Customer Testimonials
Hear What They Say
Qingling Motors
“On-the-ground implementation was much smoother than we expected.”
During the site selection and policy evaluation phase for our project in a Hanoi industrial park in Vietnam, the Vanzbon team provided several alternative site options and supported multiple rounds of communication with the park and relevant authorities. In the end, we selected a plot with a good balance of cost and supporting facilities. Although there were some plan adjustments along the way, the overall timeline and cost control were basically in line with our expectations.

“It significantly reduced the time we needed to explore the local market.”
In pushing forward our new energy vehicle project in Vietnam, Vanzbon mainly helped us sort out local policy and compliance requirements, and connected us with several local partners. This allowed us to quickly understand key steps such as approvals and filings. Compared with exploring everything on our own, both access to local information and communication efficiency improved significantly.

“They provided highly valuable local support at critical stages.”
Our Vietnam project faced a tight schedule and many moving parts. We needed to advance site evaluation, policy consulting, and partner communication in parallel. Vanzbon worked closely with us on local research, policy interpretation, and communication with relevant institutions. Whenever uncertainties arose, they quickly proposed alternative options, which clearly helped us keep the overall project on track.
Mr. Johnson
Global Business Director
Baoneng Group
“They played a substantial supporting role in both decision-making and execution.”
At the project initiation stage of our cross-border investment in Vietnam, Vanzbon combined our budget and overall plan to provide several calculated market entry paths with risk analyses, and also supported us in dealing with approvals and some strategic partners. Although we still had to go through multiple internal discussions, the data and proposals they provided served as solid reference points for our final decisions.

Enabling Efficient Market Entry & Seizing Opportunities in Vietnam
Top Industries to Invest in Vietnam by 2025
Vietnam’s light manufacturing covers household goods, plastics, and a wide range of daily necessities. Ample labor supply, competitive industrial park rents, and tax incentives lower operating costs. With free trade agreements like RCEP and EVFTA, tariffs on exports to China, the EU, U.S., and ASEAN are greatly reduced, creating broader opportunities for brands and contract manufacturers.
Vietnam is the world’s second-largest textile exporter, with exports around USD 42 billion in 2023 and an 18% share of the EU market. CPTPP and UKVFTA allow zero-tariff exports to Canada and the UK. Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang are establishing green textile parks, offering 5–8% subsidies for using recycled fibers. Vietnam’s vertical integration from yarn to garment shortens lead times, outperforming neighboring countries.
Vietnam’s electricity demand grows about 10% annually, aiming for 30% renewables by 2030. The government provides FIT rates (USD 0.08–0.09/kWh) and land rental incentives for wind power. With around 3,260 km of coastline and an average 2,000 sunshine hours per year, Vietnam is ideal for solar and wind; PowerChina and Jinko Solar have built Southeast Asia’s largest solar park in Ninh Thuan Province.
Vietnam’s e-commerce is booming, expected to reach USD 32 billion by 2025 with annual growth over 25%. Seventy percent of the population is under 35, mobile payments are widespread, and foreign investors can fully own e-commerce platforms. Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City have set up digital economy zones, while faster China–Vietnam rail links enable 3-day parcel delivery, driving rapid growth in e-commerce and digital services.
Vietnam is the world’s second-largest coffee exporter and third-largest rice exporter, but deep processing remains limited, offering ample room for value-added growth. Under RCEP, tariffs on durian, dragon fruit, etc. are reduced to zero. In the Mekong Delta, agricultural park rent is about USD 1.5/m²/year, with clear land and labor cost advantages—ideal for deeper agricultural processing.
Vietnam’s aging population is driving the healthcare market toward USD 22 billion by 2025. Foreign pharmaceutical firms enjoy a 15% corporate tax rate (5% lower than the standard). About 90% of high-end medical devices are imported, and local production can reduce costs by 40%. Establishing operations in Vietnam also secures ASEAN GMP certification, tapping into a 600-million-strong regional market.
Vietnam’s labor costs are about one-third of China’s, and exports to the EU and U.S. via CPTPP and EVFTA enjoy zero tariffs. Samsung and Foxconn have established complete supply chains in Bac Ninh and Hai Phong; high-tech manufacturing benefits from “four years tax-free, nine years half-rate,” making Vietnam highly attractive for investment.
