OEM FASHION MANUFACTURING
The Role of Fashion OEM in the Logistics Supply Chain
The Fashion Industry (Garment & Footwear), especially under the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) model, plays a critical role and represents a massive share within Viet Nam’s logistics industry structure
Below is a detailed overview of its importance:
1. Contribution to Export Turnover
Garment and footwear products consistently rank among Vietnam’s top three export industries
Share: These two sectors typically account for approximately 20%–25% of Vietnam’s total export turnover
Impact on Logistics: Since most fashion products in Vietnam are manufactured under OEM models for global brands, the demand for logistics services — including ocean freight, air freight, warehousing, and supply chain management — is extremely significant to support international distribution networks
2. Strategic Locations of Industrial Parks
OEM garment and footwear manufacturers are commonly concentrated in industrial parks with strong logistics connectivity:
-
-
- Cat Lai 2 Industrial Park (Ho Chi Minh City): An ideal location for fashion logistics businesses due to its direct proximity to Vietnam’s largest container port
- Satellite Industrial Zones: Industrial parks in Nhon Trach, Phu My, and Long An host numerous large-scale OEM factories, creating continuous domestic transportation demand between factories and export seaports
-
3. Specialized Logistics Requirements of Fashion OEM
This industry not only contributes high cargo volumes but also requires specialized logistics solutions:
-
-
- Multimodal Transportation: Combining road transportation from factories with sea freight through Cai Mep – Thi Vai Port or air freight for urgent shipments
- Value-Added Services: Including warehousing, packaging, quality inspection, and customs clearance within logistics hubs
- Global Agent Networks: Leading logistics providers such as Gemadept and Kerry Apex play essential roles in offering destination agent services that connect Vietnamese OEM products to global markets
-
4. 2026 Trends: Green Logistics & Digital Transformation
To maintain competitiveness and market share, the logistics sector supporting fashion OEM manufacturing is rapidly evolving:
-
-
- Green Logistics: Global fashion brands increasingly require sustainable supply chains with reduced carbon emissions
- Digitalization: The adoption of AI and big data helps optimize transportation routes, reduce operational costs, and accelerate delivery speed to international markets
-
Conclusion
Within the “Made in Viet Nam” ecosystem, the garment and footwear OEM sector is considered the largest customer base of Viet Nam’s logistics industry. Optimizing end-to-end supply chain operations — from factories to international seaports — is becoming a key factor in enhancing the global competitiveness of Vietnamese-made products
