2026 Vietnam VTG, VFM, VITATEX, DYECHEM International Four-in-One Expo | Warmly Invited to SECC

Dear Industry Colleagues and Partners:

The global fashion and footwear supply chain is accelerating its transformation, and Southeast Asian manufacturing has reached a critical inflection point for quality upgrading. Here, we sincerely invite you to join global industry leaders at this grand event and seize new overseas business opportunities!

The 'Four-Exhibition Linkage' industry event, co-hosted by the renowned exhibition organizer Chan Chao International and official agencies including the Vietnam Ministry of Industry and Trade, will be held from October 14 to 17, 2026, at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Notably, this edition of the exhibition has specially invited the organizer of GISMA GUANGZHOU 2027 (Guangzhou International Shoe Machinery and Shoe Materials Industrial Exhibition), the Guangdong Shoe Machinery Association, to join as a co-organizer. The Guangdong Shoe Machinery Association will personally lead its core member enterprises and key exhibitors of GISMA GUANGZHOU 2027 to make a grand appearance, bringing cutting-edge shoe manufacturing technologies and supply chain solutions from South China and even the world, deeply connecting with Vietnam's local manufacturing needs.

As a benchmark exhibition deeply rooted in the ASEAN market, this grand event fully integrates the 24th Vietnam International Textile & Garment Industry Exhibition (VTG 2026) along with three major specialized sub-exhibitions: VFM, VITATEX, and DYECHEM. It breaks down barriers to build a comprehensive ecosystem covering the entire industrial chain of textiles, machinery, fabrics & accessories, dyes & chemicals, and footwear. We sincerely invite you to visit the venue to obtain one-stop digital green transformation solutions and jointly explore the boundless opportunities in the ASEAN and global markets.

Insight into Trends: The 'Past, Present, and Future' of Apparel Manufacturing Behind the Exhibition

Relying on the forward-looking vision of official institutions and the industrial insights of the Guangdong Shoe Machinery Association, this 'Four-Exhibition Linkage' is not only a business matching event but also an invitation for you to jointly gain insights into the underlying evolution of the global apparel and dyeing & chemical industry chain:

Past: Extensive dividends and simple cross-border transfer

1) Development Status: Over the past decade or more, Vietnam and Southeast Asia, leveraging their large young labor force, low production costs, and tariff dividends from free trade agreements (such as EVFTA, CPTPP), have undertaken a large amount of low-to-medium-end traditional manufacturing capacity.

2) Industry Pain Points: The characteristic of that period was 'acclimatization issues' and 'supply chain disruption risks'. Vietnam's local fabrics, accessories, and dyes were heavily dependent on imports, resulting in a fragile industrial chain structure with 'both ends outside'. Meanwhile, traditional equipment relied heavily on manual labor, and the traditional printing and dyeing processes, which consume large amounts of water and produce high pollution, faced enormous environmental and survival pressures.

Present: Transformation during the painful period and 'qualitative' involution

1) Development Status: Currently, the global consumer market is sluggish, with 'small orders, fast turnaround' and 'flexible customization' becoming high-standard requirements. The fading demographic dividend is forcing factories to undergo automation and clean production transformations.

2) Core Trend: 'Localization of the Industrial Chain' and 'Smart Manufacturing Replacing Manual Labor'. Current Vietnamese factories are frantically purchasing high-speed intelligent knitting machines, AI vision cutting machines, and other digital equipment, striving to achieve higher output in smaller factory spaces. At the same time, brand owners' requirements for 'origin traceability' have driven demand for local high-quality fabrics, accessories, and green dyeing and finishing auxiliaries to an all-time high. The group participation of the Guangdong Shoe Machinery Association and GISMA core exhibitors precisely meets the urgent demand of Vietnamese factories for high-precision and advanced shoe machinery equipment.

Future: ESG Green Barriers and Zero-Carbon Factories Led by 'Supercritical Technology'

1) Development Status: Looking ahead to the coming years, the industry will fully enter an era of hard constraints where 'no green, no orders'. Compliance policies such as the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) will be fully implemented. Environmental indicators are no longer a choice but a matter of survival.

1) Full-Chain Zero-Carbonization and Disruptive Technology Implementation: Future dyeing, finishing, and shoe material manufacturing will completely evolve towards supercritical fluid technology. Supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO₂) waterless dyeing technology achieves 'zero water consumption, zero wastewater discharge, and no need for auxiliaries'; supercritical physical foaming technology produces 'zero chemical residue, ultra-lightweight, high resilience' green shoe materials.

2) Textile 5.0 / Shoe 5.0 Intelligent Ecosystem: Textile and shoemaking machinery will no longer be isolated machines but 'lights-out factories' connected through 5G, big data, and digital twin technology. From 3D design, intelligent layout to automated shipping, end-to-end unmanned and low-carbon production will be realized.

In-Depth Analysis of Core Exhibition Content

1) Exhibition Positioning: A flagship platform for textile machinery and intelligent manufacturing technology, deeply rooted in Southeast Asia for nearly 20 years.
