2026 VFM & VTG dual exhibitions grand opening | Joining forces across the ASEAN textile, footwear, and apparel industry chain, embracing new opportunities for industrial upgrading gismaexpo....
The global textile, apparel, footwear and supply chain is accelerating its restructuring, and Southeast Asia has become the core highland for international industrial transfer, intelligent manufacturing upgrades, and growth in foreign trade orders. As an extremely influential industry benchmark event in Southeast Asia, the 24th Vietnam International Textile and Garment Exhibition VTG 2026 and the Vietnam International Footwear Machinery and Materials Exhibition VFM 2026 will be held concurrently in the same hall at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, from October 14-17, 2026. With the dual exhibitions working in tandem, supplemented by the VITATEX Fabric and Accessories Exhibition and the DYECHEM Dyeing and Chemical Industry Exhibition, four major themed exhibition zones will connect the complete upstream and downstream of textiles, garments, and footwear manufacturing, creating a one-stop platform for display, procurement, exchange, and business matching. We sincerely invite industry peers from around the world to join this grand event.
Rooted in Vietnam, radiating across ASEAN, connecting global trade resources
Leveraging the RCEP policy dividends, a well-established industrial cluster, and free trade agreement advantages, Vietnam has attracted a continuous influx of orders from Europe and the United States. Local textile, garment, and footwear factories are experiencing strong demand for large-scale equipment upgrades, production line renovations, and new material iterations, radiating to manufacturing bases across ASEAN countries including Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Bangladesh.
This edition of VTG+VFM is held in Ho Chi Minh City, adjacent to core industrial parks such as Binh Duong and Dong Nai, covering over 70% of Vietnam's large and medium-sized textile and footwear factories. The exhibition period coincides with the golden procurement window when factories are preparing for European and American Christmas orders, gathering high-quality professional visitors such as factory directors, technical managers, procurement directors, and foreign trade traders. This creates efficient networking opportunities for domestic and international exhibitors to directly engage with end-factory decision-makers, helping enterprises deepen their presence in ASEAN and expand global market channels.
