As of April 15, Vietnam’s total textile and garment export turnover reached 1.8 billion USD, representing an 8.7% increase compared to the same period in 2024.

2019 will be a challenging year for Vietnam’s textile and garment industry as it needs to obtain major breakthroughs to take on new roles in the global value chain, including shifting from simple processing - Cut, Make and Trim (CMT) - to purchasing materials, free on board (FOB), original design manufacturer (ODM) and original brand manufacturer (OBM) modes.

Vietnam’s textile and garment industry is doing well abroad, but struggling at home, according experts.
