Vietnam is gaining prominence as a vital manufacturing and supply chain hub in Asia, as global companies seek resilient and cost-effective alternatives amid the restructuring of international production networks.
The country’s robust economic growth, strategic location, and rapidly developing infrastructure have made it a preferred destination for companies looking to expand operations in Southeast Asia. Stakeholders from multiple countries—including key players from Asia, Europe, and North America—are increasingly exploring entry and expansion opportunities in the Vietnamese market.
To support this growth, a new cooperation agreement has been signed to host major exhibitions this August in Hanoi, focusing on manufacturing and supporting industries. These events aim to accelerate innovation in areas such as digital transformation, flexible automation, sustainable manufacturing, and digitalized supply chains.
With over 200 global participants expected, the exhibitions will offer vital platforms for showcasing advanced technologies, including automation systems, precision components, and material processing solutions. Additionally, the events are designed to facilitate high-impact business matchmaking through factory visits, B2B zones, and specialized networking systems—maximizing collaboration across supply chain sectors.
Vietnam’s supporting industries, though growing steadily, still meet only a small portion of domestic component demand, resulting in high import volumes. This underscores the urgent need for digital upgrades, green production practices, and enhanced process efficiency to align with international quality benchmarks.
The growing demand for localized supply chains and strategic cross-border partnerships is also prompting deeper ties with key economic allies, notably from Northeast Asia. A dedicated investment promotion seminar is set for early August to highlight opportunities within Vietnam’s evolving industrial ecosystem.
Recent data shows over half of foreign firms operating in Vietnam plan to boost their investment and procurement activities within the next two years—indicating strong confidence in Vietnam’s long-term supply chain potential.
