VIATT 2024 as the response to Vietnam's developing textile sector

Vietnam is the subject of increasing investment across an array of industries, with its textile sector going from strength to strength in a short space of time. To give key players from across the textile spectrum an opportunity to make their presence felt in this market, the Vietnam International Trade Fair for Apparel, Textiles and Textile Technologies (VIATT) will make its debut from 28 February – 1 March 2024. Taking place at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC), the new fair will cover three main product sectors, namely apparel fabrics, yarns and fibres, and garments; home textiles; as well as technical textiles and nonwovens, textile processing, and printing technology.

Vietnam is the subject of increasing investment across an array of industries, with its textile sector going from strength to strength in a short space of time. To give key players from across the textile spectrum an opportunity to make their presence felt in this market, the Vietnam International Trade Fair for Apparel, Textiles and Textile Technologies (VIATT) will make its debut from 28 February – 1 March 2024. Taking place at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC), the new fair will cover three main product sectors, namely apparel fabrics, yarns and fibres, and garments; home textiles; as well as technical textiles and nonwovens, textile processing, and printing technology.

In line with the industry’s anticipation, the country was identified as the ideal location for ASEAN’s new comprehensive textile platform for several key reasons. Vietnam’s pro-business policies, strategic geographical location, abundant labour force, and favourable trade agreements have contributed to its rise as a global textile manufacturing hub. Agreements such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP); the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity (IPEF); and 15 free trade agreements (FTAs) covering over 60 countries and regions, will further enable participants from across the value chain to conduct cross-border business after connecting at next year’s show. In addition, several key travel initiatives that serve international players have been implemented, including the country’s APEC Business Travel Card programme[1], availability of e-visas to all nationalities, and visa-free travel for select countries[2].  

Exhibitors from multiple textile sub-sectors converge in February
In Vietnam’s home textile segment, rising urbanisation, emerging young consumers, and higher disposable incomes are interrelated factors driving growth[3]. Globally, three of the top trends include recycling; utilising green fibres; and the increasing use of technical fabrics for enhanced comfort and health. At the fair, confirmed home textiles exhibitors include Hanyang Eco Tex, Hohmann GmbH, Phuong Nam Feather, and SIGMA, set to showcase their most up-to-date products, covering bedding, upholstery fabrics, curtain, and sun protection.
 
Utilised for automobiles, civil aviation, construction, health care, and more, Vietnam's exports of technical textiles reached USD 676.6 million for the first nine months of 2022, up 17.1% compared to the same period in 2021[4]. This in turn bodes well for the country’s import prospects of quality machinery and equipment. Hoping to cater to domestic demand at VIATT 2024, international suppliers in this category include Julai, SIGMA, and Skwentex.

Meanwhile, apparel-related products make up the lion’s share of the country’s textile exports – according to Vietnam Textile & Apparel Association (VITAS), in 2022 these numbered USD 29.1 billion. From Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi, numerous international fashion brands have a manufacturing presence, including Adidas, H&M, Lacoste, Lululemon, Nike, The North Face, Uniqlo, and many more. At next year’s fair, exhibitors such as Avery Dennison, Lenzing, Stylem Takisada-Osaka, and Texwinca, will aim to draw the attention of apparel brands and a wide range of other domestic and international buyers.

The Vietnam International Trade Fair for Apparel, Textiles and Textile Technologies (VIATT) is organised by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd and the Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency (VIETRADE), covering the entire textile industry value chain.

Thanks to the resumption of global travel and the ongoing industry recovery, the next Autumn edition is slated to attract even more multinational fairgoers and diverse home and contract textile collections. The fair will return in 14 – 16 August 2024.

A recent study showed a significant rise in corporate travel in 2023, driven largely by the resurgence of live business events and the easing of restrictions following several turbulent years. Adding to this, the Chinese government has announced several measures in a bid to attract more international visitors, including a simplified visa application process as the latest initiative.
 
As one of the largest economies in the world, China is renowned for producing high-value products across the home textile spectrum, making Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles an essential stop for global suppliers and buyers aiming to kick off the next business season.  
 
Emerging markets have become a significant focus for the industry in recent years. China's exports of home textiles to the ASEAN market amounted to around USD 2.09 billion in the first quarter of 2023, with an increase of 18% year-on-year; of which around USD 1.38 billion was exported in finished goods, seeing a rise of over 42% year-on-year[3]. With this growth in trade, buyers from fast growing emerging markets are expected to increasingly benefit from the Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles platform to fulfil their sourcing needs.
 
