Textile and Apparel SEA - Vietnam Summit 2022 on October 27-28

The SEA region plays an important role in the global textile and apparel industry owing to its strong comparative advantages for manufacturers, like market access, low labour costs, investment incentives and existing industrial base, according to organisers Godiasia.

In Asia, the textile and apparel industry is developing rapidly in Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Bangladesh, India and other countries. The host country for the event, i.e., Vietnam is also witnessing rapid growth and the country currently exports its apparel and textile products to 180 countries. Vietnam’s textile and garment industry is expected to maintain high growth potential until 2035 with an estimated export turnover of about $200 billion, Godiasia said in a pre-event statement.

However, the textile and apparel industry in the SEA region also faces challenges, with the main ones being rising wages, unskilled labour force and international competition.
