Vietnam’s Q3 GDP Growth Reaches 8.23%: Momentum Builds for Industrial and Manufacturing Investment

Vietnam’s economy continued to demonstrate exceptional resilience and dynamism in the third quarter of 2025, recording a remarkable 8.23% year-on-year GDP growth — one of the highest rates in over a decade.

This surge reflects the strong recovery of key sectors including manufacturing, construction, services, and trade, alongside stable macroeconomic conditions and sustained inflows of foreign direct investment (FDI). As global manufacturers continue diversifying their supply chains, Vietnam’s economic fundamentals position the country as one of Asia’s most attractive destinations for industrial and logistics expansion.

Industrial and Construction Sectors Lead the Way for GDP growth

The industry and construction sector, the backbone of Vietnam’s growth—expanded by 8.55% in Q3. Notably, the manufacturing and processing industry grew 9.92%, cementing Vietnam’s reputation as a high-performance manufacturing hub.

The northern provinces, including Hai Phong and Bac Ninh, remain major growth engines, thanks to improved infrastructure, proximity to ports, and investor-friendly policies. These regions continue to attract international tenants seeking modern, ready-built factories that can support export-oriented production.

At Core5 Vietnam, our industrial parks in Hai Phong and Tay Hai Phong are strategically located within these high-growth corridors. Each facility is designed to meet global tenants’ operational and ESG requirements, offering scalability, energy efficiency, and seamless connectivity to Vietnam’s logistics network.

Services and Logistics Strengthen the GDP Growth Cycle

The services sector also posted robust growth of 8.49%, contributing more than half of the total GDP increase. This rebound was driven by tourism recovery, logistics expansion, and domestic consumption—creating new momentum for demand in commercial and warehousing real estate.

The synergy between industrial and service growth has reinforced Vietnam’s long-term competitiveness. As e-commerce, manufacturing, and logistics activities scale up, the need for high-quality industrial space, such as Core5’s sustainable, ready-built factories—becomes even more critical to support business agility and export performance.

Trade and Inflation Remain in Check

Vietnam’s total import–export turnover reached USD 680.66 billion in the first nine months of 2025, up 17.3% year-on-year. Exports grew by 16%, while imports rose 18.8%, resulting in a trade surplus of USD 16.82 billion. These figures underscore the resilience of Vietnam’s manufacturing base and the continued confidence of international buyers.

Meanwhile, inflation remained well-managed. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by just 3.38% year-on-year, maintaining a stable macroeconomic environment that supports long-term business and investment planning.

Business Formation and FDI: Strong Signs of Confidence

In the first nine months of 2025, more than 231,000 enterprises were newly registered or resumed operations—an increase of 26.4% compared to the same period last year. This growth in business activity signals renewed optimism among both domestic and international investors.

The government’s accelerated public investment program also continues to support growth. Over VND 1.11 quadrillion was allocated for infrastructure projects in 2025, with a focus on transportation, logistics, and industrial connectivity. The disbursement rate—at more than 51% by September—shows steady progress in improving Vietnam’s national logistics ecosystem.

These policy directions align with Core5 Vietnam’s vision: building industrial ecosystems that integrate sustainability, efficiency, and accessibility. Each Core5 project is positioned to help manufacturers minimize setup time, optimize costs, and enhance environmental performance through modern facility design.

Opportunities Ahead for Industrial Investors

Vietnam’s Q3 economic momentum reaffirms the country’s strategic role as an industrial and logistics hub for Asia. With strong GDP growth, stable inflation, and a clear infrastructure development roadmap, the conditions for industrial expansion are ideal.

As supply chain diversification accelerates globally, tenants and investors seeking operational resilience will continue to look to Vietnam. Core5 Vietnam’s ready-built factory solutions offer a competitive entry point for manufacturers entering or expanding within this market—combining international standards with local market insight.
