On October 5th, the U.S.-based financial analysis platform ainvest.com published an article praising Vietnam’s robust economic growth.
The primary driver is industrial production, surging 10.8%, with electronics, textiles, and services rebounding strongly post-pandemic. Foreign direct investment (FDI) reached $21.5 billion in the first half of 2025, a five-year high, with 56.5% allocated to manufacturing and 19% to electronics. According to ainvest.com, Vietnam’s incentives and improving infrastructure make renewable energy and digital technology increasingly attractive to global investors.
Despite challenges from tariffs and climate change, 7.85% growth in the first nine months highlights Vietnam’s resilience and adaptability through policy reforms and economic diversification.
Three Pillars Driving Growth
The report identifies three key sectors fueling growth: industry, agriculture, and services. The industrial and construction sector contributed 9.46%, driven by manufacturing’s 24.43% GDP share. Services rebounded strongly, adding 8.54%, particularly in retail and tourism. Despite climate impacts, agriculture, forestry, and fisheries grew positively, contributing 3.74%, with fisheries up 3.56%.
Savills, a UK-based real estate services firm, reports that Vietnam’s FDI hit a five-year high of $21.5 billion in the first half of 2025. Manufacturing accounted for 56.5% of total registered capital, led by electronics and machinery. Electronics, computing, and optics alone attracted 19% of new FDI projects, totaling 99 initiatives.
Renewable energy also saw significant progress. S&P Global forecasts Vietnam’s electricity demand will rise 12–13% in 2025, with companies like Japan’s Shizuoka Gas and Germany’s PNE Group investing in solar and offshore wind projects. The firm commends Vietnam’s streamlined procedures and tax incentives for green energy.
Digital services and logistics remain investor magnets. Pre-built factories accounted for 54% of new projects in the first half (Savills), helping firms shorten production times, especially in electronics and packaging. Incentives for AI, fintech, cloud computing, and digital government reforms further enhance Vietnam’s appeal.
Citing Reuters, ainvest.com attributes Vietnam’s growth to structural reforms like Doi Moi 2.0, which boosts capital formation and digital infrastructure. The article highlights high-tech manufacturing, renewable energy, and digital services as prime investment opportunities, backed by Vietnam’s competitive advantages and clear policies.
ainvest.com notes that Q3 2025’s strong growth reflects Vietnam’s strategic position in global value chains and proactive policy framework. For international investors, the question is no longer whether Vietnam is a growth story, but “which sectors to invest in within this dynamic economy.”
