Over 380 firms join Vietnam Int'l Garment and Textile Industry Exhibition

The VTG 2024 has been taking place in parallel with the Vietnam International Textile and Apparel Accessories Exhibition (VITATEX), the Vietnam International Dyeing & Chemical Industry Exhibition (DYECHEM), and the Vietnam International Footwear Machinery and Material 2024 (VFM).

On display at these expos are a wide range of cutting-edge technological advancements from footwear machinery to computerised sewing machines, as well as eco-friendly dyeing solutions, with the aim of further accelerating transformation in footwear production and helping the Vietnamese textile and garment industry to meet the EU's strict environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards.

A number of seminars will be held during the four-day event, focusing on technological advancement, automation and sustainability in the Vietnamese textile and garment industry, the circular economy, global supply chain integration, and Vietnamese economic prospects for the footwear industry.

According to the Vietnam National Textile and Garment Group (Vinatex), the nation’s textile and garment export turnover during the eight-month period reached US$28.32 billion, up 6.19% against the same period last year.

Along with major export markets like the United States, Europe, Japan, the Republic Korea, and China, there are emerging markets such as ASEAN, Russia, and Canada, opening up bright prospects ahead for local firms to boost exports.
