Textiles & Garments
There’s a good chance you’re wearing a piece of Vietnam’s garment industry right now without realizing it — a shirt sewn in Nam Dinh or Binh Duong, then dressed in the label of an American or Japanese brand. Vietnam is today the world’s second-largest garment exporter, behind only China. In 2025 the industry brought in over USD 39 billion. Seemingly ordinary items — T-shirts, jackets, trousers — each quietly cleared the one-billion-dollar mark.
The strength of Vietnamese garments isn’t in being “the cheapest,” because there are places with cheaper labor. It lies in skilled hands and the ability to take on huge, complicated orders and still deliver on time with flawlessly consistent quality. When a US retailer needs several hundred thousand shirts identical down to the last stitch, they put their trust in Vietnam. That trust was built over decades — no amount of money can buy it overnight.
But the ship is approaching a turning point. The US market accounts for more than a third of the industry’s revenue, large enough that every shift in American tariff policy makes the whole sector hold its breath. Europe, meanwhile, grows ever more demanding: it wants to know what the shirt is made of, whether it’s recycled, whether the process is clean, whether the source can be traced. “Going green” has gone from a slogan to a mandatory ticket for keeping orders.
And there’s a weakness everyone in the trade knows by heart: fabric. We sew brilliantly but still import nearly all of our fabric and raw materials, mostly from China. The slice of profit is therefore cut down right at the very first step. That is both a bottleneck and a golden opportunity for anyone bold enough to invest in weaving, dyeing and material production right here in Vietnam.
