Also known as Make to Market rate, Speed to market rate is a measure of the pace at which clothing items go from beginning to be manufactured to being displayed in stores, ready to be sold. Vietnamese manufacturers’ consistently high turnaround times have made the country the destination of big brands like Marks and Spencer, Mango, Gap, and Nike.
- 3. The government and various textile manufacturers’ associations organize several business-to-business exhibitions and international shows, which gives suppliers and producers a platform to meet clients and showcase their products.

b. Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) – This trade arrangement will let Vietnam conduct exports to and receive foreign direct investments from 13 countries, including Canada, Australia, Brunei, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, and Singapore. If all goes as planned, this arrangement will spur a massive inflow of funds into the Vietnamese economy, strengthening its manufacturing capabilities further.

“In the past, the world turned to China when it needed massive quantities of consumer products,” notes Henry Pham - CEO of Dony Garment Company. “The COVID-19 pandemic changed that a bit and the ongoing trade war between China and the US have inhibited Chinese production of PPE even more.
Other countries have been catching up to China’s manufacturing capacity: we can now produce nearly a quarter-million Dony Mask a day when needed. We do it with a degree of precision and quality control that larger Chinese manufacturers can’t match, and with the same low overhead, government support, and access to global shipping channels that China is known for."
