Istanbul Shoe and Leather Goods Exhibition, Turkey

The Istanbul Shoe and Leather Goods Exhibition (Aymod) is the second-largest footwear industry trade show in the world. Established in 1987, it is also one of Turkey’s most prestigious exhibitions. It brings together leading global brands and designers to showcase the latest fashion trends and foster valuable business relationships.

The Istanbul Shoe and Leather Goods Exhibition (Aymod) spans an exhibition area of 60,000 square meters across six pavilions. The event attracts 547 leading domestic and international companies from over twenty countries, including Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, Mexico, Pakistan, Greece, Romania, India, Iran, Indonesia, Russia, Ukraine, and South Africa, all presenting their newest products.

With a population of 78.66 million, Istanbul—the host city—ranks as the sixth-largest metropolis globally and the largest in Europe, boasting the second-largest metropolitan area worldwide. As the only global city straddling two continents, Istanbul enjoys a unique geographical position, serving as a gateway to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, and North Africa, and offering distinctive business opportunities. Its proximity to the Middle East and Central Asia, coupled with its robust trade ties to Ukraine, Eastern Europe, North Africa, and broader European markets, has helped establish a regional trade hub capable of reaching a potential consumer base of 1.5 billion people. As Turkey’s largest port city and a major financial, commercial, and business center, Istanbul benefits from continuous advancements in footwear technology and quality, further enhancing its strategic advantages for footwear exports.

During the Istanbul Shoe and Leather Goods Exhibition (Aymod), the Turkish Footwear Industry Association and the Turkish footwear sector jointly organize research, development, and educational initiatives, supported by KOSGEB. The fair also hosts numerous conferences and seminars exploring future trends in the footwear industry.

In 2018, the exhibition opened its doors to Chinese exhibitors for the first time. As the exclusive general agent for China, Jufair has organized multiple delegations of high-quality Chinese enterprises to participate since 2018, achieving unexpectedly positive results. Our company will continue to facilitate participation by footwear and leather goods companies worldwide.
