Vietnam’s footwear companies invest in digital

09/04/2021
Vietnam’s footwear and leather companies are adapting to the pandemic by investing in digital solutions after turnover fell 11% to $19.5 billion during 2020, on par with 2018 levels.

Nguyen Duc Thuan, chairman of Lefaso, the leather and footwear association, told Vietnam Net: “We have built online 3D design and trade interfaces for samples, which was made by Vietnamese designers, researchers and developers.

“It has not only helped the industry to get new orders but also created an opportunity to prove to major brands that Vietnam has the capacity to comprehensively design and develop global supply chains."

He added that businesses have been receiving orders for this year and the industry is aiming for export turnover of more than $20 billion.
