Market context

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

Southeast Asia — Ho Chi Minh City (District 7), Vietnam

Why it matters

Vietnam has become one of Asia's leading production and export bases for furniture, home décor, handicrafts and garden/outdoor-living products, and Ho Chi Minh City is the sector's commercial capital. For international buyers, the Vietnam Home & Garden Expo at SECC is a compact way to meet manufacturers and exporters across home, garden, furniture and landscaping categories in one venue, in a city that also hosts Vietnam's established furniture trade fairs. For Vietnamese producers, hosting buyers on home soil replaces long-haul travel to European shows and shortens the sales cycle. The December timing sits at the start of the dry season, making it practical for buyers who want to combine sourcing with factory visits in the south.

Industry trends

Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.

Supply-chain diversification into Vietnam

Urban gardening and outdoor living in ASEAN

Sustainability and timber traceability

Design-led, small-batch and D2C channels

Home, garden and outdoor-living trade show circuit

Q1–Q3 2026 for most circuit shows (typical run windows are January–March for Asian sourcing fairs and June–September for European shows); the December 2026 Vietnam Home & Garden Expo falls at the end of the calendar and works well as a Vietnam-focused add-on.

The Vietnam Home & Garden Expo sits inside a global circuit that pairs Asian sourcing shows with European and North American demand-side events. Most buyers use one or two Asian sourcing shows plus one European show per year to cover suppliers and design direction.

Travel & logistics

Arrival airports

Choose from the following airports, with convenient access to the event and venue.

SGN

Tan Son Nhat International Airport

Primary international gateway for Ho Chi Minh City; international arrivals at Terminal 2, domestic at Terminal 1. Metered taxis, Grab/Xanh SM rideshare and airport bus options all depart from the arrivals kerb. Allow extra time for the 15:30–19:00 rush hour.

Approx. 20–22 km

to venue

40–60 min off-peak; 60–80 min in peak traffic

by car

VCA

Can Tho International Airport

Secondary Mekong Delta gateway with limited domestic and regional connections; only practical if combining the show with a Mekong Delta leg. Most international visitors should route via SGN.

Approx. 170–185 km

to venue

Approx. 3–3.5 h by road (expressway)

by car

Hotel tiers

A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.

Budget

District 7 — Nguyen Van Linh Boulevard / Tan Phu and Tan My wards, 5–15 min from SECC

USD 30–60 / night

Simple rooms with air-conditioning and Wi-Fi; book early because SECC show weeks tighten District 7 supply.

source

Mid-range

Phu My Hung / District 7, 5–15 min from SECC

USD 70–130 / night

Serviced apartments and 4-star hotels within a short drive of the venue; good for buyers staying 3–5 nights with meeting space on site.

source

Premium

District 1 city centre (Dong Khoi / Le Loi / Nguyen Hue), 20–35 min from SECC

USD 150–320 / night

Full-service 5-star options for delegations and VIP hosting; budget 20–35 min each way in traffic, or plan evening meetings in District 1 instead.

source

Local transport

Get around the city with these convenient transport options.

Rideshare (Grab, Be, Xanh SM)

Estimated costVND 200,000–330,000 (approx. USD 8–13) for the airport run; VND 60,000–120,000 (approx. USD 2.50–5) for car trips within District 7

Best forAirport / city hotels → SECC

Widely used in Ho Chi Minh City and typically cheaper than street taxis; book in-app and use the SECC gate number as the drop-off pin. GrabBike/Xanh SM Bike motorbike taxis are faster in peak traffic but unsuitable for luggage.

Public bus

Estimated costVND 6,000–10,000 (approx. USD 0.25–0.40) per bus leg, plus VND 120,000–200,000 (approx. USD 5–8) for the onward car leg

Best forAirport bus route 152 (Tan Son Nhat → Ben Thanh, District 1) then taxi/Grab to District 7

Cheapest option but requires a transfer and is slow with luggage; local buses also link the District 1 backpacker area to Phu My Hung. Check current route numbers locally as services change.

Metro (HCMC Line 1, Ben Thanh–Suoi Tien)

Estimated costVND 7,000–20,000 (approx. USD 0.30–0.80) per trip

Best forCity-centre movement only — Line 1 does not currently serve District 7 / SECC

Useful for moving between District 1 and the eastern districts; combine with a taxi/Grab for the final leg to SECC. Planned lines to District 7 are not yet in service — verify status before relying on rail.

Hotel shuttle / organiser transport

Estimated costTypically complimentary for booked show hotels; otherwise approx. USD 5–15 per person each way

Best forOfficial show hotels ↔ SECC

Vinexad and SECC partner hotels often run scheduled shuttles during show days — confirm with your hotel at booking rather than assuming a service.

taxi

Visa & entry documents

Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.

