Exhibition «IGHE 2026 – Global Housewares Expo Vietnam»

   Just before the holidays, Saigon's south side turns into one big showcase of everything for the home: cookware, kitchen tools, small appliances, décor and gifts. IGHE — Global Housewares Expo — is an international trade show closing the year at the city's largest exhibition complex, and if you work with this market, three days here can replace weeks of meetings.

   What we know

   The show has been running in Ho Chi Minh City for several years alongside other December consumer-goods fairs. According to Vietnamese media, the 2025 edition together with the neighbouring baby products and toys expo gathered over 250 exhibiting companies, while the 2024 shows drew thousands of visitors — from professional buyers to locals hunting for new things for the home. The trade daily Báo Công Thương described IGHE as a meeting point for the gifts and housewares trade.

   The exposition takes Hall A; hours are the same on all three days.

   Who should go

   Buyers, distributors, shop owners and HoReCa professionals first of all — a December show is a natural place to line up contracts for the coming year. If you are simply setting up a home in Vietnam, keep an eye on the announcements: past editions were open to the general public as well.

   Admission

   The organiser has not yet published visiting terms for 2026 — event pages in the SECC calendar sit behind a login. Trade shows at SECC usually admit visitors via free pre-registration; check the venue's calendar closer to the date. The complex is in the Phú Mỹ Hưng area of District 7, about 20–30 minutes by taxi from the centre.

   If sourcing for 2027 is on your agenda, this is a sensible trip to pencil in.
