The Istanbul edition differentiates itself from other Tissue World events by bringing leading finished product manufacturers together on the show floor. Companies such as Aktül Kağıt, Eczacıbaşı Tüketim Ürünleri, Hayat Kimya, and Lila Group  serve as the main attraction for tissue trading companies and distributors. Holding 300,000 – 350,000 tons of the regional tissue import and export business, these companies account for over 40% of the regional tissue business.

For the first time, Tissue World Istanbul also features non-woven machinery suppliers. The expansion of the exhibit profile is in line with the steady growth in both retail market and non-woven production. According to Euromonitor International, the Turkish retail market size for wet wipes, nappies/diapers/pants and sanitary protection is estimated at US$1,006 billion for 2017.

The non-woven machinery suppliers include Quanzhou Chuangda Machinery Manufacturer, Shanghai SNS Intelligent Technology, Hangzhou New Yuhong Intelligent Equipment, Xinfa Nonwoven Machinery and Wenzhou Weipai Machinery.
