Why visit
Vietnam Expo HCMC 2026 gathers exhibitor profiles across household goods, food and beverage, health, textiles and accessories, home and garden, and industrial-construction categories at Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center, 3-5 December 2026. Buyers sourcing for Vietnam's consumer and light-industrial channels can walk dedicated category zones - from household electrical appliances and consumer goods to biomedical items and textile accessories - and meet Chinese and Vietnamese suppliers whose company pages are published on the organiser's exhibitor list. Travelling to District 7 is straightforward via Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) and city taxi or ride-hailing transfers, making a focused two-day sourcing visit practical.
Why exhibit
Exhibitor listings on hcm.vietnamexpo.com.vn span household goods, food and beverage, health, textiles and accessories, home and garden, and industrial-construction producers, showing the categories Vietnam Expo HCMC 2026 actively recruits. Suppliers of consumer appliances, textiles, packaged food, biomedical products and light-industrial components can position alongside these published exhibitors and reach Vietnamese importers, distributors and retailers in one three-day window. The organiser provides an exhibitor list, e-catalogue and brochure download for pre-show buyer promotion ahead of the 3-5 December 2026 dates.
