January 2025 witnessed a significant surge in Vietnam’s outbound investment, with total capital reaching over $83 million, an increase of 5.1 times year-over-year. This trend reflects Vietnamese enterprises' expanding global footprint, capitalizing on new investment opportunities in international markets.
Capital Flowing into Manufacturing and Mining
With 74.2% of total outbound investment directed toward the manufacturing sector, Vietnamese businesses are leveraging global supply chains to enhance production and processing capabilities in strategic markets. The mining sector also experienced a major breakthrough, accounting for 22.5% of total investment, representing a 4.7-fold increase compared to the same period last year.
Expanding into High-Potential Markets
January 2025 marked a strong push into emerging markets, with the Philippines (39.4% of total capital) and Indonesia (37.4%) becoming key destinations—markets that previously saw little Vietnamese investment. Laos remains a preferred destination, attracting 22.3% of total investment, 4.4 times higher than the previous year.
Total Outbound Investment Reaches $22.68 Billions
As of January 2025, Vietnam had 1,836 active outbound investment projects, totaling $22.68 billion in capital. The top sectors attracting Vietnamese investment include mining ($7 billion, 31% of total investment), agriculture-forestry-fisheries ($3.4 billion, 15%), and telecommunications & media ($2.84 billion, 13%). Laos, Cambodia, and Venezuela remain top investment destinations for Vietnamese businesses.
A Golden Opportunity for Global Expansion
This strong growth trend highlights Vietnamese enterprises' readiness to expand on an international scale, integrate into global value chains, and diversify market reach. With increasing investment in manufacturing, mining, and high-tech industries, now is the perfect time for investors to seize opportunities, expand their global footprint, and elevate Vietnam’s brand presence on the international stage.
