Vietnam remains Adidas’ largest sourcing base, accounting for 27 percent of its total production volume in 2025 and playing a central role in the company’s global manufacturing network.
Key highlights include:
- Footwear dominance: Vietnam contributes 41 percent of Adidas’ global footwear output, making it the company’s most important production base for this segment.
- Strong apparel position: The country ranks as the second-largest apparel producer, accounting for 18 percent of global output.
- Structural supply chain role: Vietnam has evolved beyond a “China+1” alternative into a core pillar of Adidas’ global sourcing strategy, supported by established supplier ecosystems and scalable production capacity.
Together, these factors position Vietnam not just as a cost-efficient manufacturing location, but as a strategically embedded node in Adidas’ global supply chain.
Where is Adidas’ Vietnam supply chain located?
Adidas’ supply chain in Vietnam is anchored by primary suppliers, which maintain direct contractual relationships with the company and are responsible for producing finished goods. These firms form the core manufacturing backbone, while subcontractors serve as a secondary layer, supporting capacity and specialisation.
The majority of Adidas’ primary suppliers are concentrated in southern Vietnam, particularly:
- Ho Chi Minh City
- Dong Nai
- Tay Ninh

Why does Adidas manufacture in southern Vietnam?
Adidas manufactures in southern Vietnam because the region offers:
- Mature industrial ecosystems and established footwear, textile, and garment supplier networks
- A skilled, cost-competitive workforce supported by specialised industries
- Strong transport and logistics connectivity through major ports, highways, and industrial zones
Vietnam’s biggest port system
The Cai Mep–Thi Vai Port primarily functions as Vietnam’s international gateway port, with around 96 percent of container throughput linked to the country’s own import-export activities rather than transshipment.
For Adidas, this has direct implications for its Vietnam supply chain: the port operates as a highly efficient export channel for domestically manufactured goods, particularly from southern production hubs such as Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai.
A key node is the Tan Cang – Cai Mep International Terminal (TCIT), which handled over 2.2 million TEUs in 2025, accounting for roughly 31 percent of the regional market share. Its digitalised e-Port system, covering more than 90 percent of gate procedures, has reduced processing time by about 30 percent and increased equipment utilisation by 25 percent, thereby enhancing throughput efficiency.
With 12 international shipping routes linking over 50 global ports, TCIT connects southern industrial clusters and the Mekong Delta directly to major markets. This logistics backbone enables Adidas to maintain high-volume, time-efficient exports from Vietnam to global distribution networks.

Experienced, low-cost labour
As a major textile and garment manufacturing hub, southern Vietnam offers a relatively skilled and cost-competitive workforce, providing significant advantages for manufacturers.
Following the recent provincial merger with Binh Duong and Ba Ria–Vung Tau, the expanded Ho Chi Minh City has become Vietnam’s largest population centre, with more than 14 million residents and a deep labour pool for manufacturing operations.

Emerging secondary hubs
Adidas’ supply chain has expanded beyond the south into several key regions:
- North-central Vietnam: Thanh Hoa and Nghe An
- Mekong Delta: Vinh Long and Dong Thap
- Northern provinces: Hung Yen, Thai Nguyen, and Hai Phong
These areas host both footwear and apparel factories, reflecting a geographic diversification strategy aimed at:
- Reducing over-reliance on southern hubs
- Leveraging lower laboUr costs in emerging provinces
- Expanding capacity amid rising global demand
Key product distribution
Footwear dominates the supply chain
Footwear accounts for the largest share of primary suppliers and workforce, with major factories including:
- Pouyuen Vietnam (9,408 workers)
- HWASEUNG VINA (8,026 workers)
- Vinh Long Footwear (10,619 workers)
This aligns with Adidas’ global positioning, where footwear represents a core revenue segment.
Apparel: Broad but more distributed
Apparel production is more geographically dispersed, spanning:
- Ho Chi Minh City
- Dong Nai
- Nghe An
- Hai Phong
Large apparel manufacturers such as Regina Miracle (11,306 workers) highlight Vietnam’s growing role in higher-value garment production.
Accessories and gear: Supporting segments
Accessories and sporting goods are present but smaller in scale, typically:
- Located near major clusters
- Integrated into existing supplier ecosystems
- Serving as complementary production lines
