While the Aegean Ready-made Clothing and Apparel Exporters’ Association will organize Turkey’s National Participation Organization for the Fashion SVP Fair, which will be held in London on 28-29 April 2026, on the same dates, it will hold a “Sectoral Trade Delegation” in Los Angeles with the participation of 21 companies in order to increase exports to the United States, which they have determined as the target market.
21 Turkish companies will meet with 60 US buyers in Los Angeles
Underlining that they will organize a “Sectoral Trade Delegation” to Los Angeles for the first time as the Aegean Ready-made Clothing and Apparel Exporters Association, President Bağcı stated that 21 Turkish companies, 12 from Izmir, 7 from Istanbul and 2 from Denizli, will hold bilateral business meetings with 60 US importers.
Reminding that they chose the USA as the target market in 2026, President Bağcı said, “The USA is by far the largest clothing importer in the world, with 100 billion dollars of clothing imports in 2025. It is our largest market after Europe for our Turkish ready-made clothing industry. However, we cannot say that we have received enough share from the world’s largest market. We had 1 billion dollars of exports in 2025. By concentrating on this market, we can increase our exports to 2 billion dollars in the medium term.”
EHKİB President Çağlar Bağcı added that the third marketing activities for the US market in 2026 will be the Türkiye National Participation Organization in the PV New York Summer Fair, which will be held on 14-15 July.