Visa required

ATA Carnet: check with organiser

ASEAN nationals and citizens of Vietnam's unilateral exemption countries (including Japan, South Korea, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, Russia and the Nordic countries) enter visa-free for limited stays. Lists change with government policy — verify your nationality on the official portal before booking flights.

Vietnam is not currently an ATA Carnet contracting party, so carnets are generally not accepted for exhibition goods. Temporary import–re-export for show exhibits is normally handled through a temporary import declaration lodged with Vietnam Customs, usually by the organiser's appointed freight forwarder or a local customs broker. Confirm the documentation route with Vinexad or your forwarder well before shipping.

Weather

December is Ho Chi Minh City's dry season: expect roughly 22–32 °C (average low about 22 °C, average high 31–32 °C) with high humidity around 70%. Rain is light and infrequent — typically only about 10–25 mm across a handful of days — but brief afternoon showers are still possible, so pack a compact umbrella.

Plan for the climate

Check temperatures and pack accordingly

Venue connectivity

Vietnam has good 4G coverage across Ho Chi Minh City, including District 7 and the SECC area, with 5G rolling out in central districts. Tourist SIMs from Viettel, Vinaphone or Mobifone (roughly VND 200,000–350,000 / USD 8–14 for a 30-day data package) are sold at Tan Son Nhat arrivals and city shops — bring your passport for registration. eSIM plans work well if your handset supports them. SECC halls and most hotels offer free Wi-Fi. Power is 220V at 50 Hz with type A/C/F sockets, so bring a universal adapter.

Ride-hailing

Taxis

Public transit

Car rentals

Cultural notes

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

Greetings and business cards

A light handshake is standard in business settings; a slight bow is also appreciated. Offer and receive business cards with both hands and take a moment to read the card before putting it away — never write on or pocket it immediately. Vietnamese names are usually written family name first, so address counterparts as Mr/Ms plus their family name until invited to do otherwise.

Tipping and payments

Tipping is not obligatory but is welcomed: around 5–10% in restaurants and cafés, small notes for taxis and hotel staff. Cash (VND) is still widely used at markets, small shops and taxis, while hotels, SECC-area restaurants and larger retailers take cards and QR payments. Bargaining is expected in markets but not in shops or for professional services.

Dress, pace and etiquette

Smart-casual business dress works for the show floor — lightweight fabrics suit the December heat and humidity. Remove shoes when entering a private home, dress modestly at temples and pagodas, and avoid touching people on the head or pointing with a single finger. Meetings often start with tea and small talk; building the relationship before pricing discussions is normal and generally speeds up negotiations.

Practical guides

Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials

Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

Flights

Destination: SGN

Compare flights to the nearest international gateway serving Ho Chi Minh City; confirm ground transport on the organiser site.

Visa

Most non-exempt nationalities need a visa for Vietnam. The quickest route is the official Vietnam e-visa (USD 25 single entry / USD 50 multiple entry, typically about 3 working days) — apply 2–3 weeks ahead at evisa.gov.vn. ASEAN nationals and citizens of Vietnam's unilateral exemption countries (e.g. Japan, South Korea, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, Russia, Nordic countries) enter visa-free for limited stays. Visitors whose purpose is paid work or contract signing may need a business (DN) visa sponsored by a Vietnamese entity. Visa on arrival is not a stand-alone option for most travellers and Vietnam does not currently accept ATA Carnets.

Estimated cost: Varies by visa type and nationality (check official site).

Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.

Apply only through the official government portal; third-party sites charge large mark-ups. Carry a printed copy of the approval — immigration may ask for it. Validity up to 90 days with multiple entries; the 90-day stay is per entry under current rules — confirm the latest terms on the official portal before booking.

Plan your trip

Planning

Best day to visit: Friday 4 December 2026 (Day 2 of the show)

The three-day run (Thursday 3 to Saturday 5 December 2026) front-loads trade activity: Day 1 is dominated by registration, opening formalities and exhibitor set-up checks, while Day 3 thins out as stands begin dismantling and weekend footfall shifts toward general visitors. Day 2 (Friday) is the mid-show peak, when senior exhibitor staff are on the floor, hosted-buyer meetings and business-matching sessions are in full swing, and there is still enough time to return on Day 3 to close terms. If you can only attend one day, choose Friday; if sourcing needs two passes, attend Thursday afternoon plus Friday.

Check passport validity and confirm Vietnam visa or e-visa eligibility — Passport should be valid for at least 6 months beyond travel; verify entry requirements for your nationality before booking.

Register online for Vietnam Home & Garden Expo 2026 (December 3-5, 2026) — Complete visitor registration via gardenexpo.com.vn and save the confirmation and badge QR code.

