Empowering the dual transformation of the global footwear and apparel supply chain: VTG & VFM 2026 Vietnam International Textile & Garment and Shoe Machinery & Materials Exhibition officially sets sail!
As the global footwear and apparel supply chain accelerates toward regional diversification, nearshoring, and cross-border network collaboration, the Vietnam, ASEAN, and South Asian markets are undergoing a structural transformation from "world factory" to "consumer market" in a dual shift.
As the most influential bellwether in the global footwear and apparel industry chain, the 2026 Vietnam International Textile & Garment Industry Exhibition (VTG 2026) and the 2026 Vietnam International Shoe Machinery & Materials Exhibition (VFM 2026) will be held jointly at the Saigon Exhibition & Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam on [specific dates to be filled in], ushering in a new era of global smart footwear and apparel manufacturing!
This exhibition centers on three core themes: "AI automated smart manufacturing, ESG green sustainability, and agile quick-response supply chain." The exhibition is expected to cover 30,000 square meters, bringing together 600 top exhibitors from around the world and attracting over 20,000 professional domestic and international buyers.
Why choose Vietnam? Seizing the industrial chain dividends of ASEAN and South Asia
Currently, the footwear and apparel industry maturity and consumer hotspots across ASEAN and South Asian countries are showing a trend of "gradient development":
1) Vietnam (high-end smart manufacturing and mature domestic sales): Vietnam is not only the world's second-largest footwear and apparel export base, but also has 40 million middle-class consumers. Currently, local Vietnamese brands are rapidly gaining market share, and there is a huge rigid demand for "agile supply chains" capable of completing sampling and market launch within two weeks, as well as for high-end raw and auxiliary materials (currently 60%-70% of Vietnam's fabrics and accessories rely on imports).
2) Indonesia (the largest economy in ASEAN): With 85 million middle-class and affluent consumers, it has extremely strong online e-commerce (TikTok, Shopee) consumption momentum, and there is an urgent need for customized, diversified apparel and near-shore fulfillment supply chains.
3) Cambodia/Myanmar/Bangladesh (low-cost processing and export tax havens): They enjoy special tariff preferences for the European and American markets and are the core destinations for the downward shift of labor-intensive cutting and sewing production capacity.
Invitation to domestic partners: To Chinese merchants—from "traditional OEM" to "transnational network collaboration"
Chinese footwear and apparel factories are currently facing dual pressures from domestic market involution and foreign trade transformation. VTG & VFM 2026 will open up a cross-border growth path for you: "Chinese upstream raw materials/advanced equipment + localized smart manufacturing + localized consumer brands."
Three core values of participation:
- Directly targeting bulk rigid demand: On-site matchmaking with cross-border OEM giants from Vietnam, Indonesia, Bangladesh and other countries in urgent need of high-end fabrics and accessories, printing and dyeing, shoe materials, shoe machinery and other mid-to-upstream segments.
- Embracing agile fast fashion: Providing flexible manufacturing services of "small batches, multiple runs, delivery within two weeks" for rapidly emerging local new brands and DTC influencer brands in ASEAN, breaking free from pure price competition.
- Capturing global orders: Set up in a special exhibition zone to directly obtain first-hand international B2B orders on-site from European and American brands' Vietnam sourcing offices, as well as major traders from ASEAN and South Asia.
Invitation to overseas buyers: Upgrade your global supply chain in one stop
Find the most cost-effective, technologically advanced, and internationally compliant suppliers in the shortest possible time. The organizer has specially prepared the following key highlights for overseas professional buyers, cross-border OEM factories, and brand sourcing directors:
Three core highlights of the exhibition:
- AI and smart-driven manufacturing: Live on-site demonstrations of the latest AI intelligent cutting, automated sewing systems, robotic knitting, and smart shoe machinery to help factories significantly reduce labor costs.
- ESG and green eco-friendly materials: Centralized display of sustainable fabrics, recycled yarns, and eco-friendly shoe materials certified by GRS, OEKO-TEX, and other international standards, perfectly addressing the stringent carbon reduction and labor audit requirements of European and American markets.
- Precise Business Matching (B2B Matchmaking): An AI supply-demand matching system will be launched before the exhibition to arrange personalized "1-on-1 exclusive procurement meetings" for you at the venue.
