Vietnam's industrial real estate market faces short-term impacts from the US's reciprocal tax policy, but investors are trying to "pivot" to maintain their role as a bright spot in attracting FDI.
Create new competitive advantages
At Viglacera’s annual general meeting of shareholders, the company’s leaders said they would continue to develop new industrial parks (IPs) in localities with advantageous infrastructure, the ability to attract investment and operate effectively. At the same time, the company would promote cooperation with financially capable enterprises to increase utilities and enhance the IP brand.
Viglacera owns 16 industrial parks at home and abroad, attracting more than 400 investors with a total land fund of more than 4,500 hectares.
This year alone, Viglacera's goal is to increase the total area to 6,000-7,000 hectares in localities such as Bac Ninh , Phu Tho, Quang Ninh, Thai Nguyen, Hung Yen, Thai Binh, Lang Son, Yen Bai, Khanh Hoa,... and at the same time establish new legal entities and branches for implementation.
The business representative emphasized that in order to develop a green and smart industrial park, it is necessary to focus on solutions to increase investment in energy-saving and clean energy systems. Accordingly, the entire industrial park of the unit will be newly invested with smart lighting systems that save energy and use renewable energy to serve the investor's load. This is to optimize costs and reduce emissions.
Thuan Thanh Eco-Smart IP green - smart industrial park.
The unit aims to have at least 60% of the green area using trees with high CO2 absorption rates, helping to absorb thousands of tons of CO2 per year in the first years. In addition, the unit will promote digital transformation with an AI-based security control system. The application of an integrated management system throughout the enterprise also helps improve internal management efficiency.
Meanwhile, the joint venture of GELEX Group and Frasers Property Vietnam received a strategic boost when SPX Express will build their largest automated goods sorting center in Southeast Asia at the Industrial Center Yen My (Hung Yen).
This automated goods sorting center is built on an area of 170,000 m2, as part of the overall Industrial Center Yen My project (over 256,000 m2) - an integrated high-end and sustainable industrial real estate center, providing flexible infrastructure for multi-scale businesses.
Industrial Centre Yen My is just one of many high-end industrial centres that GELEX and Frasers Property Vietnam are developing according to green building standards, meeting more stringent and diverse requirements from customers. Being quick to anticipate trends has helped the two businesses elevate their position and bring their own appeal to the market.
Laying a solid foundation for a new growth cycle
According to experts, the pressure from the US tariff policy is only a temporary factor. With increasingly complete infrastructure and support from new policies, especially Resolution 68, Vietnam continues to be considered a "golden destination" for global FDI capital flows.
In the first five months of 2025, registered FDI capital in Vietnam reached nearly 12.8 billion USD, up 10.3% over the same period last year. Notably, this capital flow is gradually shifting to high-tech sectors, carbon emission reduction and environmentally friendly supply chains.
Investors from Japan, Korea, Europe, and Singapore increasingly prioritize industrial parks with smart infrastructure (Smart IP), integrating digital technology , renewable energy, and ensuring ESG standards. This is a signal that industrial real estate investors must quickly transform their models to smart - ecological - integrated industrial parks, to maintain competitiveness and capture high-quality FDI capital flows.
Many experts say: "Vietnam needs to lay a solid foundation for a new growth cycle by prioritizing the development of green - technology - sustainability pillars. The green, integrated industrial park model will be the inevitable choice for the future."
In the context of increasingly fierce competition to attract FDI, rapid transformation towards green, digital and smart trends is not only an opportunity but also a mandatory requirement. The strategic steps from pioneering enterprises demonstrate careful preparation and long-term vision, contributing to making Vietnam a new industrial center of the region - a place where high-value, sustainable and environmentally responsible FDI flows converge.
