7th Vietnam Footwear Summit 2023

7th Vietnam Footwear Summit 2023

According to the statistics of the Vietnam Leather, Footwear and Handbag Association (LEFASO), Vietnam’s footwear exports is striving to reach US$27 billion in export turnover in 2023, an increase of about 10 per cent compared to one year earlier amid shrinking major markets and falling demand.

Combined with the signature of EVFTA and CPTPP, Vietnam’s leather and footwear industry is expected to maintain high growth in the coming years. Furthermore, the shift of production to use local sources of raw materials to increase the localisation rate of raw materials in a bid to meet the requirements relating to the origin of goods under FTAs helped the leather and footwear industry meet the export target.

However, Vietnam’s leather and footwear industry is facing great challenges from signed trade agreements when the supply chain must ensure the requirements of the agreements on commitments to environmental protection. This gradually becomes one of the basic requirements that factories participating in the supply chain must commit to. Therefore, leather and footwear companies should be directly involved in the design process and R&D and focus on the flow of raw materials toward sustainable development, and green and clean manufacturing.

The 7th Vietnam Footwear Summit 2023 will bring together about 150+ footwear industry experts and senior executives to deeply analyze the new trends in the Vietnam Footwear market in the context of net zero. The summit will also discuss industry hot topics such as sustainability, and digital transformation initiatives in design, supply chain and manufacturing.

In addition, this summit will provide a reference and industry exchange platform for Vietnam footwear market through keynote speeches and group discussions help the attendees get a better understanding of Vietnam footwear industry development status and find business opportunity.