The upcoming Autumn edition will continue to comprise a wide range of home textile products, including bedding & towelling, rugs, table & kitchen linen, upholstery & curtain fabrics, editors, home textile technologies and textile design.
 
Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles – Autumn Edition is organised by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd; the Sub-Council of Textile Industry, CCPIT; and the China Home Textile Association (CHTA).

HeiQ launches a probiotics infused textile technology

HeiQ introduces a 100% biobased and long-lasting cosmetic finishing technology for textiles to the market. The newest addition to the HeiQ portfolio harnesses the power of active probiotics and selected prebiotics to enhance the skin microbiome, turning the human’s largest organ into the best-looking one.

HeiQ Skin Care is a synbiotic textile finish aimed at providing a balanced microbiome for glowing skin, even after repeated use and washing of textiles. Unlike conventional products, HeiQ Skin Care utilizes slow-release prebiotics and probiotics seamlessly integrated into a biobased textile matrix, enriching the skin's microbiome diversity, and offering long-lasting cosmetic benefits.

The synergistic combination of prebiotics and probiotics, known as synbiotics, delivers a soothing cosmetic skin treatment while relaxing, working, or sleeping. Probiotics not only restore and improve the skin's natural balance but also enhance its self-repair capabilities. Synbiotics promote skin renewal, rebalancing, and improved appearance, reducing the signs of aging and establishing a favorable environment for the skin's natural repair mechanisms.

A second skin that takes care of the first
The skin, the largest organ in human body, is home to a diverse community of microorganisms called the skin microbiome. It plays a crucial role in maintaining good skin condition, acting as a protective barrier against harmful agents. However, various factors, such as hormones, diet, smoking, environmental exposures, and excessive UV radiation, can disrupt its balance, leading to skin conditions like rashes, acne, psoriasis, rosacea, skin irritation, redness, eczema, and odor. Maintaining a balanced skin microbiome is essential for preserving skin integrity.

HeiQ Skin Care is suitable for all textile fibers, both natural and synthetic, and can be applied to all textile items that come in direct contact with the skin. This versatility makes it an ideal choice for daily use- at work, during sports, leisure activities, or as bedding items like bed sheets and pillows.

Intensive wear trials conducted during the development stage have proven the consistent release of synbiotics (prebiotics and probiotics) onto the skin, creating conditions to foster a well-balanced microbiome.

The comprehensive textile platform provides key opportunities for industry players to connect and explore new possibilities.
 
While the growth rate of the global economy remains slow, the domestic market in China has shown promising figures after the Chinese government implemented measures to encourage household consumption. These include providing support to both the home industry and consumers, to develop sustainable, intelligent and healthy living environments. Loan procedures for home refurnishing and funding for related industry sectors have also been optimised. Against this backdrop, for the first eight months of 2023, China Customs recorded a 7% year-on-year increase in consumables retail sales, reaching a total of RMB 3 billion (around USD 410 million). Homing in on the textile sector, profitability is regaining momentum, driven by both the local market and the success of international trade agreements such as Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).

Across three days, the 2023 spring edition attracted 26,538 trade visitors and 283 exhibitors from five countries and regions. The upcoming fair in March will showcase a full range of home textiles to meet buyers’ needs, including bedding & towelling, rugs, table & kitchen linen, home textile technologies, textile design, and many more. Exhibitors, meanwhile, are set to benefit from the concurrent textile fairs, with the apparel fabrics, yarns and fibres on offer to attract additional segments of the textile value chain, and facilitate sourcing on a wider scale.

ECHA: Toxic chemicals in childcare products

The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has found that substances causing cancer, genetic mutations or harming reproduction are present in childcare products, such as car seats, bibs and baby changing mats. Its investigation will help the European Commission to prepare an EU-wide restriction to limit these chemicals, with the aim of safeguarding children.

ECHA’s investigation, drawing on information from 48 different sources, shows that substances which are carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction (CMR) may be present in childcare products (articles). Metals like cobalt and lead, along with phthalates like DEHP, are the most common CMR substances found in childcare products.

CMRs were most often found in items like car seats, bibs, products related to toiletries, and bedding and mattresses. Children may be exposed to these hazardous substances during use, for example through skin or oral contact, and are particularly vulnerable to the harm caused by chemical substances because of their small size, developing physiology and behaviour.

Children may be exposed to these hazardous substances during use, for example through skin or oral contact, and are particularly vulnerable to the harm caused by chemical substances because of their small size, developing physiology and behaviour.

