Marking its quarter-century legacy, the 25th DIFS 2026 (Winter Edition) stands as the longest-running and most influential B2B yarn and fabric sourcing platform in Bangladesh. The exhibition plays a pivotal role in supporting the country’s USD 47+ billion textile and apparel export sector by showcasing a wide range of yarns, fabrics, denim, trims, accessories, and textile technologies.
Over the years, DIFS has served as a strategic bridge connecting global suppliers with Bangladesh’s manufacturing ecosystem, enhancing sourcing efficiency, fostering international collaboration, and strengthening supply-chain resilience. The 2026 Winter Edition further reinforces this role by convening top-tier manufacturers and supplier groups from key textile-producing countries.
The exhibition is open daily to registered business visitors from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, providing an important platform for networking, sourcing, and partnership development within the global textile and garment industry.
