Vietnam’s FDI sector dominates exports amid global supply chain shifts
At a forum in Ho Chi Minh City yesterday, experts highlighted Vietnam’s deep integration into global supply chains, with foreign direct investment driving over 80 percent of export turnover in the first seven months of 2026.
Vietnam's foreign direct investment (FDI) sector has become a dominant force in the country's exports, accounting for over 80 percent of total export turnover in the first seven months of 2026. This significant contribution was highlighted at a forum in Ho Chi Minh City, where experts discussed Vietnam's deep integration into global supply chains.
The FDI sector's growth, which reached US$255.89 billion (a 26.4 percent increase), represents a substantial portion of the total export turnover of $319.53 billion. This integration extends beyond output, as domestic production relies on imported raw materials and components, making it vulnerable to fluctuations in global supply chains.
The shift in supply chain dynamics now requires corporations to meet higher standards, manage data effectively, and ensure rapid delivery, presenting an opportunity for Vietnam and ASEAN to enhance their standing in the global value chain.
