Pick up in orders for Vietnam’s footwear and garment industries
23/10/2024
Exports between January and September are estimated at $20 billion.
Phan Th? Thanh Xuân, general secretary of the LEFASO – the Vietnam Leather, Footwear and Handbag Association - said many manufacturers have orders until the end of this year and into the first quarter of 2025.
The garment industry is also recovering, according to the Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association. This is due to orders shifting from other countries such as Bangladesh, rather than a general increase in demand, it noted.
