Vietnam

Our Ho Chi Minh team can help you grow revenues in the Vietnamese market.

Vietnam
Vietnam has solidified its position as one of the world’s fastest-growing markets, achieving a robust 7% GDP growth in 2024, reaching $476.3 billion. This highlights its resilience amid global challenges and its appeal as a prime destination for foreign investors.

In 2024, the country attracted $38.2 billion in registered foreign direct investment (FDI) commitments, further cementing its status as a Southeast Asian manufacturing hub.

Vietnam’s population now exceeds 100 million, with a median age of 32, providing a youthful, dynamic consumer base and a vast labour pool. This demographic strength fuels demand for goods and services while providing a strong labour force for industrial growth.

The government continues to promote trade and investment liberalisation, capitalising on Vietnam’s strategic position in global supply chains. Key sectors powering the economy include manufacturing, real estate, agriculture and services.

Vietnam remains a global leader in electronics exports, with shipments of smartphones, computers and components reaching $125.8 billion in 2024, a 15.2% increase from the previous year. The country ranks as the world’s second-largest mobile phone exporter, trailing only China. Other major exports include textiles, footwear, coffee and rice.

Free trade agreements (FTAs) such as the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and the European Union-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) continue to reshape Vietnam’s economic landscape. In 2024, Vietnam’s exports to CPTPP nations increased by 18%, while trade with the EU grew by 22%, reflecting the country’s deeper integration into global markets.

Great support, good matching with qualified companies in Vietnam. Our company could not obtain such meetings without you.

Client stories

Industrial & Materials

Boride is an American company known worldwide for its broad portfolio of consistent, high-quality abrasive products, serving applications across a range of sectors. Boride engaged our services to support its entry into the Vietnamese market.

We developed a targeted list of importers and distributors of abrasive products operating in Hanoi and other key locations across Vietnam. The key challenge was to identify potential partners with the right technical capabilities. After organising meetings with prospective partners shortlisted by the client, Boride successfully appointed Nihon Setsubi Vietnam Industrial Equipment as its in-country distributor.
