1. Diversified and competitive sourcing options

Companies seeking to diversify their global supply chains and decrease reliance on China while still adopting the “China Plus One” strategy will find Vietnam's resilient and competitive market a promising land for businesses.

2. Quality products and workmanship

Manufacturers from Vietnam are skilled in hand assembly and the country's labor force is known for its excellent workmanship as reflected in the country's high-quality and competitively priced product offerings. Over the years, Vietnam has emerged as one of Asia's most reliable suppliers of electronics, garments, textiles, footwear and home products.

3. Resilient economy

Vietnam has one of the highest growth rates in the world according to the International Monetary Fund. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, its economy has expanded by 2.9 percent in 2020 and was projected to reach 6.5 percent in 2021. This growth, according to the IMF, can be attributed to the country's well-targeted support from the government, strong economic fundamentals and decisive containment measures.

4. Competitive manufacturing industry

Vietnam is also one of the most open economies to cross-border trade in Asia, with the trade representing 209 percent of its Gross Domestic Product in 2020, outpacing many of its neighbor countries.

The country provides a favorable sourcing destination for world markets, thanks to signed free trade agreements that ensure preferential market access and stable trade conditions, and guarantee a steady supply of competitively priced products and raw materials.

5. Working with Vietnam suppliers

Manufacturers from Vietnam offer excellent workmanship at competitive rates and are more flexible with smaller order quantity requests compared to neighboring countries. Buyers can expect low labor costs from the country’s highly specialized workforce.
