Vietnam Ho Chi Minh City Textile and Apparel Industry Exhibition

The SaigonTex Vietnam Textile and Apparel Industry Exhibition is the most influential textile and apparel trade show in ASEAN.It highlights a wide range of technologies, machinery, and accessories for the apparel industry. With the United States expected to impose import tariffs on various Chinese products, including apparel, orders are likely to shift gradually to other Asian countries. Consequently, Vietnam will need to import more fabrics and garment accessories to meet its growing order volume.

The Exhibition Value of SaigonTex, the Ho Chi Minh City Textile and Apparel Show in Vietnam

• Vietnam’s and Southeast Asia’s Largest and Longest‑Running Textile and Apparel Industry Event: Co‑organized by the Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association, the Vietnam National Textile and Garment Group, and the Exhibition Services Company under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, SaigonTex has been held for more than thirty editions since its inception in the 1990s, making it Vietnam’s most influential textile and apparel trade show. The event is accredited by UFI, the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry, and is widely recognized as a leading indicator of the development of Vietnam’s textile and apparel sector, as well as a key gateway for global textile companies seeking to enter the Vietnamese and ASEAN markets.
• A One‑Stop Platform Covering the Entire Industry Chain: The exhibition encompasses the full spectrum of the industry, including fibers and yarns, fabrics and accessories, textile machinery, printing and dyeing equipment, garment manufacturing machinery, CAD/CAM systems, laboratory testing instruments, and more. From raw materials to finished products, and from traditional textile production to smart manufacturing, exhibitors can engage in comprehensive interactions—ranging from technology showcases and brand exposure to business negotiations—within a single venue.
• Precise Access to Core Buyers and Decision‑Makers in Vietnam and Southeast Asia: At the 2025 edition, over 1,000 exhibiting companies from 20 countries and regions will showcase their offerings across more than 35,000 square meters, attracting over 20,000 professional buyers from 30 countries and regions. The audience includes textile and apparel manufacturers, purchasers, distributors, designers, machinery agents, and other stakeholders spanning the entire procurement ecosystem, enabling exhibitors to connect directly with some of the most influential purchasing groups in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.
• Unique Value for Chinese Enterprises: A Strategic Engine for Expanding into the Vietnamese Market: Vietnam’s textile and apparel industry grows at an annual rate of 13%–20%, with export revenues ranking among the highest globally; however, the country remains heavily reliant on imports for raw materials and machinery. China is Vietnam’s largest supplier of both textile raw materials and manufacturing equipment. Moreover, Vietnam has signed numerous free trade agreements, including CPTPP, EVFTA, and UKVFTA, offering tariff preferences for textile and apparel exports. Chinese textile enterprises can leverage SaigonTex as a platform to enter the Vietnamese market and capitalize on strategic opportunities presented by the ongoing upgrading of Vietnam’s textile and apparel value chain.
• A Vanguard for Technological Innovation and Industry Trends: Automation in textile machinery, digital printing technologies, eco‑friendly dyeing processes, and functional fabrics are among the highlights at the show. A dedicated Sustainable Textiles Zone showcases environmentally friendly materials and green production techniques. As Vietnam raises its environmental standards and advances its textile industry toward greater intelligence, sustainability, and sophistication, exhibitors can gain valuable insights into these transformative trends.
• In‑Depth Networking through High‑Level Forums and Industry Resources: Concurrent with the exhibition, industry seminars and technical exchange sessions bring together experts from the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Textile and Apparel Association to share critical information on market policies, industry trends, and technical standards. Exhibiting companies can thus promptly access updates on Vietnam’s textile industry policies, investment climate, and emerging market opportunities.
• The Strategic Location and Industrial Advantages of Ho Chi Minh City: As Vietnam’s economic hub and its largest textile and apparel production base, Ho Chi Minh City boasts robust industrial infrastructure and a highly efficient international logistics network. Held at the Saigon Exhibition & Convention Center (SECC), SaigonTex capitalizes on the city’s pivotal role as the core region of Vietnam’s textile and apparel industry, providing exhibitors with a strategic platform to connect with both the Vietnamese and broader Southeast Asian markets.
