Messe Frankfurt has also released a press briefing and overview in which the forecast for 2009's show is revealed. In it the organizers have stated that the supply side for home textiles is becoming diversified around the globe and strong production regions such as Turkey, China, India and Pakistan are offering a complete range of ready-made textiles and yard goods at all levels of quality. The guide also mentions emerging markets like Vietnam and Thailand, with focus shifting away from Europe, North America and Japan as producers but more as design hubs.
