VIATT 2025: multifaceted fair poised to aid rejuvenation of Vietnam's textile industry

Ho Chi Minh City, 28 June 2024. After navigating the challenges of 2023, Vietnam's textile and 
garment exports have been gradually recovering. Additionally, foreign direct investment (FDI) into 
Vietnam during the first five months of this year reached USD 11 billion, a 2% year-on-year 
increase, according to the Foreign Investment Agency under the Ministry of Planning and Investment 
(MPI)1. To cater to Vietnam’s renewed business opportunities, the Vietnam International Trade Fair 
for Apparel, Textiles and Textile Technologies (VIATT) will return from 26 – 28 February 2025 at 
the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC).

“The invaluable feedback from the first edition of VIATT has driven us to make next year’s fair 
even stronger, and look forward to its increasing importance in our global textile framework," said 
Ms Wilmet Shea, General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd. "With Vietnam's business environment 
on the upswing, we are excited about VIATT 2025’s potential to serve as an effective, on-trend 
platform for harnessing and supplementing the renewed growth of the country's textile industry, 
across multiple sub-sectors."

The fair’s inaugural edition attracted 409 exhibitors and 17,262 visits from 17 and 55 countries 
and regions respectively. Building on this solid foundation, VIATT 2025 will continue to showcase 
the latest industry trends, and expand its focus on various pertinent areas. This will include the 
fair’s new Econogy Hub, a dedicated zone to advance the topic of sustainability in the textile 
industry, and to relate it closely to the demands of economic and social change. Together with the 
evolving environmental landscape, the fair will also help industry players adapt to the rapid 
adoption of new technology in the business world with the debut of the Innovation & Digital 
Solutions Zone. This zone will allow exhibitors to unveil the latest technology and solutions such 
as AI design, digital manufacturing, big data analytics, and more.

Concurrently, VIATT 2025 will continue to present a diverse range of exhibitors across the apparel, 
home textile and technical textile sectors, with positive feedback received from many quarters at 
the fair’s inaugural edition.

Apparel Fabrics & Fashion
In the first four months of 2024, textile and garment exports grew 6.3% year-on-year to over USD 10 
billion2. The US remains Vietnam’s top export market, followed by the EU, South Korea, China, and 
Japan. To meet this demand, Vietnam's textile industry continues to import a significant amount of 
raw materials. At VIATT 2024, yarns, fibres and fabrics for casualwear, sportswear and uniforms, as well as garment accessories, were in high demand.

Speaking at the previous edition, Ms Surina Gan, Director / Chief Marketing Officer at CDX Textile, 
said: “In addition to trade pacts, Vietnam has also established itself with significant support 
networks for the textile and garment industry. This fair is a more international platform, and this 
is what we look forward to. We want to meet many customers and brands from all over the world such 
as our main markets, America and Europe, and new markets such as Japan, Korea, and Taiwan.”

At the upcoming edition, apparel textile exhibitors can showcase beyond their booths by 
participating in the fringe programme's fashion shows, seminars and more.

Home & Contract Textiles
Vietnam’s home textile market is projected to undergo a steady CAGR of 2.4% from 2024
– 20323, driven by the rising need for modern and stylish home textiles, e-commerce expansion, and 
favourable government initiatives. At the fair’s previous edition, product groups included bedding, 
loungewear and bathroom textiles, curtains and curtain fabrics, upholstery and sofa fabrics, and 
home textile accessories.

Showcasing Japanese tatami mats at VIATT 2024, Mr Ryosuke Nishida, from the Business Promotion 
Department at Kitsutaka Co Ltd, said: “At VIATT, we’ve had the opportunity to meet with real estate 
companies, design offices, and interior stores. Our ultimate goal is to sell our products all over 
the world, and our plan is to first establish a strong presence in Vietnam and then consider local 
production to offer a more affordable price.”

At VIATT 2025, exhibitors can additionally present their latest offerings in the Home Textiles 
Display Zone or at dedicated product presentations, to maximise their visibility to potential 
buyers.

Technical Textiles & Technologies
Across the textile industry, investors are now focusing on optimising production capacity, 
streamlining supply chains, and enhancing product quality to maintain competitiveness in both 
domestic and international markets. With the new Innovation & Digital Solutions Zone to supplement 
the textile technology category, VIATT 2025 is set to play host to providers of textile and 
nonwoven machinery, CAD/CAM, CMT, and technology for embroidery, knitting, sewing, printing, and 
more. Exhibitors can draw more attention to their latest solutions by participating in the fair's 
new innovation showcase area.

Focusing on promoting the company’s tactile sensation analysing machine at VIATT 2024, Mr Daniel 
Ohndorf, Sales Area Manager at emtec Electronic GmbH, said: “For this show, we are targeting mainly 
Southeast Asia, such as Vietnam, Thailand, Bangladesh, Cambodia, even Taiwan, and we have had some 
good contacts and discussions already. Our long-term contact with Messe Frankfurt, paired with the 
cooperation from our new Vietnam sales partner, led to us deciding that this fair could be a good 
starting point.”

By leveraging the diverse participation at its over 50 textile fairs in 13 countries, Messe 
Frankfurt's Texpertise Network will enable next year’s edition of VIATT to serve as an ideal 
platform for connecting Vietnamese businesses with international players, facilitating
cross-border trade, knowledge sharing and collaboration.
