According to estimates, the total revenue of the fourth quarter of 2021 of Vietnam’s listed textile companies increased by 24.1% over the same period, thanks to the recovery from the textile companies in the South. After the lockdown period, most southern companies ran at 85% - 90% capacity in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 50-60% capacity in the third quarter.
As a result, the industry's net profit increased by 57.0% year-on-year in the fourth quarter of 2021 and 82.0% higher than the third quarter of 2021.
In 2021, the total revenue of listed textile companies increased slightly by 7.6% year-on-year, while net profit in 2021 increased by 57.4% year-on-year and 6.0% higher than the same period in 2019.
Based on 2021 exports, Vietnam’s textile and garment exports in 2022 are predicted to increase by about 10% compared to 2021.
Three main factors will support Vietnam’s textile and garment exports in 2022:
The textile and garment market in 2022 is expected to prosper, however, the total demand is not expected to increase much, while the countries that compete with Vietnam's textile and garment are all trying to increase their export market share.
In particular, China approved the 14th five-year plan dedicated to the textile and garment industry and set the target to maintain and expand market share in the segments with the highest added value; towards technological innovation and achieving sustainable development goals. That creates pressure on Vietnam's textile and garment industry in 2022.

In January 2022, according to statistics of the General Department of Customs, Vietnam's textile and garment exports reached 3.57 billion USD, down 1.2% over December 2021 but up 34.4% compared to January 2021.

However, the proportion of Vietnam's textile and garment exports to the US market increased from 46.9% in 2020 to 49.1% in 2021. On the contrary, the proportion of Vietnam's textile and garment exports to other markets other main schools decreased.
