VIATT 2027 Sets Out Textile Exhibitor Opportunities in Vietnam

28 September 2026: VIATT 2027 has confirmed its return to the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, on 24-26 February 2027. The textile trade fair will connect materials suppliers, manufacturers and technology providers with professional buyers, offering exhibitors a setting to explore sourcing relationships across different production stages.

The Vietnam International Trade Fair for Apparel, Textiles and Textile Technologies is organised by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd. and the Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency, VIETRADE. 

What will VIATT 2027 cover?

In its 24 August 2026 announcement, Messe Frankfurt confirmed that the next edition will retain three connected sectors: Apparel Fabrics & Fashion, Home & Contract Textiles, and Technical Textiles & Technologies.

The published product groups include fibres and yarns, apparel fabrics, garments, home textiles, nonwovens and coated textiles. Equipment categories cover printing, embroidery, sewing, textile treatment and finishing, alongside digitalisation and automation. For suppliers serving several markets, this format offers scope to discuss different applications with prospective customers. 

Which buyers can exhibitors target?

The organiser’s visitor profile includes textile manufacturers, spinners, weavers, buying offices, importers and distributors. It also covers retailers, designers and hospitality businesses. 

Screen Print India’s earlier report on Vietnam’s textile value-chain shift provides background on the fair’s positioning around materials, manufacturing technology and sourcing.

International suppliers can also consult the separate coverage of the German Pavilion listing. Pavilion participation and individual exhibitor arrangements require their own checks; a listing does not establish which companies will ultimately attend.

Sustainability and production technology remain priorities

Messe Frankfurt says VIATT 2027 will continue the Econogy Hub and Econogy Check, with attention to certified sustainable fibres, recycled materials, circular production and traceability systems. The organiser also plans discussions on digitalisation, regulation and trade developments.

These plans build on the themes described in Screen Print India’s VIATT sustainability coverage. Exhibitors making environmental or productivity claims should bring supporting documentation, including the scope of certifications and the conditions behind performance measurements.

How should prospective exhibitors prepare?

The official exhibitor information page provides a 2027 application form, brochure and factsheet. Preparation should start with a defined buyer group and a clear reason to meet. Product samples, relevant demonstrations, technical specifications and pre-arranged appointments can give those discussions substance.
