29 Jul 22 2 min read

Members of Vietnam’s textile and apparel industry will be gathering in Ho Chi Minh City at the 8th Vietnam Textile Summit 2022 from September 22-23, 2022. The summit will highlight the latest policy developments in Vietnam’s textile and apparel industry, sourcing strategy, supply chain, digital transformation, labour shortage, sustainability, and much more.

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.
