The VTG 2026 features 400 global brands and gathers 610 booths across an area of 15,000 square meters. Participating exhibitors represent 11 countries and territories, including Bangladesh, Bulgaria, China, Hong Kong (China), India, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan (China), Thailand, and Vietnam. Taking place from October 14 to 17, 2026, the exhibition aims to create opportunities for manufacturers and buyers to meet, explore new technologies, discover solutions, and expand business cooperation.

The concurrent exhibition series alongside VTG 2026 includes VFM 2026 (Vietnam International Footwear & Leather Industry Exhibition - Machinery & Materials), VITATEX 2026 (The 24th Vietnam International Textile & Accessories Exhibition), and DYECHEM 2026 (Vietnam International Dyeing & Chemical Industry Exhibition). Together, this combination of four exhibitions will cover the entire production chain—from weaving and dyeing to garment and footwear manufacturing—while showcasing automated machinery, functional fabrics, eco-friendly chemicals, innovative accessories, digital solutions, and many other products.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Pham Xuan Hong, Chairman of HCMC Textile & Garment – Fashion Association (AGTEK) said: “In 2026, the textile & garment industry has strived to access global markets and maintain production capacity. VTG 2026 is essential for market access, supply & deman connectivity. Vietnam possesses distinct advantagessuch as social stability, skilled workforce and significant efforts of local enterprises to upgrade their equipment, technology, and management practices. Currently, Vietnamese textile and garment enterprises are less focused on immediate profits; instead, they are prioritizing securing orders, creating jobs, and ensuring stable incomes for their workers”.

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.

Many exhibitors at VTG 2026 also present digital textile printing equipment for diverse production applications, high-performance sewing machinery designed for a wide range of fabrics. 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.

More than an exhibition, VTG 2026 also teams up with top industry associations - including the Vietnam Waste Recycling Association (VWRA), the Association of Garment-Textile-Embroidery-Knitting in HCM City (AGTEK), the Leather, Footwear and Handbag Association of Ho Chi Minh City (SLA), and the Vietnam Cotton & Spinning Association (VCOSA) to host a powerful 3-day seminar series. These sessions will share practical, must-know strategies to help textile, garment, and footwear manufacturers build a smarter, greener, and world-class supply chain.

As global markets shift faster than ever, staying competitive requires more than just keeping up; it demands bold action, smart innovation, and strong partnerships. VTG 2026 provides the ultimate platform for industry professionals to connect with key players, discover breakthrough solutions, and gain the expert insights needed to future-proof their business. Whether you are looking to optimize operations, embrace sustainability, or expand your global reach, this is the one event you cannot afford to miss.
