Vietnam's transport and logistics market is estimated to grow at a compoundannual growth rate (CAGR) of 7% in the 2021-2026 period. The Vietnamesegovernment encourages enterprises manufacturing and attracts investment byestablishing industrial and economic zones. Despite challenges from theCOVID-19 pandemic, this industry still thrives thanks to opportunities broughtabout by domestic production and consumption, economic growth, free trade agreements (FTAs) and the e-commerce boom.
According to Matthew Powell, Director of Savills Hanoi, Vietnam is adestination for many businesses in the manufacturing and logistics sectors,especially before the development of the e-commerce industry. This is coupledwith an increased demand for high quality industrial real estate.
Currently, many businesses find it difficult in the search for locations fortheir factories and warehouses. Industrial parks and warehouse logistics,especially around big cities like Hanoi, have high occupancy rates evenup to nearly 100% in many places. The supply of industrial real estate is fallingto keep up with the demand of enterprises.
This offers an opportunity for international real estate developers to investin Vietnam, he said.
Many investors are seizing the opportunity to launch products that are suitablefor the market, therefore, the supply shortage will soon be resolved in thecoming months, Powell said./.
