Vietwater 2026  – Vietnam’s leading international exhibition for water supply, water treatment and wastewater technologies, will take place from 4 – 6 November 2026 at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Bringing together more than 450 exhibitors from over 40 countries and regions and over 11,000 trade visitors, the event provides a strategic platform for technology providers seeking market access, business partnerships and long-term growth opportunities in Vietnam.

A transforming market creates high demands

Vietnam is growing rapidly with a fast urbanization rate but still facing many water and environmental issues. Water utilities, manufacturers and cities are seeking advanced solutions to modernise water networks, improve wastewater treatment, enhance water reuse, and strengthen climate resilience. 

While Vietnam has made significant progress in expanding industrial wastewater treatment infrastructure, challenges remain in improving treatment efficiency, ensuring environmental compliance, and optimising wastewater management operations. According to the General Statistics Office of Vietnam in 2025, although 92% of operating industrial parks and export processing zones had centralised wastewater treatment facilities meeting environmental standards, many facilities still face challenges in operational performance, monitoring, and achieving higher levels of sustainability. This creates growing demand for advanced water technologies, including smart monitoring systems, treatment optimisation, and water reuse solutions.

These developments are creating business opportunities for providers of:

• Water supply and treatment technologies;
• Municipal and industrial wastewater solutions;
• Water reuse and circular water systems;
• Sludge treatment and resource-recovery technologies;
• Pumps, valves, pipes, fittings and related materials;
• Water testing, measurement and monitoring equipment;
• Smart meters and non-revenue water solutions;
• SCADA, IoT, GIS, automation and smart water systems;
• Drainage, flood-control and stormwater technologies;
• Irrigation and water-resource management solutions;
• Engineering, EPC, operations and maintenance services…
