Amid escalating US-China trade tensions and instability in major exporting nations, a golden opportunity is emerging for Vietnam’s textile and garment sector. So, how will the surging wave of FDI impact the demand for ready-built factories in the garment manufacturing industry?
Vietnam’s Textile & Garment Industry: A Clearer Path Ahead Compared to Competitors
Following the unexpected announcement of broad-based, high reciprocal tariffs by the United States, the Vietnamese government swiftly acted, engaging in active negotiations aimed at tariff reduction. Vietnam stands as one of six priority trade partners for these discussions. In addition to a 90-day tariff pause, a delegation from Vietnam and the US held a “productive” meeting on May 7th.
Furthermore, the trade war between the United States and China is causing significant shifts in the global textile and garment supply chain. China, the largest exporter of textiles and garments to the US market, faces very high tariffs due to the trade tensions between the two nations. This trend of decreasing Chinese textile and garment imports is expected to continue, opening up significant opportunities for alternative countries, including Vietnam.
It’s not just China facing difficulties; Vietnam’s other competitors are also grappling with various instabilities. While Bangladesh saw a slight improvement in its market share in the US (rising from 7.0% in 2024 to 7.4% in Q1/2025), it still confronts internal political risks, especially indirect impacts from conflicts in neighboring Myanmar. This issue could threaten the stability of its production chain. Meanwhile, India and Pakistan – two of the top ten textile and garment exporters – are currently maintaining a ceasefire after US intervention, yet tensions remain high, eroding customer confidence and potentially diverting many orders to safer countries.
Maybank Securities (MAS) predicts that the US could raise import tariffs on Chinese textiles and garments significantly higher than 10%, while also introducing some selective exemptions. Additionally, the US will tighten rules of origin to prevent tariff evasion, such as labeling products “Made in Vietnam” when they are actually of Chinese origin. In this context, even though projected tariffs may be very high, MAS believes that the main supportive factor for Vietnam’s textile and garment industry in the US market is not just tariff avoidance, but also Vietnam’s inherent comparative advantages over competitors. These include competitive labor costs, a broad FTA network, a stable political environment, and an increasingly complete supply chain. Consequently, there’s growing interest from FDI enterprises in renting garment manufacturing factories or seeking textile and garment factory leasing services.
Abundant Opportunities for Garment Manufacturing Factory Rentals
Vietnam’s textile and garment industry continues to play a crucial role in exports and FDI attraction, particularly in the Southern region – an area with numerous industrial clusters, abundant labor, and rapidly upgrading infrastructure. According to the Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association (VITAS), in Q1/2025, textile and garment exports reached nearly $11 billion, a 7.4% increase year-on-year. Provinces like Binh Duong, Dong Nai, Ho Chi Minh City, and Binh Thuan are strongly attracting foreign businesses seeking opportunities to rent garment manufacturing factories, thanks to available land and convenient trade connectivity.
However, as demand for production expansion rises, the supply of high-standard, flexible, and sustainable factory spaces is becoming scarce, especially in traditional, saturated industrial zones. Garment businesses – particularly brands pursuing ESG and Net Zero standards – are increasingly shifting towards and seeking modern textile and garment factory leasing models that meet stringent environmental, energy, and operational efficiency criteria.
From this reality, HLI EcoHub Nam Ha emerges as a perfect answer, offering a new generation of ready-built factory solutions for light industry and textiles. The project is quickly becoming a strategic destination for businesses needing to rent garment manufacturing facilities amidst the strong restructuring of global supply chains.
