A Boost for Industrial Parks Expansion from Post-Merging Ho Chi Minh City

Regional Linkage: A New Impetus for Manufacturing Investment

According to the speech by General Secretary To Lam on the morning of October 14 at the 1st Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) Party Congress (term 2025–2030), the merger of HCMC with Binh Duong and Ba Ria - Vung Tau provinces is a significant turning point in the development strategy for the southern key economic region.

This "super-city" model is expected to form a unified economic space, creating favorable conditions for manufacturing investment, logistics, and trade services, contributing to promoting green, smart, and sustainable growth.

Breakthrough Opportunities for Industrial Parks and Manufacturing Enterprises

The merger of the three localities helps connect the unique strengths of each region:

• Ho Chi Minh City: The center for finance, services, and high technology.

• Binh Duong: The industrial nucleus with a modern industrial park system and an abundant supply of factories for rent.

• Ba Ria - Vung Tau: The seaport gateway, logistics, and energy hub.

When inter-regional infrastructure is synchronously invested, businesses can optimize their production–transportation–export supply chains, reduce operational costs, and enhance investment efficiency.

In particular, the trend of renting factories in industrial parks with complete infrastructure will continue to grow strongly, especially for FDI enterprises in precision mechanics, electronics, auto components, and renewable energy.

Direction for Businesses: Anticipating Planning and Green Infrastructure

With the vision of building a smart urban area and sustainable development, local authorities are expected to adjust industrial park planning, expand the land fund for production and support services, and prioritize green, energy-saving, and low-emission IP models.

This is an opportune time for businesses to invest in new production or rent factories to expand their scale, taking advantage of opportunities from regional planning and the shift of FDI capital to Vietnam.

Vision: Vietnam's Leading Industrial – Financial – Innovation Hub

When the "super-city" model of HCMC – Binh Duong – Ba Ria Vung Tau takes shape, this area is expected to become the largest economic–industrial–financial center in the country, comparable to other major urban centers in Asia.