Book flights to Ho Chi Minh City (Tan Son Nhat International Airport, SGN) — Target arrival 1-2 days before December 3 to allow a buffer for international arrival and time-zone adjustment.

Reserve a hotel in Ho Chi Minh City near SECC — Book early for show week; confirm taxi or shuttle options to the Saigon Exhibition & Convention Center.

Arrange airport transfer from SGN to the hotel — Use a metered taxi or ride-hail service; factor in peak-hour traffic between airport and city.

Download the SECC hall plan and expo programme — Note sector zones: Home Living, Garden and Landscape Design, Gardening Tools & Equipment, and Outdoor Living & Materials.

Shortlist exhibitors and pre-schedule B2B meetings — Target garden tools, outdoor living, home decor, and landscape design suppliers.

Plan daily local transport between hotel and SECC — Taxi or ride-hail is typical; keep a small buffer for traffic when scheduling meetings.

Prepare business cards, company profile, and product sourcing briefs — Bring printed and digital copies for supplier and distributor meetings.

Check December weather in Ho Chi Minh City and pack accordingly — December falls in the dry season; pack light business attire and comfortable walking shoes.

Print or save copies of passport, visa/e-visa, and hotel booking — Keep digital backup accessible offline in case of document checks.

Arrive early at SECC on Day 1 for registration and badge collection — Allow extra time for security screening and hall orientation before the opening session.

Exhibition halls, SECC

09:30–13:00

Pre-booked supplier meetings and technical discussions on lead times, MOQs, certifications (FSC, EUDR-relevant timber documentation) and shipping terms; use the business-matching area for hosted introductions.

On-site B2B zone

Hosted buyer programmes, trade delegations and matchmaking meetings are normally run here — the highest-density place to meet qualified counterparts without leaving the venue.

Crescent Lake and Crescent Mall promenade, Phu My Hung

Cafés, restaurants and lakeside walkway

The closest concentration of sit-down restaurants and cafés to SECC — practical for informal post-show dinners and supplier debriefs without crossing the city.

District 1 rooftop bars and specialty coffee (e.g. Saigon Saigon rooftop at the Caravelle, The Workshop Coffee)

City-centre networking venues

Where Vietnamese distributor and agency contacts typically host evening meetings; useful when your counterparts are staying in the city centre rather than District 7.

Visit, exhibit, or skip?

Should you go?

Pick the closest answer for each. Your recommendation updates live.

QUESTION 1 OF 6

What is your primary role?

Decision matrix

Compare participation options side by side to choose the best fit for your objectives.

visit

You have specific product categories to source, or you are testing Vietnam as a supply base before committing to a stand.

Best for

Sourcing managers, importers, retailers, landscapers and interior/garden buyers who want to scan Vietnamese and regional suppliers, compare quotes and open new supply relationships over 1–2 show days.

Min. budget

$380.00

Timeline

Book 4–8 weeks ahead (flights, District 7 hotel in show week, e-visa application).

Risks

Budget estimate from listing cost signals — confirm live rates.

December is peak business-travel season in Ho Chi Minh City; District 7 hotels fill quickly during SECC shows.

Flights into SGN during the Christmas/holiday period rise in price if booked late.

exhibit

You already sell into or near Southeast Asia, can staff a Vietnamese/English-speaking stand, and can commit stand space plus travel and freight budgets.

Best for

Home & garden, outdoor living, furniture, décor, garden-tool and landscaping suppliers targeting Vietnamese distributors, ASEAN retail chains and export buyers — plus Vietnamese manufacturers seeking export partners.

Min. budget

$2,800.00

Timeline

Commit 4–6 months out: book stand space, appoint a freight forwarder for temporary import, arrange visas and booth staff travel, and start pre-show buyer invitations 6–8 weeks before opening.

Risks

Budget estimate from listing cost signals — confirm live rates.

Stand estimate excludes international flights, sea/air freight, temporary import duties and booth build — a realistic all-in exhibit budget is typically several times the space cost.

Vietnam is not an ATA Carnet country, so exhibit goods must be cleared through temporary import–re-export procedures arranged with a customs broker.

Return on a first-time stand depends heavily on pre-booked meetings — walk-up traffic alone rarely justifies the cost.

skip

Your product line has no overlap with home, garden, furniture, décor or landscaping, or your travel budget is already committed elsewhere.

Best for

Suppliers and buyers with no Vietnam or ASEAN exposure, no categories in home/garden/outdoor living, or teams already committed to a competing show in the same window.

Timeline

None — revisit for the following edition if your market focus changes.

Risks

Passing up the show means missing first-hand comparison with Vietnamese and ASEAN pricing in home, garden and outdoor-living categories.
