Taking place from 26 - 28 February 2025, the show concluded with resounding success, after attracting over 19,000 visits (more than 10% increase) from over 70 countries and regions (2024: 55 countries and regions). The fair also welcomed 463 exhibitors from 24 countries and regions, marking a nearly 13% growth compared to the previous year, while adding several new zones and a pavilion that offered potential for Vietnam’s development towards textile innovation and sustainability, and further integration with the global supply chain. Serving as a catalyst to connect the local market with the global stage, the fair was once again hosted by Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT).

Vietnam’s rising potential in design, technology and sustainability

Aligned with global trends, Viatt 2025 placed a strong emphasis on innovation and sustainability, reflecting the industry’s shift towards eco-conscious practices and cutting-edge technologies, and the growing demand for these in Southeast Asia. The debut Innovation and Digital Solutions Zone and Econogy Hub – the centralized zones for cutting-edge technologies and sustainable products and solutions – emerged as major highlights, underscoring the industry’s commitment to a more sustainable future, across the apparel, home, and technical sectors.

In addition to the numerous fabrics being showcased, more inspiration was on display at the inaugural European Zone, which showcased top-tier French fashion designs, the finest home textiles from Portugal, sustainable textiles from the UK, and more. By organizing a new display zone, the UK Fashion and Textile Association (UKFT) highlighted the craftsmanship of several premium British fabric mills. “The UK has now got a free trade agreement with Vietnam, and has recently become part of CPTPP. Lots of British textiles are being turned into finished goods here. We're very happy to partner with Viatt, and visitors have been pleasantly surprised that we’re exhibiting at just its second edition. The UK industry is also really happy that UKFT is here because Vietnam and Southeast Asia represent such an exciting, relatively new market”, explained Mr Daniel Connolly, Senior Executive, UKFT.
