Vietnam’s textiles and garments industry
Vietnam’s textiles and garments industry is a major export sector, supplying global markets including the United States, the European Union and Japan.
The industry is driven by foreign direct investment and integrated supply chains, though it remains reliant on imported raw materials such as fabrics and yarns.
