    Intelligence

    Market context

    Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.

    Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam — the core of Southeast Asia's garment, textile and footwear sourcing cluster (extending into Binh Duong and Dong Nai provinces)

    Why it matters

    Vietnam is one of the world's top three textile and garment exporters and the leading Asia 'China+1' alternative for US, EU and Japanese apparel buyers, with fabric, garment and trim production concentrated around Ho Chi Minh City. A December show sits inside the sourcing calendar for 2027 spring/summer range development, letting brands meet Vietnamese and regional mills, negotiate MOQs and lock lead times before peak production slots fill. For exhibitors, HCMC offers direct access to Vietnamese garment manufacturers, trading houses and the international buying offices already based in the city.

    Industry trends

    Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.

    01

    Supply-chain diversification (China+1)

    02

    Traceability, ESG and compliance

    03

    Localisation of fabric and yarn supply

    04

    Smaller MOQs and speed-to-market

    Regional competition and pricing pressure

    Asia textile & apparel sourcing circuit around Ho Chi Minh City

    Vietnam hosts several established apparel and textile trade events, and the wider Asia circuit covers fabric, garment and machinery sourcing across China, India and Bangladesh — useful alternatives or complements to the December Asia Fashion (Vietnam) Show.

    Official visa page

    Weather

    December falls in Ho Chi Minh City's dry season: expect warm, humid days around 31–32 °C and nights near 22–23 °C, with the year's lowest rainfall — normally just a few brief showers rather than sustained rain. Light breathable fabrics, a compact umbrella and air-conditioned venue layers work well.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    Confirm mobile roaming or local SIM options for business visitors to Vietnam.

    Ride-hailing

    Taxis

    Public transit

    Car rentals

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Tipping

    Tipping is not mandatory but is appreciated: around VND 20,000–50,000 for porters and hotel staff, and 5–10% at restaurants, where a service charge may already be added to the bill.

    Greetings and business etiquette

    Handshakes are common in business settings; exchange business cards with both hands and take a moment to read them. Punctuality is expected for meetings, and building rapport before hard negotiation is normal.

    Dress and places of worship

    Smart-casual business dress suits the show floor and most restaurants; if visiting temples such as the Jade Emperor Pagoda, cover shoulders and knees, remove shoes before entering and avoid pointing feet at shrines.

    Plan your trip

    Planning

    Best day to visit: 6 December 2026 (show day 2)

    Day 2 of a three-day sourcing show gives full exhibitor staffing with far less opening-morning registration congestion than 5 December, and most supplier teams still hold full sample ranges before the final-day wind-down on 7 December. Programme sessions and pre-booked buyer meetings are typically concentrated mid-show, making 6 December the most efficient single day for both floor sourcing and seminar attendance. If you can only attend the first day, arrive by 08:45 on 5 December to cover priority booths before the aisles fill.

    14

    Confirm Vietnam entry requirements for your nationality — Check whether you need a Vietnam e-visa or are visa-exempt, and apply via the official Vietnam immigration portal with enough processing time before the Dec 5-7, 2026 show.

    13

    Book return flights to Ho Chi Minh City — Target arrival into Ho Chi Minh City by Dec 4, 2026 so you can collect your badge and settle in before the Asia Fashion (Vietnam) Show opens.

    12

    Reserve a hotel near Sky Expo Vietnam — Book a room for Dec 4-7, 2026 within a short drive of the Sky Expo Vietnam International Exhibition & Convention Center to limit daily travel.

    10

    Complete online visitor registration and badge request — Register through the official event site at af-show.com and save the confirmation email or QR code for on-site badge collection.

    9

    6
