A broader platform for ASEAN sourcing

The Vietnam International Trade Fair for Apparel, Textiles, and Textile Technologies will take place in Ho Chi Minh City from 26 to 28 February 2026. The fair brings together apparel fabrics, home and contract textiles, and technical textiles in one setting, allowing visitors to review materials and technologies across multiple segments within a single venue.

New zones add depth

This edition introduces several new areas. The German Pavilion and the Turkiye Zone broaden the international presence, while the Textile Chemicals and Dyes Zone gathers suppliers offering colourants and finishing inputs for various manufacturing needs. These additions make it easier for visitors to focus on specific sourcing priorities.

Trend Forum and programme highlights

The first Trend Forum will present insights relevant to apparel, home textiles, and technical applications in one combined space. The expanded fringe programme features an industry summit, fashion shows, workshops, and expert-led seminars with local and international speakers. Attendees can use these sessions for up-to-date information on design directions and industry developments.

Regional relevance

For readers tracking market activities in Vietnam and ASEAN, the fair offers a structured overview of exhibitors across different parts of the textile value chain as defined in the PM.

Outlook for this edition
