AYSAF – the 73rd International Footwear Components Fair, a key meeting point for the footwear ancillary industry, is preparing to bring sector professionals together at Istanbul Fair Center (İFM) between 12–15 November 2025.

AYSAF, which will once again serve as a meeting point for global buyers and suppliers from around the world, will showcase the innovative strength of the footwear ancillary industry on an international platform.

All Industry Components Under One Roof
AYSAF will present products and technologies covering all processes from A to Z in footwear production on a single platform. The fair will feature many product groups including footwear components, leather and synthetic leather, accessories, chemicals, moulds and lasting machines. This broad product range will offer sector professionals the opportunity to discover the latest materials, technologies and design trends.

"AYSAF, an Innovation Hub that Shapes the Sector's Future Vision"
Sait Salıcı, Chairman of the Board of the Footwear Components Manufacturers Association (AYSAD), stressed in his assessment of the fair that AYSAF is not merely a commercial platform:

"AYSAF is not just a trade fair, it is an innovation hub that shapes the future vision of our sector. This year our target is to host more than 500 participants from over 50 countries. In particular, sustainability and digitalisation-themed products, as well as the 'We Design Leather Product Design Project Selection' event we are organising to increase creativity and attract young talent to the sector, will be among the focal points of our fair."

Highlighted Events and Panels
AYSAF 2025 will draw attention not only through commercial collaborations but also through panels that contribute to knowledge sharing and sectoral development. This year, the 'We Design Leather Product Design Project Selection' will also be presented during the fair, bringing young designers' original projects together with the industry.
