The Exhibition Value of the Vietnam International Textile Show
- VIATT is the only comprehensive, specialized trade show in ASEAN that covers the entire textile value chain. Co-organized by Messe Frankfurt and the Trade Promotion Agency under Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade, it has been successfully held twice since its inception in 2024 and is widely recognized in the industry as a core driver for upgrading Vietnam’s textile sector and a strategic gateway for global companies seeking to tap into the ASEAN market. The exhibition seamlessly integrates three major segments—apparel fabrics, home textiles, and industrial textiles—and, leveraging Vietnam’s position as the world’s second-largest textile exporter and a key hub within the ASEAN supply chain, has become a central platform for connecting global textile‑industry resources, showcasing cutting-edge technological advancements, and advancing sustainable transformation.
- The core value of participation lies in its unique ability to serve as a precision‑driven platform linking Vietnam and the rapidly growing ASEAN markets, while concentrating an exceptionally high density of international buyers. Vietnam’s textile and apparel industry accounts for 12%–16% of the country’s total export value, with exports projected to reach US$48 billion by 2025, supported by 17 active next‑generation free trade agreements, including CPTPP and EVFTA. At its second edition in 2025, the show attracted 463 exhibitors from 24 countries and regions, drawing over 19,000 visitors from more than 70 nations and territories—an increase of over 10% compared to the inaugural event. The exhibition brought together VIP buyer delegations from leading international brands such as adidas, Nike, IKEA, ZARA, MUJI, and Lululemon, providing participating companies with a strategic opportunity to engage directly with global purchasing decision‑makers.
- The show has established a one‑stop commercial platform covering the entire textile value chain. Exhibits span the full spectrum, including apparel fabrics and ready‑to‑wear collections, home and commercial textiles, industrial textiles and nonwovens, textile processing and dyeing technologies, yarns and fibers, textile chemicals, and testing and certification services. For 2026, the exhibition will expand to 18,000 square meters, a 20% increase over 2025, and will feature dedicated pavilions representing Germany, Europe, India, Japan, Taiwan, and other national and regional clusters.
- The exhibition aligns closely with three major industry trends—sustainable transformation, digital innovation, and industrial upgrading—creating a robust ecosystem for deep integration among industry, academia, research, and end‑users. At the 2025 edition, a dedicated Sustainability Hub was introduced, bringing together top global certification bodies such as Cradle to Cradle, GOTS, OEKO‑TEX, and Hohenstein. An Innovation and Digital Solutions Zone showcased cutting‑edge developments, including AiDLab’s WiseEye smart fabric inspection technology, 3D printing solutions, and AI‑powered design‑simulation systems. Concurrent events included a Sustainability Forum, a Textile Industry Exchange Conference, and the inaugural Vietnam Investment Capital Summit (VCICS), all focusing on critical topics such as EU regulations, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, and supply‑chain resilience.
- For Chinese enterprises, this exhibition serves as a strategic gateway to the ASEAN market, a bridge to global resources, and a stage to showcase innovative capabilities. At the 2026 edition, Chinese exhibitors demonstrated strong engagement, with the Shaoxing Municipal Bureau of Commerce organizing a delegation of 101 high‑quality textile companies. On‑site intent-to‑transact values exceeded US$30 million. Participating firms ranged from industry leaders such as Tenglong Textile, Jiangyin Jiaxiang Trading, and Shanghai Donglong Home Textiles, offering products spanning functional fabrics, fashion‑forward printed textiles, premium home textiles, and industrial‑grade textiles. Through this platform, exhibitors can connect with key ASEAN procurement networks and seize early opportunities as Vietnam’s textile industry transitions toward higher value‑added, green, and digitally driven operations.
