Vietnam Summit to focus on future of textile & apparel industry

The two-day conference will include a keynote speech, panel discussion, and other networking activities and will be open to both onsite and virtual participants worldwide, according to the event’s organiser ECV International. Despite the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, Vietnam’s textile and garment industry has recorded an export turnover of $8.84 billion in the first quarter of 2022, which is a 22.5 per cent rise over the same period last year. The country’s manufacturers and their partners are exploring various opportunities in the global textile and garment market. Vietnam’s textile exports to major export markets such as the United States, Europe, and Japan have shown positive growth.

At the same time, many raw materials used in the textile industry are still imported. Other challenges include the labour shortage resulting from the pandemic, post-COVID recovery, climate change, and the volatile trade market. The summit aims to offer valuable insights on the future prospects of Vietnam’s textile and apparel industry to attendees.
