Vietnam's textile and garment export growth has averaged $ 1 billion a year, reaching $ 6.5 billion in 2006; Thanks to WTO accession and the ASEAN-Japan, ASEAN-Korea FTA, Vietnam's textile and garment export turnover has increased by an average of $ 2 billion a year, including during the 2008- By the end of 2017, Vietnam's textile and garment export turnover will reach US $ 31.3 billion, accounting for 15% of the total export turnover of the country. With the above growth rate, Vietnam garment exports are among the top five countries in the world, with the second largest market share in the United States, Japan and Korea, ranking fifth in Europe. . To achieve this, the role of information system in the US, Japan, Europe and Korea, not only in terms of market but also in terms of policies of the country, plays a very important role for domestic garment enterprises.
