Vietnam earned around US$930 million from garment exports in July, bringing exports in the first seven months of the year to a record US$5.1 billion – up 20.5 percent from the same period last year.
Chairman of the Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association (Vitas), Le Quoc An, said that it is possible for the industry to reap US$9.5 billion in export revenue by the end of the year.
However, the industry will have to cope with a number of difficulties such as runaway inflation, high interest rates on commercial loans, rising raw material prices, strikes and resignations, Mr An added.
As the sector was too dependent on major markets such as the US (55 percent of the market share), the EU (17 percent) and Japan (8 percent), it is vulnerable to unexpected market volatility, said Mr An.
To reduce the risk, industry experts propose that exporters look to other markets such as the Middle East and South Africa as well as regional countries such as Singapore, the Republic of Korea and Taiwan.
