Heimtextil 2025 is gearing up to present an even larger, more international, and higher-quality Carpets & Rugs segment. The upcoming event will feature double the number of exhibitors, an additional hall level, and exciting new highlights. Industry professionals can look forward to seeing strong brands, innovative products, and engaging content formats at the international trade fair for home and contract textiles, set to take place in Frankfurt.
The Carpets & Rugs segment is experiencing substantial growth in both quality and quantity, with more than twice as many exhibitors already registered compared to the previous year, six months ahead of the event. “This response from the market highlights the industry’s need for a strong, international, and centralized carpet platform, and Heimtextil is well-positioned to meet that demand,” said Bettina Bär, director of Heimtextil. “We are offering a comprehensive market overview with a diverse product range and the highest quality standards. We’ve listened to the market, and now we are expanding and organizing our offerings to present them in a well-structured manner for visitors.”
The segment’s growth will be showcased with the addition of Hall 5.0, which will host an expanded selection of hand-woven carpets and international country pavilions. Meanwhile, Hall 5.1 will continue to feature machine-woven carpets, alongside pre-production materials such as fibers and yarns, as well as carpet-specific technologies. Visitors will also find a broad array of hand-knotted carpets, doormats, clean-off systems, outdoor textile solutions, and products designed for contract businesses. A new collaborative carpet area is being developed with Ragolle Rugs and the Belgian association Fedustria, where Belgian exhibitors will present high-quality offerings in a joint display.
