VIATT 2026 Expands Scope with New Halls & Trend Zones

The Vietnam International Trade Fair for Apparel, Textiles and Textile Technologies (VIATT) returns from 26 to 28 February 2026 at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City, with a 20% expansion in show floor space. VIATT 2026 will occupy 18,000 sqm across Halls A and B, introducing new zones for fashion accessories, textile chemicals and dyes, and finished apparel—positioning itself as Southeast Asia’s leading textile sourcing event.

Organised by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd and VIETRADE, the show builds on the previous edition’s 13% exhibitor growth, 30% rise in international buyers, and a strengthened focus on value-led, sustainable manufacturing.

Notable highlights at VIATT 2026 include:

  • Econogy Hub – spotlighting sustainable materials, low-impact dyes, and eco-certifications aligned with Vietnam’s 2050 closed-loop textile economy goal.
  • Innovation & Digital Solution Zone – showcasing AI-driven design, smart production, and automation.
  • Fashion Label Zone & Fashion Accessories Zone – catering to growing interest from boutique designers and global brands.
  • Home & Contract Textiles – responding to a booming $3B+ Vietnamese home textile market.
  • Textile Chemicals & Dyes Zone – covering solutions for recycling, fibre treatment, and functional finishes.

Buyers at VIATT 2025 included major global players like Nike, Zara, IKEA, Decathlon, M&S, Target, Lululemon, Club Monaco, and Muji. The 2026 edition aims to further facilitate partnerships across the apparel, home, and technical textile sectors, especially as Vietnam positions itself as a vertically integrated, innovation-driven textile hub.