ECHA’s report provides elements to support the European Commission in the preparation of a potential future restriction. These include information on how childcare articles are defined, what the restriction could cover, potential derogations, recommended concentration limits and timeframes for implementation. The report also includes views from ECHA’s Enforcement Forum on how feasible it would be to enforce such a restriction.

The report will now be sent to the European Commission, who will use it to prepare a draft restriction proposal under REACH Article 68(2). This procedure allows the Commission to prepare a restriction proposal without involvement of ECHA’s scientific committees.

Background
The purpose of ECHA’s investigation is to support the European Commission in preparing a restriction under the REACH Regulation to protect children from exposure to CMR substances in childcare articles. It focused on substances that have a harmonised classification under the Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation as a CMR in category 1A (known human carcinogen, mutagen or reproductive toxicant) or 1B (presumed human carcinogen, mutagen or reproductive toxicant).

During the investigation, ECHA organised two public calls for evidence and a consultation on the draft report. The Agency contacted 233 different stakeholders to inform about the work and considered their feedback.

Schwitzke & Partner: Iconic Award 2023 für Retail-Design für LFDY

Mit dem Hamburger Flagshipstore der Modemarke ‚Live Fast Die Young‘ (LFDY) gewinnen Schwitzke & Partner und LFDY den Iconic Award 2023 für innovative Architektur. Im Wettbewerb um den Titel „Winner Interior – Retail“ konnte sich das Architekturbüro aus Düsseldorf gegen zahlreiche Mitbewerber:innen der Branche durchsetzen. Ausgezeichnet wird dabei die von Schwitzke & Partner und LFDY Fusion von urbaner Straßenkultur und höchstem Designanspruch, reinterpretiert in einem zeitgemäßen und innovativen Einzelhandelskonzept.

Die Retail-Spaces umfassen eine zweigeschossige Ladenfläche auf insgesamt 265 m². Während im Erdgeschoss des Gebäudes Verkaufsflächen, der Showroom und ein großzügiger Umkleidebereich liegen, erwartet die Kund:innen im galerieartigen Obergeschoss eine weitläufige Lounge für Private Shopping sowie das offen gestaltete Lager. Inspiriert von der cleanen Architektur der nordischen Metropole und den verglasten Bauten in Elbnähe, transferierte das Düsseldorfer Architektenteam zusammen mit dem Team von LFDY diese Elemente der Hansestadt in ihr Ladendesign.

Inspiriert von der cleanen Architektur der nordischen Metropole und den verglasten Bauten in Elbnähe, transferierte das Düsseldorfer Architektenteam zusammen mit dem Team von LFDY diese Elemente der Hansestadt in ihr Ladendesign.

Die gläserne Außenfassade diente Schwitzke & Partner als kompositorischer Blueprint für den Store. Während im Interieur-Bereich moderne Edelstahl- und verzinkte Stahlelemente dominieren, schafft der grün-schwarz irisierende Marmor im Kassen- und Kabinenbereich einen spannenden Kontrast. Das Herzstück des Einkaufsbereichs bildet das typische LFDY-Showroomkonzept. Um die industrielle Reputation der Fläche zu untermalen und ein harmonisches Panorama zu schaffen, wurden alle Präsentationselemente ebenfalls aus gebürstetem Edelstahl gefertigt.

Freudenberg extends ECO range for sustainable carpet backings

Freudenberg Performance Materials (Freudenberg) is extending its recently-introduced ECO range of sustainable nonwoven carpet backings: Lutradur ECO-R and Colback ECO-R backings contain high percentages of recycled raw materials. With its ECO portfolio Freudenberg supports carpet manufacturers in their transition towards an increasingly sustainable product offering.

The company launched its ECO range for sustainable primary backings earlier this year with the introduction of the ECO-RE resource-efficient backings that use less raw materials and support end product recyclability. To achieve this, Freudenberg R&D teams further developed the company’s proprietary yarn production technology allowing for extremely thin filaments.

ECO-R products
Freudenberg’s spunbond nonwoven primary and secondary carpet backings contribute to manufacturers’ easy and efficient production processes as well as to high-performance end products. The company is now extending its ECO range in Europe with Colback ECO-R and Lutradur ECO-R backings that contain a recycled content of between 51 and 90%. Replacing virgin raw materials with recycled polyester saves on natural resources and improves the carbon footprint of end products. The ECO-R backings are specifically suitable for carpet tiles, broadloom, dust control mats and automotive option mats.

