Global Sources is organizing the fourth edition of the Global Sourcing Fair Vietnam, a large-scale B2B trade exhibition scheduled for April 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City that connects international buyers directly with a diverse array of manufacturers from across Asia. The event brings together over 500 verified suppliers, with the majority based in Vietnam and the remainder representing other key sourcing markets like China, South Korea, and India, alongside new pavilions from several ASEAN nations.
Operating on a factory-direct model, the Global Sourcing Fair Vietnam facilitates direct engagement between buyers and factory decision-makers, which supports transparent pricing and efficient customization for export-ready goods across three main product sectors — fashion and accessories, home and gifts, and electronics, with a newly added focus on printing and packaging services.
At its core, Global Sourcing Fair Vietnam offers a centralized and efficient platform to navigate the complex landscape of Asian manufacturing.
