In 2025, textile and garment enterprises faced significant challenges due to volatile cotton and fiber prices, fluctuating logistics costs, and increasingly stringent customer demands regarding delivery timelines, product quality, and traceability. Simultaneously, processing prices showed a downward trend.
Additionally, U.S. tariff policies added pressure to the global textile supply chain, forcing manufacturers, including Vietnamese companies, to share increased costs, eroding their competitive edge against low-cost exporting nations like Bangladesh and Indonesia.
Natural disasters in northern and central provinces further disrupted production. Many factories halted operations due to flooding, and worker absenteeism during the year-end peak season caused delivery delays and additional costs for businesses.
Despite these challenges, 2025 marked another year of resilience for the textile industry. Total export turnover reached approximately $46 billion, a 5% increase from 2024. Vietnamese textile products are now present in 138 global markets, with the U.S. remaining the largest market at over $18 billion, up 10%. Apparel exports continued to dominate, accounting for $38 billion of the total.
This success stems from the industry’s adaptive and proactive management, particularly the efforts of the Vietnam Textile and Garment Group (Vinatex). In 2025, Vinatex launched the “90-Day Sprint” campaign to maximize output and meet deadlines, hosted market updates through specialized seminars, expanded its customer base, diversified export markets, and increased focus on mid- to high-end segments and technical products.
As a result, Vinatex’s 2025 consolidated revenue reached 18.89 trillion VND, exceeding targets, with consolidated profit at 1.355 trillion VND, the second-highest in its 30-year history. Average worker income rose to 11.7 million VND/month, a 10% increase from 2024, enhancing stability for the industry’s workforce.