BTE-Umfrage: Kunden beklagen Leerstände und schlechte Erreichbarkeit

Den Kunden des innerstädtischen Mode- und Schuhhandels missfallen aktuell vor allem leerstehende und unattraktive Gebäude bzw. Plätze sowie die schlechte Erreichbarkeit der Innenstädte. Dies hat eine aktuelle Kundenbefragung im Auftrag des BTE ergeben. Von Ende August bis Mitte September wurden dazu an sechs Wochentagen – darunter zwei Samstage – in 14 Städten (4 Groß-, 4 Mittel- und 6 Kleinstädte) insgesamt rund 3.600 Mode- und Schuheinkäufer befragt. Parallel gab es eine bundesweite Online-Befragung bei 570 weiteren Personen.

Bei den offen gestellten Fragen (keine vorgegebenen Antwortmöglichkeiten) zeigten sich vor allem zwei Problembereiche:

Den Kunden des innerstädtischen Mode- und Schuhhandels missfallen aktuell vor allem leerstehende und unattraktive Gebäude bzw. Plätze sowie die schlechte Erreichbarkeit der Innenstädte. Dies hat eine aktuelle Kundenbefragung im Auftrag des BTE ergeben. Von Ende August bis Mitte September wurden dazu an sechs Wochentagen – darunter zwei Samstage – in 14 Städten (4 Groß-, 4 Mittel- und 6 Kleinstädte) insgesamt rund 3.600 Mode- und Schuheinkäufer befragt. Parallel gab es eine bundesweite Online-Befragung bei 570 weiteren Personen.

Bei den offen gestellten Fragen (keine vorgegebenen Antwortmöglichkeiten) zeigten sich vor allem zwei Problembereiche:

  1. Mehr als die Hälfte der Modekunden stört sich am unattraktiven Erscheinungsbild (Leerstände, schlechter baulicher Zustand, Ramschläden, wenig Grün, zu viel Müll und Dreck).
  2. Fast die Hälfte kritisiert die schlechte Erreichbarkeit der Innenstädte. Das betrifft zuerst die Pkw-Kunden, aber auch der ÖPNV wird als zu unpünktlich und zu wenig verlässlich bewertet. Dabei reisten 45 Prozent der Befragten mit dem Auto an, 36 Prozent mit Bus und Bahn, 10 Prozent per Fahrrad und 7 Prozent kamen zu Fuß.

Problematisch ist der zweite Problempunkt, weil laut der Befragung im Durchschnitt die Käuferquote bei den Pkw-Kunden mit 43 Prozent besonders hoch ist. Wer mit dem ÖPNV anreist, kauft noch zu 34 Prozent Bekleidung, Schuhe und Accessoires. Fahrradfahrer und Fußgänger rangieren mit Kaufquoten von 27 und 22 Prozent am Ende.
 
Zudem kaufen die Pkw-Kunden überdurchschnittlich viele Teile ein: 45 Prozent zwei bis drei Teile, 12 Prozent vier bis fünf Teile und 10 Prozent mehr als fünf Teile. Bei Nutzern von Bus und Bahn sind dies noch 53 Prozent (2 bis 3 Teile), acht Prozent (4 bis 5 Teile) bzw. vier Prozent (über 5 Teile). Wer dagegen zu Fuß oder per Fahrrad in die City kommt, kauft so gut wie nie mehr als drei Teile.
 
Auch im Mode- und Schuhhandel sehen die Kunden zum Teil noch Defizite. Bei der Frage nach den Wünschen der Modekunden an den Handel landete „mehr Events“ mit einer Quote von 40 Prozent vorne. Auf den weiteren Plätzen folgen der Wunsch nach schöneren Geschäften (39 Prozent), mehr individuelle Stilberatung (36 Prozent), bessere Verknüpfung von online und offline-Angeboten (35 Prozent), inspirierendere Sortimente (33 Prozent) und mehr Sitzgelegenheiten/Chill-Bereiche in den Geschäften (31 Prozent).
 
Bestätigt hat die BTE-Kundenbefragung, dass der Modeeinkauf mit einer Quote von fast zwei Drittel nach wie vor den wichtigsten Grund zum Besuch der Innenstädte darstellt. Jeder zweite Modeeinkauf wird dabei mit anderen Aktivitäten gekoppelt wie Arbeit, Behördengänge oder – vor allem am Samstag – Besuche der Gastronomie oder kulturelle Aktivitäten.
 
Als wichtigste Innenstadt-Branche müsse der Textil- und Schuhhandel damit ein hohes Interesse an der Attraktivität des eigenen Standorts haben. Der BTE appelliert daher an alle Mode- und Schuhhändler, sich vor Ort in den entsprechenden Verbänden und Werbegemeinschaften zu engagieren.

