VIATT 2026: ASEAN's Largest Textile Trade Fair Covering Apparel, Fabrics and Textile Technologies

From February 26 to 28, 2026, the Vietnam International Trade Fair for Apparel, Textiles and Textile Technologies (VIATT 2026) will be held at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City, reaffirming its position as ASEAN's most comprehensive trade platform for the entire textile value chain.

As Vietnam's leading international textile exhibition, VIATT has quickly become a key meeting point for global suppliers, buyers, innovators, and industry leaders. Following the strong performance of its second edition in 2025, VIATT 2026 will further elevate its focus on fashion, innovation, sustainability, and international connectivity, mirroring the evolving dynamics of the global textile industry.

A One-Stop Platform Covering the Full Textile Value Chain

VIATT stands out as the region's most complete textile trade fair, spanning the entire journey from raw materials and fibres to finished products and advanced textile technologies. The exhibition is structured around three core sectors — Apparel Fabrics & Fashion, Home & Contract Textiles, and Technical Textiles & Technologies — providing unmatched sourcing depth and market coverage.

In 2025, the fair welcomed more than 460 exhibitors from 24 countries and regions and recorded over 19,000 visits from buyers across 70+ countries and regions, highlighting its rapidly growing international profile. VIATT 2026 is expected to expand further in scale, participation, and industry influence.
