As China’s fast-growing commercial laundry sector continues its upward trajectory, Texcare Asia & China Laundry Expo (TXCA & CLE) is gearing up for its highly anticipated 2024 show.

Unique, new FastReactFabric solution will connect buying and cutting operations into one single platform to deliver meaningful data insights that track and optimise real-time fabric usage and wastage and enable efficient planning for complex styles and colourways.

Vietnam’s garment sector will focus on new potential markets to achieve an average growth of 6 per cent each year between 2020 and 2025, according to Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association (VITAS) chairman Vu Duc Giang, who recently said the COVID-19 pandemic offered businesses a chance to step up digital transformation and produce masks in large quantities.

Vietnam’s textile and garment industry witnessed a fall in exports in the first four months of this year due to production-related difficulties arising out of the COVID-19 pandemic. In April, the figure fell by 20 per cent compared to that in March, Truong Van Cam, vice chairman of the Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association (VITAS), said.
