As Vietnam’s textile industry continues to upgrade and scale, new opportunities are emerging for suppliers of advanced raw materials, design-led fabrics, production technologies, and sustainability solutions. The Vietnam International Trade Fair for Apparel, Textiles and Textile Technologies (VIATT) will return 24 – 26 February 2027, presenting a cross-sector platform – spanning apparel, home and technical categories – for overseas companies to connect with manufacturers, brands, sourcing offices, retailers, and industry buyers from Vietnam, ASEAN, and beyond.

Vietnam’s textile and garment sector is moving beyond its traditional focus on cut-make-trim (CMT), with more manufacturers developing higher value-added production capabilities including OEM and ODM.

These shifts are creating demand for overseas products, technologies and expertise across the textile value chain, from fashionable fabrics and functional materials to garment machinery and finishing technologies. Reflecting this market evolution, VIATT 2027 will spotlight opportunities across three major product sectors: Apparel Fabrics & Fashion, Home & Contract Textiles, and Technical Textiles & Technologies.

Apparel Fabrics & Fashion: supporting Vietnam’s emerging style status

Vietnam’s fashion landscape is gaining international visibility, supported by local craftsmanship, rapid social media marketing, and celebrity endorsements. This growing profile is strengthening demand for quality, fashionable, and performance-led fabrics.

VIATT 2027’s Apparel Fabrics & Fashion zone will feature fashion fabrics, fibres, yarns, accessories, prints, trims, functional materials, and garment manufacturing solutions, with product opportunities ranging from performance textiles to high-end shirting and suiting.

Home & Contract Textiles: harnessing local urbanisation and hospitality growth

The Vietnam home textile market size stood at around USD 747 million in 2025, and is forecast to expand to over USD 970 million by 2030 underscoring sustained growth momentum across both residential and commercial demand segments. The fair’s dedicated Home & Contract Textiles zone will bring together suppliers and buyers from the retail, interiors, property, and hospitality sectors. Key product categories include bedding, towels, upholstery fabrics, curtains, wallcoverings, decorative fabrics, bed and bath linens, and durable interior textiles for residential and commercial projects.

Technical Textiles & Technologies: meeting upgrade and performance needs

As Vietnam’s textile and garment industry moves into higher value-added production, demand is also growing for technical textiles, functional fabrics, machinery, finishing technologies, and advanced production solutions. Manufacturers remain focused on improving output and compliance with international sourcing requirements.

VIATT 2027’s Technical Textiles & Technologies zone is set to provide a platform for products and machinery spanning the entire technical and industrial spectrum.

International showcases, sustainability, and buyer engagement

Reflecting VIATT’s international buyer reach, the 2026 edition welcomed over 17,000 visits from 54 represented markets, with the top 10 visitor countries and regions including China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Korea, Myanmar, Taiwan, Thailand, the US, and Vietnam. Complementing this international visitor profile, exhibitor participation will be further strengthened through dedicated country and region pavilions, including the returning China, Germany, India, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand Pavilions.

The Vietnam International Trade Fair for Apparel, Textiles and Textile Technologies (VIATT) is organised by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd and the Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency (VIETRADE).
