increaseits strength.
BuildingTextiles
Linings, waddings andinterlinings, which have been verypopular in textile, keep theirimportance with additionaldeveloped features.
Nonwovens and technical textilesin apperal category always findhigh profile customers comparedto the others.
In this category, where wovenproducts are used intensively, highperformance clothes such as sportsand military purpose ones give hopefor the future with high levelproduction engineering.
ApparelTextiles
By the effect of changing costsand new technologies, dailyclothes will be the surpriseproduct of this category.
Another development is theincrease in usage of nonwovenproducts in shoes and leathergarment sector for their comfortand conditioning effects.
Within all categories, the mostspeedly growing productiongroup of the recent years isgeotextiles. In spite of thelimited product range, highconsumption rate speeds up thereturn of first investment.
Geotextiles which were solelybeing used in developedcountries, will be prefered by allcountries now for their facilitiesand costs. Substructureinvestments of developingcountries introduced theunanticipated need forgeotextiles.
Geotextiles are taking their placein ground building for isolationand stability. Continuouslyincreasing geotextile need makesit rational to have localproductions in countries.
GeoTextiles
In recent years especially inhighway adjudications, it isobligatory to use geotextiles andthis indicates that the demandfor this market will increaserapidly.
Domestic use of nonwovens hasdoubled many times in the lastdecade. From carpet bottoms tofurniture skeletons, beds tokitchenware and bathroomequipments, many productsincorporate unwearable textilegoods.
Besides, some unexpectedinnovative products will beintroduced. For example; wallswill be covered with specialcarpets from now on.
Synthetic fiber use in home tex-tiles is also increasing. The newtrend in home textiles is fireblocker featured fabrics.
Home /FurnitureTextiles
The widest usage area oftechnical textiles is industrialapplications.
Technical textiles are alwaysdemanded by factories for theirspecial textures, for filtering andcleaning processes as well as fortheir features such as havingability to be transported on tapeand classified acoording to theirsizes.
IndustrialTextiles
New enviroment regulationshighlight nonwoven filters, whichalmost have unlimited usageareas. Nonwovens offer solutionsnot only for dust but also gas andoil filtrations.
Industrial protection productsare preferred in almost all
branches of industry.
Product range widens day by daywith products such as heat andcold resistant gloves, clothes ,
protection bandages, protectionmaterials in shoes.
ProtectionTextiles
Starting with water resistantumbrellas or high performanceclothes, special products are now
everywhere in daily usedepending on consumer request.
Sacks and bags made oftraditional jut, cotton or naturalfiber gradually leave their place
to modern synthetic fibers.
BigBag and FIBS partypackages, that have started tobe used in recent years, keep
increasing theirvariaties continously.
Nonwovens have also startedto show themselves in the
paper market with lightpackages and heavy weight
cases. Knitted textile productsalso have a growing usage areain consumer packaging sector.
PackagingTextiles
Ecological textile productscategory which includes technical
textiles that are used forenviromental protection
applications covers various kindsof products for dust and smoke
filtration, for preventing erosion,covering toxic waste, etc.
EcologicalTextiles
Ecological products getattention with their high profits.Technical textiles in this industrybecome smarter day by day, so
it will be possible to filtratedifferent kinds of waste
particles, which environmentstandards haven’t taken into
consideration before.
High standard and complextechnical textiles are always
needed in medical processes.Hygienic textiles market is
candidate to exponential growthas the products within this range
are and will be used widely.
Developing countries’ markets arein demand of more medical textiles.Health and hygiene products marketis generally growing paralel to the
increase in world population.
Medical / HygieneTextiles
Technical textiles in automotivewere generally aimed at isolationand covering. Now comfort and
style is at focus as well.
In spite of beingthe most rapidlydeveloping and
expanding category of all,ecological textile products
have the smallest sharein terms of market size.
In recent years, nonwovenproducts are commonly usedin food packaging. Some ofthese products are edible aswell.
Easy to clean nonwovens arepreferred in conveyance offoods during production proc-esses and for their shelf lives.
Hightex 2013 will bring together technology developers and manufacturers
The main goal is to bring together the nonwoven and technical textiles sector, which is delevoping beyond expectations and arousinginvester’ interests, with technology developers in Europe and US. The second aim of the exhibition is to assemblethe gradually increasing consumers of nonwoven and technical texti les with producers and importers.

SMART TEXTILES
Increasing demand for disposable hygiene products in Turkey is providing opportunities for a number of
Turkish companies, as well as foreign investors. In mid-2012 there were some 65 producers of nonwovens in Turkey, compared with just 25 in 2000.
Furthermore, in the five years to 2011, Turkish nonwovens production almost doubled from 89,000
tons to 167,000 tons, and much of this production is being
converted into components for disposable hygiene
products.
Production of baby diapers in Turkey for the domestic market amounted to an estimated 4 billion in 2010. Furthermore, an additional 4 billion items were produced for exporting at low cost, mainly to East European countries, Iran, Iraq, North African countries and Syria. In total, production in Turkey accounted for about 6% of world consumption of diapers. Yet, with about 4.1 million infants under the age of three in the country, penetration of the market for baby diapers in Turkey amounts to only 66%. Furthermore, market penetration is significantly lower in a number of neighbouring countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). These figures suggest that there is much growth potential and, not surprisingly, Turkey’s diaper manufacturers have become a target for foreign
investors. There is also strong growth potential in other product sectors, notably sanitary napkins. With 18million females in Turkey between the ages of 15 and 45, market penetration in this sector is estimated to be only 52%.A significant proportion of the converted nonwoven products exported from Turkey now go to countries in the rapidly growing Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. However, MENA is not the only region of interest for Turkish manufacturing. Within a radius of just 2,000 miles, Turkey has access to markets in most of Europe, most of the MENA region, a region of Central Asia and parts of Russia, with a total of 1.5 billion people.

SMART TEXTILES
Increasing demand for disposable hygiene products in Turkey is providing opportunities for a number of
Turkish companies, as well as foreign investors. In mid-2012 there were some 65 producers of nonwovens in Turkey, compared with just 25 in 2000.
Furthermore, in the five years to 2011, Turkish nonwovens production almost doubled from 89,000
tons to 167,000 tons, and much of this production is being
converted into components for disposable hygiene
products.
Production of baby diapers in Turkey for the domestic market amounted to an estimated 4 billion in 2010. Furthermore, an additional 4 billion items were produced for exporting at low cost, mainly to East European countries, Iran, Iraq, North African countries and Syria. In total, production in Turkey accounted for about 6% of world consumption of diapers. Yet, with about 4.1 million infants under the age of three in the country, penetration of the market for baby diapers in Turkey amounts to only 66%. Furthermore, market penetration is significantly lower in a number of neighbouring countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). These figures suggest that there is much growth potential and, not surprisingly, Turkey’s diaper manufacturers have become a target for foreign
investors. There is also strong growth potential in other product sectors, notably sanitary napkins. With 18million females in Turkey between the ages of 15 and 45, market penetration in this sector is estimated to be only 52%.A significant proportion of the converted nonwoven products exported from Turkey now go to countries in the rapidly growing Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. However, MENA is not the only region of interest for Turkish manufacturing. Within a radius of just 2,000 miles, Turkey has access to markets in most of Europe, most of the MENA region, a region of Central Asia and parts of Russia, with a total of 1.5 billion people.
