Vietnam and Southeast Asia are important bases for global footwear manufacturing, with huge production capacity and export markets. In recent years, the footwear industry in the region has developed rapidly, attracting investments from global international brands and manufacturers. However, with the changes in the global economic environment and the adjustment of trade policies, the footwear industry in Vietnam and Southeast Asia faces some challenges and opportunities. In order to cope with the challenges of trade policy changes and market demand fluctuations in the current development of the footwear industry, and to maintain the competitiveness and sustainable development of footwear manufacturing in Vietnam and Southeast Asia, Vietnam and ASEAN Footwear Summit 2025 aims to provide a platform for experts, manufacturers, brands and government representatives in the industry to gather together to share innovative materials, sustainable production methods and environmental practices, explore the application of emerging technologies in the footwear supply chain, analyze the latest trends and consumer needs in the global footwear market, and solve the key problems facing the footwear industry. Through this summit, we hope to promote the development of the footwear industry in Vietnam and Southeast Asia, strengthen cooperation and exchanges within the industry, jointly respond to challenges, seize opportunities, and promote the sustainable development of the footwear industry in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.
