The exhibitions serve as a platform for manufacturers, distributors, and businesses in the industry to showcase new products, exchange technologies, expand markets, and establish effective business connections in Vietnam.

At the opening ceremony, Nguyen Van Nga, deputy chief of office, and head representative in the south under the Ministry of Trade and Industry of Vietnam, said, "Vietnam boasts a robust potential for the production of toys, baby products, gifts, and housewares. There will be numerous opportunities for cooperation in these industries, and the number of businesses and manufacturers gathering at these exhibitions is testament to that."

Covering an exhibition area of over 10,000 square metres, IBTE brings together more than 200 brands from Vietnam, China, Indonesia, India, and many other markets. They are showcasing a wide range of products, including artistic toys, educational toys, and essential baby products such as nappies, baby bottles, pacifiers, breast pumps, and many other items.
