Despite global challenges, Vietnam’s textile industry is poised for robust growth. This year, the country’s textile and garment exports are projected to reach USD 44 bn [1], reflecting an impressive increase of over 11% compared to the previous year. With more than 42% of local firms anticipating improved business performance in the fourth quarter [2], the Vietnam International Trade Fair for Apparel, Textiles and Textile Technologies (VIATT) stands out as a crucial event for the industry to continue its momentum.

Exhibitors from across Europe and Asia’s diverse textile sectors

Spanning 15,000 sqm of exhibition space across Halls A and B1, VIATT will once again showcase a comprehensive range of products and solutions that encompass the full textile spectrum, including apparel fabrics and accessories, yarns and fibres, garments, home and contract textiles, technical textiles, nonwovens and equipment, and various certifiers and solutions providers. This edition will place a strong emphasis on “what’s next” in the industry, by introducing Econogy Hub and the Innovation and Digital Solutions Zone, respectively highlighting the industry’s movement towards sustainability and technological innovation. The fair will feature robust international exhibitor participation, especially in the dedicated country – region pavilions and zones from India, Japan, Korea, Pakistan, Taiwan, and Thailand, as well as the inaugural European Zone. VIATT 2025 will also serve as a vital platform to provide Vietnamese and international buyers with access to innovative textiles and technologies from leading exhibitors across Asia. While Japan remains the second-largest destination for Vietnam’s apparel exports [3], the country is also a steady supplier in many textile categories.

The fair is set to enhance its status as a top sourcing destination for the Asean region, and buyer delegations from Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and beyond have already confirmed their participation next year.
