"New Frontiers" Connects Chinese Manufacturers with Viet Nam's Booming Industrial Landscape

Savills Vietnam is proud to announce its upcoming Industrial Roadshow, "New Frontiers: Chinese Manufacturers Elevate Vietnam Up the Value Chain," a series of three exclusive events designed to connect Chinese investors with the burgeoning industrial opportunities in Vietnam. Building on the significant and growing trend of Chinese Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into Vietnam, this roadshow will provide invaluable insights and networking opportunities for manufacturers looking to expand their global footprint.

Recent data underscores the increasing attractiveness of Vietnam as a key manufacturing hub for Chinese companies. In 2024, China became one of the largest sources of FDI into Vietnam, with registered capital reaching over USD 4.47 billion, a significant increase compared to previous years. This momentum has continued into early 2025, with preliminary data from the first two months indicating over USD 700 million in newly registered capital from Chinese investors. This influx is driven by factors such as Vietnam's strategic location, competitive labor costs, improving infrastructure, and favorable trade agreements. 

The Savills Industrial Roadshow will highlight the compelling benefits that Vietnam offers to Chinese manufacturers, including: 

  • Strategic Diversification: Mitigating geopolitical risks and supply chain vulnerabilities. 
  • Cost Competitiveness: Leveraging Vietnam's attractive labor and operational costs. 
  • Market Access: Benefiting from Vietnam's extensive network of free trade agreements, including CPTPP and RCEP. 
  • Growing Domestic Market: Tapping into Vietnam's rapidly expanding consumer base. 
  • Government Support: Taking advantage of Vietnam's proactive policies to attract foreign investment in key industrial sectors, particularly in high-value manufacturing. 

Savills Vietnam, with its deep understanding of the local industrial market and extensive network, is the trusted partner for Chinese manufacturers seeking to establish or expand their operations in Vietnam. Our expert team provides comprehensive advisory services, including market entry strategies, site selection, legal and regulatory guidance, and transaction support.
