Growth driver and localization push

In 2025, Hai Phong City remained a national growth bright spot with GRDP up 11.81%, ranked the second nationwide and the 11th straight year of double-digit gains. FDI into economic zones and industrial parks hit USD 2.54 billion across 111 projects; domestic investment reached 364,334 billion VND via 54 projects. Cumulatively, the city hosts 1,034 FDI projects worth about USD 43 billion and 372 domestic projects exceeding 542,091 billion VND operating in these zones.

Beyond scale expansion, Hai Phong's economic growth shows clear quality gains. Processing and manufacturing led as the main growth engine at 44.4% of GRDP, up 15.93% and contributing 7.48 percentage points to overall growth. High-tech and key industries grew steadily, signaling a positive economic shift toward higher value-added and sustainable development.

Strengthening ties, refining institutions

Experts say supporting industries are not mere "follow-on" sectors, but foundational to industrial autonomy. Alongside policy frameworks and firm capacity-building, substantive supply-demand linkages between FDI and domestic enterprises are key to turning supportive industry goals into reality.

As Hai Phong expands its industrial footprint, with maturing economic zones, industrial parks, and plans for sector-specific zones, supporting industries have significant potential given the rising manufacturing sector and economic growth.

Thus, building this ecosystem is not just a short-term fix to raise localization rates but a strategic move for Hai Phong to secure production autonomy, deepen global value chain integration, and ensure long-term sustainable industrial growth.
