Vietnam's textile and garment sector is poised for continued growth in 2025, with exports expected to reach $44 billion, marking a notable 11 per cent increase over the previous year. This positive outlook is further supported by more than 42 per cent of local businesses forecasting improved performance in Q4 2024. The Vietnam International Trade Fair for Apparel, Textiles, and Textile Technologies (VIATT), scheduled for February 26-28, 2025, at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC), will play a pivotal role in fueling this momentum.
VIATT 2025: A premier industry event
Spanning 15,000 sqm of exhibition space, VIATT 2025 will feature a diverse array of products and solutions, showcasing the full spectrum of the textile industry, from apparel fabrics and accessories to technical textiles, nonwovens, and machinery. The event will highlight key trends such as sustainability and technological innovation with the introduction of two new zones: Econogy Hub and the Innovation & Digital Solutions Zone.
The fair will attract significant international participation, with exhibitors from leading textile-producing countries. Notable participants will include exhibitors from India, Japan, Korea, Pakistan, Taiwan, Thailand, and the inaugural European Zone. European exhibitors, such as BossaTicaret (Turkey), Chargeurs PCC Asia (France), Hohmann GmbH & Co KG (Germany), and Technical Absorbents Ltd (UK), will showcase their advanced textile solutions, including high-quality denim, interlinings, home textiles, and superabsorbent materials.
Focus on innovation and sustainability
The focus on innovation will be evident through new offerings like Murata Machinery's Vortex, a unique yarn production technology that enhances sustainability with high productivity and energy efficiency. Tamurakoma & Co (Japan) will also present innovative functional fabrics, while other Japanese firms like Toyoshima & Co and Stylem Takisada-Osaka will display advanced apparel fabrics and high-quality manufacturing solutions.
With the growing demand for sustainable solutions, the Econogy Hub and Innovation & Digital Solutions Zone will play crucial roles in positioning VIATT as a forward-thinking platform. These areas will explore the industry’s transition toward sustainable practices and technological advancements, offering valuable insights for both exhibitors and visitors.
Vietnam's textile sector remains a vital player in the global market, with Japan continuing to be a key destination for its apparel exports. Vietnamese exhibitors, such as IDFL Vietnam and Sigma Vietnam Industrial, will join global counterparts in presenting the latest innovations in apparel fabrics, home textiles, and technical textiles. VIATT 2025 will strengthen Vietnam’s position as a leading textile manufacturing hub and an essential sourcing destination for international buyers.
A strategic platform for global buyers
VIATT 2025 will serve as a crucial platform for buyers from across the ASEAN region and beyond. Delegations from Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and other key markets have already confirmed their participation. The fair will not only provide networking opportunities but also facilitate new business connections and partnerships within the textile and garment industry.
Organized by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd and the Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency (VIETRADE), VIATT 2025 is set to be a major event for the textile and garment sectors. By bringing together exhibitors from Europe, Asia, and beyond, the fair will help accelerate industry growth and solidify Vietnam’s position as a global textile powerhouse.
