ABOUT THE FAIR
The SaigonTex, officially known as the "Vietnam Saigon Textile & Garment Industry Expo", is an annual trade fair held in Ho Chi Minh City. It is organized by CP Exhibition Hong Kong and takes place at the prestigious Saigon Exhibition & Convention Center (SECC). The SECC stands out for its modern infrastructure and its central location in Ho Chi Minh City. It is easily accessible and provides an ideal platform for international exhibitions and conferences.
The industry creates jobs for millions in Vietnam. Many of these jobs are found in the numerous production facilities, which range from small-scale businesses to large industrial complexes. Due to the competitive labor costs and favorable production conditions in Vietnam, many foreign companies have invested in this sector. This has led to technology transfer, knowledge exchange, and enhancements in production capacity. The textile and garment industry represents one of Vietnam's largest export sectors. The country is among the top textile exporters globally, with a significant portion of exports going to countries such as the USA, the EU, Japan, and South Korea. Over the years, Vietnam has endeavored to elevate the value of its textile and garment production, not only through manufacturing basic clothing items but also by investing in more advanced and valuable products like functional and technical textiles. At the same time, the industry faces the challenge of adopting more sustainable and socially responsible practices to remain competitive and future-proof in the long run.
SaigonTex is among the leading events for the textile and garment industry in Vietnam. It showcases a broad range of products and services, with an emphasis on machinery, spare parts, technologies, dyes, and chemicals used in the textile and garment industry. Every year, it attracts numerous national and international exhibitors showcasing their latest innovations and products.
Another highlight of the expo is the diverse lectures, workshops, and seminars offered by industry experts and thought leaders. These provide attendees the opportunity to learn about the latest trends, technologies, and challenges in the industry and network with other professionals.
The organizer, CP Exhibition Ltd. based in Hong Kong, is renowned for its experience and expertise in organizing international trade fairs and events. CP Exhibition Ltd. holds several similar events annually, including some in Hanoi.
In summary, SaigonTex is not just a platform for product and service exchange, but also a meeting place for industry experts, manufacturers, and suppliers to strengthen business relations, stay updated on current developments, and collaboratively shape the future of the textile and garment industry in Vietnam and beyond.
The SaigonTex takes place annually, and therefore for the 36th time previsibly in April 2027 in Ho Chi Minh City.
