US retail giant Target eyes Vietnamese suppliers
Target one of the US largest retail groups will make its first appearance at Vietnam International Sourcing 2026 as it looks to expand its network of Vietnamese suppliers across a range of consumer product categories
US retail giant Target is set to visit Vietnam from September 3-5 to scout for new suppliers across various sectors, including household goods, home textiles, children's products, personal care, and beauty items. The visit aims to foster connections with the sourcing team of one of the world's leading retail groups, as per the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT).
Target's representatives highlighted the need for suppliers with robust manufacturing and product development capabilities to meet stringent requirements for quality, design, and supply chain performance. The company is particularly interested in a wide array of products, from baby bags and nursery accessories to skincare tools and innovative packaging solutions.
The sourcing exploration extends beyond beauty and personal care to include essential household cleaning products, candles, air fresheners, home fragrance items, and personal care products for children. Target's extensive portfolio spans fashion, beauty, household goods, home furnishings, and everyday essentials, with over 45 private labels.
Target prioritizes suppliers with manufacturing facilities in Vietnam, strong export capacity, and experience working with international groups and retail chains. The company aims to identify suppliers capable of meeting immediate sourcing needs and also possessing the manufacturing, management, and innovation capabilities to become long-term partners.
Vietnamese businesses are encouraged to invest in manufacturing capacity, product design, quality, supply chain management, and adhere to product safety, social responsibility, environmental standards, and ethical sourcing practices.