CELLIANT meets updated requirements for Class 1 Medical Devices

The European Union (EU) has upgraded the requirements for the Class 1 Medical Device designation and Hologenix®, creators of CELLIANT®, has met the stricter requirements for this important market. This means that compliant manufacturers can continue to use the CE mark on their EU products containing CELLIANT.

Brand partners simply need to comply with the requirements that Hologenix provides, and do not have to pursue regulations on their own. Regulatory status validates the science and technology behind CELLIANT, a natural blend of bioceramic minerals that absorb body heat and reflect it back as therapeutic infrared energy.

The list of products that are now registered in the EU as Class 1 Medical Devices has grown considerably since 2014 when Hologenix first sought registration and now includes bed blankets, bed sheets, duvets, duvet covers, mattresses, mattress covers, pillows, heat-reflective upper and lower torso garments, therapeutic diabetic socks, compression socks/stockings, support bandages, wraps and limb mobilization/support skin adhesive tape.

Nadelvlies als Wandbekleidung: Behaglichkeit und Raumakustik

Markert Orthopädie-Schuhtechnik in Kassel bietet unter diesem Motto Schuhe, die Mobilität und Wohlbefinden steigern sollen. Diesen Anspruch sollte das Ladenlokal in zentraler Lage von Kassel widerspiegeln, mit dessen Gestaltung Masin Idriss (Kassel) betraut war. Für die Wandverkleidungen wurde grüner Nadelvlies von FINDEISEN aus der Kollektion FINETT FEINWERK gewählt.

Zusammen mit einem intensiven Rot stellt dieser die Hausfarben von Markert Orthopädie-Schuhtechnik dar. Im Ladengeschäft bilden die farblich abgesetzten Elemente in Kombination mit den in weiß gehaltenen Möbeln und Flächen ein elegantes und hochwertiges Ambiente, das gleichzeitig Behaglichkeit ausstrahlt.

Für Massin Idriss war es wichtig, durch die textile Oberfläche des grünen Nadelvlieses nicht nur farblich, sondern auch haptisch einen kontrastierenden Eindruck zu den sonst glatten Oberflächen zu bieten: „Die melierten Flächen strahlen Lebendigkeit aus und transportieren haptische Reize. Dabei ist FINETT FEINWERK als Wandbelag sehr robust und strapazierfähig. Gleichzeitig wirkt die offene Faserstruktur schallabsorbierend und verbessert dadurch die Raumakustik.

Caparol Icons: Farbgebung und Gestaltung von Schlafzimmern

Farben haben eine große Wirkung auf unser Wohlbefinden und geben wichtige Signale an unsere Umgebung. Trotzdem kommt die  Beschäftigung mit der Farbgebung und Gestaltung von Schlafzimmern oft viel zu kurz! Jedoch gerade Schlafzimmer sollten auf den individuellen Stil und die persönlichen Anforderungen der Bewohner:innen abgestimmt werden. Denn in kaum einer anderen Umgebung ist der richtige Farbton so wichtig wie in unserem persönlichen Rückzugsort.

Für einen zarten, verführerischen Flair im Schlafzimmer empfiehlt sich NO 33 GLOBAL GYPSET, ein Grau-Rosé mit einem subtilen Hauch von Umbra. Diese Nuance fügt sich in jedes Farbkonzept problemlos ein und die matte Reflektion der Pigmente sorgt für einen frischen Teint und lässt die Haut am Morgen strahlen.

Wer auf Ruhe bedacht ist, wählt dunkle, tiefe, intensive Farben. Sie umarmen und umhüllen uns und schaffen eine Rückzugszone. Die hochpigmentierte Farbikone NO 65 SKATER ist hierfür prädestiniert, denn sie verleiht Räumen Tiefe und Ausdruck. Die Petrol-Nuance ist der ideale Begleiter für diejenigen, die sich zwischen Grün und Blau nicht entscheiden können.

Aktive Menschen, die den Tag mit Tatendrang und einem „Raus-aus-dem-Bett-Gefühl!“ begrüßen, bevorzugen helle, frische Töne. Grün vermittelt als Wandfarbe ein Gefühl von Vitalität und Naturverbundenheit und ist laut Forschungsergebnissen für unsere Retina am einfachsten darzustellen – somit hat Grün nachgewiesen eine entspannende Wirkung auf unser Gehirn. Für Schlafzimmer besonders geeignet ist der dezente, helle Wassergrünton NO 72 BENJAMIN. Er wirkt belebend und zeitgleich schick.
