Vietnam’s textile sector is set to commemorate a noteworthy accomplishment in 2024: it is anticipated to have surpassed Bangladesh as the world’s second-largest exporter of clothing, after China, at the start of the new year[1]. These two textile giants are poised to open up new doors at the Vietnam International Trade Fair for Apparel, Textiles, and Textile Technologies (VIATT), which will take place from February 26 to 28, 2025, with a strong lineup of Chinese exhibitors showcasing to the Vietnamese market and sustainability at the top of the list of priorities.

Chinese manufacturers are increasingly seeking strategic investment opportunities in Vietnam, a key beneficiary of the China Plus One strategy[2]. In October 2024, the two countries signed 10 agreements[3] to enhance cooperation, ranging from an action plan for mutual recognition between customs agencies to cross-border QR code payments. To take advantage of the expanding market, in addition to other international exhibitors VIATT will welcome leading Chinese suppliers from the entire textile value chain. Highlighted exhibitors include:

Given that manufacturers throughout the whole textile value chain place a high priority on sustainability, the show’s first Eco-Hub will act as a special area for eco-fabrics suppliers and certifications providers, linking Chinese, Vietnamese, and other global industry participants to a variety of traceable solutions.

This zone is set to feature 12 global exhibitors, including well-known testers and certifiers Cradle to Cradle Innovation Institute (Netherlands)Global Organic Textile Standard (Germany)Hohenstein (Germany)IDFL Laboratory and Institute (USA), and The Woolmark Company Pty Ltd (Australia).
