Power the Next Stage of Textile and Garment Growth

According to Vietnam’s National Statistics Office, the country’s textile and garment exports reached US$26.9 billion in the first eight months of 2026, up 1.6% year on year. As the market continues to grow, manufacturers are seeking to strengthen competitiveness and meet rising demands for quality, speed, and flexibility, making investment in automated, efficient, high-precision machinery increasingly important.

Among the exhibitors presenting textile and garment machinery at VTG 2026, ROSHOW, CBL, and EMBPRIN will showcase advanced computerized embroidery machines, while BROTHER, PEGASUS, KANSAI, HASHIMA, and JUITA will introduce high-performance sewing machinery designed for a wide range of fabrics. EPSON, SANSIN, DTF, INFINITE CREATION, THN VIET NAM, and GOLDEN LIGHT will also present digital textile printing equipment for diverse production applications.

Meanwhile, green transition and product differentiation are playing a greater role in Vietnam’s shift toward higher-value-added manufacturing. Reflecting this trend, functional and natural-fiber fabrics are attracting growing interest. JAY JAY, REGEN-TECH, REO ECO, and TUNGTEX will showcase innovative and traceable fabric solutions at the exhibition.

Beyond machinery and fabrics, VTG 2026 will cover solutions across other key stages of textile production. PERKA will present advanced testing equipment, HUNTSMAN will introduce advanced chemicals for efficient dyeing and consistent production, and VAN NANG BANOK will showcase textile accessories for garment tagging and identification solutions. This range gives buyers access to machinery, fabrics, chemicals, testing systems, and production support solutions within the same sourcing visit.

Vietnam Reaches a New Milestone in Footwear Exports

Vietnam’s footwear industry reached a new milestone in the first half of 2026, overtaking China as the largest supplier to the US market for the first time. Export revenue totaled US$11.95 billion during the six months, edging up 0.5% year-on-year. This stronger market position is placing greater emphasis on production capacity, process control, and manufacturing technology.

VFM 2026 will cover equipment for each stage of footwear production, from material preparation and shaping to bonding and final inspection. TAIWEI MACHINERY, GUANGSU, JINGNENG, and NIPPY KIKAI specialize in splitting and skiving machinery; CHUANLI, TENGYULONG, SINCERE, and FULIDE focus on shaping, roughing, and bonding equipment; and ERLANGSHEN and TIANHONG provide inspection solutions for quality control. As Vietnam solidifies its position as a global footwear powerhouse, these advanced manufacturing solutions will be instrumental in helping producers sustain their competitive edge and meet stringent international standards.
