Global industry supply chains are facing new changes due to adjustments in the international political and economic landscape. Southeast Asian countries, with advantages such as relatively low labor costs, abundant natural resources, and supportive government policies, have become a popular investment destination for the global textile and manufacturing industry. These opportunities have fueled the rapid development of ASEAN's textile industry, but it also faces numerous challenges.  Changes in US tariff policies have hampered exports, while the increasing maturity of AI technology, while boosting efficiency and quality, also threatens existing jobs.  Higher technological standards and environmental requirements place economic pressure on local businesses, intensifying market competition.

How can ASEAN textile and apparel companies address these challenges and seize opportunities? How can textile and apparel brands strategically position their global supply chains in this new environment to create secure and agile systems? How can all participants in the textile and apparel supply chain adapt to change and build strong competitiveness?

The Vietnam & ASEAN Textile Summit 2025 aims to bring together leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders from the textile and apparel industry to discuss and analyze these challenges and explore opportunities for sustainable growth and innovation. Key discussion points will include navigating evolving trade regulations (post-Trump and future policies), sustainable and circular economy practices, leveraging technological advancements in manufacturing and supply chain management, and promoting ethical and responsible sourcing. The summit will serve as a networking platform for textile and apparel decision-makers to collaborate, address challenges, seize opportunities, and promote high-quality industry development.
