The textile and garment sector stands out, with more than 250 enterprises targeting growth of 10–15% in 2026. Companies continue fulfilling orders from traditional markets such as the US, Europe and Japan, while expanding into Australia, the Republic of Korea and the Middle East.

Pham Xuan Hong, Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Textile, Embroidery and Knitting Association, said: "Orders now require more diverse designs and materials to meet changing consumer demand. One order could require diverse designs and materials instead of just one design previously."
