HCM City (VNA) - The Vietnam International Trade Fair for Apparel, Textiles and Textile Technologies (VIATT) opened at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Centre (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City on February 26.

The annual three-day event is hosting over 400 exhibitors with more than 500 booths, showcasing a wide range of products and solutions covering the entire textile and garment sector. There are pavilions from such countries and territories as India, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Pakistan, Taiwan (China), and Thailand.

A European pavilion will debut for the first time, with prominent exhibitors like Bossa Ticaret Ve Sanayi Isletmeleri TAS (Turkey), Chargeurs PCC Asia Limited (France), Hohmann GmbH & Co. Kg, Homeplus (Germany), Technical Absorbents Ltd (the UK), and Alumo AG (Switzerland).

Notably, the dedicated Vietnam National Brand pavilion continues to serve as a platform for nationally recognised enterprises to showcase their products, seek potential partners, and reinforce their leadership in the industry.

The fair also spotlights future industry trends by introducing an ecology zone, which focuses on sustainable production, and an innovation and digital solution zone for technological advancements in the sector.

In addition to exhibitions, it is treating participants to sideline networking events and fashion shows led by trendsetting designers from around the world.

The development strategy for the local textile, garment, and footwear sector through 2030, with a vision to 2035, identifies exports as the main driver of growth. Vietnam's textile and garment industry fulfilled its 44-billion-USD export turnover target in 2024, an annual increase of over 11%, providing a solid foundation for this year’s ambitious goal of 47-48 billion USD./.
