With resilience and adaptability to global challenges, Vietnam continues to emerge as not only a global manufacturing hub but also an increasingly important market economy.

While the United States remains by far the largest export partner with almost 30% of Vietnam’s total export in 2022, Asia and the European Union also play significant roles as buyers of “Made in Vietnam” products. This creates a prime opportunity for exporters to tap into these lucrative markets and expand their global footprint. Moreover, Vietnam's strategic location in Southeast Asia offers convenient access to a vast consumer base, enabling businesses to capitalize on the growing middle class and their increasing demand for quality imported goods.

Notably, Vietnam stands out in the region with its numerous free trade agreements, underscoring its integration into global trade flows. These agreements include the EU-Vietnam Trade Agreement (EVFTA), the United Kingdom – Vietnam Free Trade Agreement UKVFTA, and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), providing unparalleled opportunities for international trade.
