Vietnam: The Hub of Global Fashion Manufacturing

These days, if you take a look at your clothing tags, you’ll often find the phrase “Made in Vietnam” printed all over them. Over the past decade, Vietnam has quietly become a powerhouse in garment manufacturing. With an extensive network comprising more than 6,000 ready-to-wear factories, achieved an impressive export value of US$44 billion in garments. This secured its position as the third-largest global exporter, following China and Bangladesh.

Inflow capitalizes on this by working with global brands looking to expand into the Vietnamese market while also helping local players reach global customers. Supported by Vietnam's free trade agreements with the United States, the European Union, and Japan, Inflow is at the forefront of the country's booming manufacturing sector.
