Vietnam’s Must-Attend Trade Fairs for Consumer Goods & Fashion (Feb–May 2025)
Why Vietnam is Becoming the Go-To Sourcing Hub
For brands and retailers looking to expand beyond China, Vietnam’s manufacturing sector is proving to be a serious contender. With lower costs, improving infrastructure, and growing expertise in textiles, consumer goods, and smart electronics, Vietnam offers a competitive alternative for buyers who want direct factory access without dealing with middlemen.
But here’s the challenge: Being there matters.
No matter how good a supplier looks on paper, nothing replaces physical presence—whether it’s negotiating better terms, ensuring quality, or catching red flags before they turn into expensive problems.
That’s where Asia Agent comes in. We act as your boots on the ground, ensuring that every trade fair visit, every factory meeting, and every sourcing opportunity is executed in your best interest—without you having to be there yourself.
