Why Vietnam?

Vietnam is one of Asia’s most dynamic economies, offering promising business opportunities for German companies. With an impressive GDP growth of 7.09% in 2024 and a forecast of 8% for 2025, the country is on a strong growth trajectory. Driven by rising exports, foreign direct investment, and increasing domestic demand, Vietnam is becoming an increasingly attractive investment destination.

More than 530 German companies are already active in Vietnam, and bilateral trade between Germany and Vietnam grew by 9.6% in 2024, reaching €18.8 billion—bucking the overall trend of declining German foreign trade.

Key advantages of Vietnam:

• Stable economic framework
• Attractive investment incentives & free trade agreements
• Expanding middle class with rising purchasing power
• Strategic alternative under the China+1 strategy
• Promising market for skilled labor recruitment
