VTG | VFM | VITATEX | DYECHEM Exhibition: 2026 Vietnam Textile and Footwear Four-Show Mega Event Grandly Opens in October

Seizing the Trillion-Dollar Dividend in Southeast Asia: The 2026 Vietnam Textile and Footwear 'Four Concurrent Exhibitions' Super Event Grandly Opens in October | VTG | VFM | VITATEX | DYECHEM Exhibition

Introduction: The Essential Path to Reshaping the Global Supply Chain. With the accelerated shift of global manufacturing to Southeast Asia, Vietnam has firmly established itself as the world's third-largest textile and garment exporter and the second-largest footwear exporter. As the most dynamic fashion and footwear supply chain hub in ASEAN, the Vietnamese market is ushering in a new wave of technological iteration and industrial upgrading.

From October 14 to 17, 2026, the highly anticipated flagship industry event—the 24th Vietnam International Textile & Garment Industry Exhibition (VTG) and three other concurrent exhibitions—will be grandly held at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Breaking traditional barriers, this exhibition fully integrates four major themes: Textile Machinery (VTG), Fabrics & Accessories (VITATEX), Dyeing & Chemical (Dyechem), and Footwear Machinery & Materials (VFM), creating a 'one-stop' platform for global expansion and procurement covering the entire lifecycle of textiles, garments, and footwear.

I. Industry Insight: Current Pain Points and Transformation Trends for Enterprises

In the current global trade environment, textile and footwear factories in Vietnam and Southeast Asia are facing unprecedented structural challenges, but they are also giving rise to clear transformation trends:

1. Core Pain Points: Rising Costs and Compliance Barriers

1) Diminishing labor dividends: The minimum wage in Vietnam continues to rise, making the traditional labor-intensive model unsustainable. Factories are struggling with difficulties in recruiting and retaining workers.

2) Green barriers from Europe and the US: The EU Supply Chain Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and increasingly stringent US restrictions on ESG, low-carbon, and environmentally friendly practices in textiles are posing challenges. Factories lacking green certifications or those with high pollution and high energy consumption in their production processes face the risk of being removed from the supply chains of major international brands.

3) Supply chain gaps: Although Vietnam has strong processing and manufacturing capabilities, it heavily relies on external imports for high-quality, functional fabrics and accessories, green chemicals, and advanced intelligent equipment.

2. Evolution Trends: Digitalization and Full-Chain Flexibility

1) Intelligent Replacement of Manual Labor: Evolving from "automation" to "AI intelligence." Hardcore technologies such as vision-based marking, robotic molding, and 3D intelligent design are becoming essential needs for factories.

2) Small Orders, Fast Response, and Flexible Production: Facing the global fast fashion order norm of "multiple varieties, small batches, short delivery times," traditional rigid assembly lines must transform into highly flexible digital supply chains.

II. Monumental Testimony: Impressive Scale and Industry Acclaim from Previous Editions

As a benchmark exhibition deeply rooted in Vietnam for over two decades, this series of exhibitions has always been the first choice for global giants to explore the ASEAN market.

1. Scale of Previous Exhibitions

Previous editions have attracted over 20,000 professional visitors and nearly a thousand benchmark exhibitors from more than twenty countries and regions, including China (including Taiwan and Hong Kong), Japan, South Korea, Germany, Italy, India, and Singapore. The exhibition area has expanded year after year, covering all halls of SECC, with on-site transaction volume and order volume continuously leading similar exhibitions in Southeast Asia.

2. Overwhelming Industry Acclaim

1) Feedback from international exhibitors: "This is our core window for expanding into the Southeast Asian market. At the exhibition, we can not only directly connect with major OEM giants in Vietnam for brands like Nike and Adidas, but also meet numerous cross-border buyers from Cambodia and Bangladesh. The internationalization level and buyer precision of the exhibition are astonishing."

2) Evaluation from a local footwear and apparel factory manager: "The four concurrent exhibitions allow us to avoid traveling around. In one venue, we can fulfill all our needs from fabric procurement, dyeing and finishing color card comparison, to intelligent sewing machines and成型 shoe machines for integrated upgrades. This is the most technologically advanced exhibition in Vietnam."
