Experts from Savills Vietnam report that the highest level of foreign direct investment (FDI) disbursement in five years has sparked a new growth wave for the Integrated Facilities Management (IFM) market in Vietnam, positioning the country as a standout in the emerging IFM market group. IFM is a comprehensive management model for facilities, integrating technical operations, equipment maintenance, energy management, security, cleaning, and other support services. This approach helps businesses enhance operational efficiency, optimize costs, and comply with international ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards.

According to the General Statistics Office (Ministry of Finance), foreign investment attraction in the first 11 months of 2025 continued to show positive figures, with registered capital reaching nearly 33.7 billion USD and disbursed capital hitting 23.6 billion USD—the highest level in five years.

This capital influx is laying a solid foundation for the demand for IFM services in factories, logistics centers, and office buildings, particularly as foreign investors continue to expand production in Vietnam.

International market research and consulting firm Mordor Intelligence analyzes that the global IFM market is on a strong growth trajectory, projected to reach 270 billion USD by 2030 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. This reflects the growing demand for operational optimization, cost reduction, and safety standard enhancement in production and commercial facilities.

The Asia-Pacific region remains the primary growth driver, fueled by industrial expansion, rapid urbanization, and robust digital transformation.

In this context, Vietnam is emerging as a highlight in the ASEAN region’s burgeoning IFM market, with an estimated annual growth rate of 7–9% in the commercial and industrial segments—higher than the global average.

Key growth drivers include sustainable FDI inflows, the “China+1” manufacturing shift, and accelerating urbanization.

Savills Vietnam experts note that the domestic market is rapidly transitioning from single-service contracts to more comprehensive and efficient IFM solutions. This shift is driven by the need to optimize operational costs (OPEX), adopt digital management platforms, and ensure compliance with international safety and ESG standards.

The outsourced IFM segment is experiencing the fastest growth (CAGR 7.8%), as businesses prioritize partnerships with specialized providers to improve operational efficiency and quality.

Commenting on market trends, Mr. Luca Vadala, National Business Development Director for IFM services at Savills Vietnam, stated that strong FDI inflows, industrial development, and rapid urbanization are fueling a new growth wave for Vietnam’s IFM sector. This growth spans various facility types, including factories, logistics centers, and corporate offices.

In this dynamic environment, Vietnam’s IFM market is projected to double by 2030, reaching approximately 662 billion USD—as shared by Mr. Luca Vadala./.
