From April 8 to 11, 2026, the Vietnam International Textile & Garment Industry Exposition – Machinery, Materials, Accessories and Fabrics (SaigonTex & SaigonFabric 2026) will officially take place at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC), 755 Nguyen Van Linh, Tan My Ward, Ho Chi Minh City. With its large scale and a clear technology-driven orientation, the event continues to affirm its position as one of the region’s most prestigious specialized exhibitions for the textile and garment industry, recognized by the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (Union des Foires Internationales – UFI)
Impressive scale, gathering the entire industry value chain
SaigonTex & SaigonFabric 2026 is expected to span over 30,000 square meters, bringing together more than 1,000 companies from 22 countries and territories and attracting approximately 32,000 trade visitors, thereby becoming a key global textile and garment industry connection hub in Vietnam. The exhibition will showcase the full textile and garment value chain – from machinery and materials to dyeing solutions, quality control technologies, and fashion products, while also serving as a dynamic business platform that enables enterprises to seek partnerships and capture emerging market trends.
This year’s highlight is the application of AI and automation, featuring solutions for production management, quality control, and supply chain optimization aimed at enhancing productivity and competitiveness. In addition, emerging technologies such as seamless manufacturing, 3D technologies, and smart factory models reflect the industry’s strong momentum toward digital transformation.
At the same time, sustainability continues to be a dominant trend, with a wide range of environmentally friendly materials, recycling solutions, and circular economy. Products that meet ESG standards demonstrate that “going green” has become an essential requirement for textile and garment enterprises seeking deeper integration into global value chains.
A diverse lineup of specialized industry activities
Beyond the exhibition area, SaigonTex & SaigonFabric 2026 will host a wide range of in-depth activities designed to enhance value for participating businesses. A series of seminars, jointly organized by the Vietnam National Textile and Garment Group (VINATEX), the Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association (VITAS), and the Ho Chi Minh City Association of Garment, Textile, Embroidery and Knitting (AGTEX), will focus on technology trends, market developments, and sustainable development strategies in the textile and garment industry.
The Product Presentation Program (PPP) will enable enterprises to directly introduce new solutions such as AI, automation, and green manufacturing. Notably, the Fashion Parade will offer a visual perspective on the convergence of technology, materials, and design through runway showcases of technology-driven collections presented by exhibitors.
In addition, the “Made in Vietnam Hub” area and dedicated spaces for local manufacturers will help showcase the capabilities of Vietnamese enterprises while creating opportunities to connect with international buyers. The VIP Lounge will be arranged as a professional setting for strategic partners to meet and conduct business discussions.
Amid growing pressure on the global textile and garment industry to adopt technological transformation and sustainable development, the exhibition is regarded as an important opportunity for businesses to stay updated on trends, access advanced technologies, and expand partnerships. It also serves as a “trend map,” helping enterprises shape their strategies and enhance competitiveness within the global supply chain.
