Syria is aiming to rebuild its once-significant textile sector, which previously exported garments to markets across Europe and the Arab world. The industry experienced a period of prolonged decline following the onset of civil war, which dismantled manufacturing capabilities over several years. According to Euronews, the recent lifting of sanctions and the emergence of returning investors have provided a window for potential industrial restoration.
To test the viability of this recovery, Aleppo has hosted its first major trade fair in years. The event serves as a platform to assess whether the nation can successfully re-establish its historical position as a regional textile powerhouse. Industry stakeholders are monitoring the results of the fair to determine the future trajectory of the Syrian manufacturing sector.
