Empowering the Dual Transformation of Global Apparel & Footwear Supply Chains: VTG & VFM 2026 Vietnam International Textile & Garment and Footwear Machinery & Materials Exhibition Officially Launches
Empowering the Dual Transformation of Global Apparel & Footwear Supply Chains: VTG & VFM 2026 Vietnam International Textile & Garment and Footwear Machinery & Materials Exhibition Officially Launches!
As the global apparel and footwear supply chain accelerates toward regional decentralization, nearshoring and cross-border network collaboration, Vietnam, ASEAN and South Asian markets are undergoing a structural dual transformation from a “world factory” into consumer markets.
As the most influential barometer of the global apparel and footwear industrial chain, Vietnam International Textile & Garment Industry Exhibition (VTG 2026) and Vietnam International Footwear Machinery & Materials Exhibition (VFM 2026) will be held in tandem at Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC), Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam on [Fill in specific date], jointly ushering in a new era of intelligent manufacturing for global apparel and footwear!
Centered on three core themes: AI automated manufacturing, ESG green sustainability, and agile fast-response supply chain, the exhibition covers an estimated gross area of 30,000 sqm. It will gather 600 leading global exhibitors and attract over 20,000 professional buyers from home and overseas.
Why Vietnam? Capture Industrial Dividends of ASEAN and South Asia
At present, the industrial maturity and consumption trends of apparel and footwear sectors across ASEAN and South Asia show a gradient development pattern:
Vietnam (Advanced Intelligent Manufacturing & Mature Domestic Market): Vietnam is not only the world’s second-largest apparel and footwear export base, but also home to 40 million middle-class consumers. Local Vietnamese brands are gaining rapidly growing market share, bringing strong demand for agile supply chains that can complete sampling and launch within two weeks, as well as high-grade raw and auxiliary materials. Currently, 60%-70% of Vietnam’s fabrics and accessories rely on imports.
Indonesia (Largest Economy in ASEAN): It has 85 million middle and affluent consumers with robust e-commerce consumption power on platforms including TikTok and Shopee. There is urgent demand for customized, diversified apparel and nearshore fulfillment supply chains.
Cambodia / Myanmar / Bangladesh (Low-cost Manufacturing & Export Tax Optimization): Benefiting from special tariff preferences for European and American markets, these countries serve as core destinations for labor-intensive cutting and sewing capacity relocation.
Invitation to Chinese Exhibitors: From Traditional OEM to Cross-border Network Collaboration
Chinese apparel and footwear manufacturers are facing dual pressures of domestic market competition and foreign trade transformation. VTG & VFM 2026 opens up a cross-border growth path combining China’s upstream raw materials & advanced equipment + local intelligent manufacturing + local consumer brands.
Three Core Values of Participation
Direct access to bulk demand: Meet cross-border manufacturing giants from Vietnam, Indonesia, Bangladesh and other countries with urgent needs for high-grade fabrics, printing & dyeing, footwear materials, footwear machinery and other mid-upstream products.
Embrace agile fast fashion: Provide flexible manufacturing services of small-batch, multi-batch production with two-week lead time for rising local emerging brands and DTC influencer brands in ASEAN, escaping pure price competition.
Secure global orders: Book booths in dedicated exhibition zones to obtain first-hand B2B international orders from European and American brand procurement offices in Vietnam, and large traders across ASEAN and South Asia.
Invitation to Overseas Buyers: One-stop Upgrade for Your Global Supply Chain
Source cost-effective, technologically advanced suppliers meeting international compliance standards in the shortest possible time. The organizer has prepared exclusive highlights for overseas professional buyers, multinational manufacturers and brand procurement directors.
Three Core Highlights for Visitors
AI-powered intelligent manufacturing: On-site live demonstrations of cutting-edge AI intelligent cutting, automated sewing systems, robotic knitting and intelligent footwear machinery, helping factories slash labor costs significantly.
ESG and eco-friendly materials: Centralized showcase of sustainable fabrics, recycled yarns and green footwear materials certified by GRS, OEKO-TEX and other international standards, fully meeting strict carbon reduction and labor audit requirements of European and American markets.
Precision B2B Matchmaking: An AI-powered supply-demand matching system will be launched before the show to arrange customized one-on-one exclusive procurement meetings during the exhibition.
