Fabric is an important input material for the Vietnamese textile and garment industry. This is a key industry with an export turnover of tens of billions of USD each year. Currently, Vietnamese garment products have been exported to 104 countries and territories.
However, domestic raw fabric sources only meet 50% of demand, so Vietnam has to import raw fabric from other countries, typically China.
Last year, textile and garment exports grew negatively due to the impact of the global economic and trade downturn. Major markets such as the United States, the EU, Japan, etc. all reduced imports from Vietnamese suppliers. As a result, the demand for input fabric materials also decreased, with fabric imports for the whole year falling to 13 billion USD, down 1.7 billion USD compared to the actual level in 2022.
