a. Economic landscape in Ho Chi Minh City
- Currently, Ho Chi Minh City, also known as Saigon, is the economic, financial, and commercial center of Vietnam. With a population of over 9 million people, Ho Chi Minh City contributes up to 22% of the national GDP. However, the city also faces several economic challenges.

- One of the issues affecting Ho Chi Minh City’s economy is the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has severely impacted many economic sectors, especially tourism and services. The city implemented disease prevention measures such as social distancing and lockdowns to control the pandemic, which simultaneously negatively affected the economy.
- Another issue is the shortage of high-quality labor. Ho Chi Minh City is focusing on developing high-tech and innovative industries but faces difficulties in recruiting skilled human resources for these sectors.
- Another challenge is the competitiveness of local businesses. Companies in Ho Chi Minh City face strong competition from foreign enterprises, particularly those from China and South Korea. Facing this competition requires businesses to enhance their competitiveness and innovate to retain customers and expand their market.
- Additionally, the city is also confronting other issues such as environmental pollution, uneven development among districts, social welfare concerns, and more. Nevertheless, with the efforts of local authorities and contributions from businesses and residents, Ho Chi Minh City is gradually overcoming these challenges and achieving sustainable development.
b. Manufacturing sector in Ho Chi Minh City
- Ho Chi Minh City has a diverse economy developing across multiple sectors, with the manufacturing sector playing a crucial role.
- According to statistics from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Industry and Trade, industrial and processing manufacturing accounts for a large proportion of the city’s economic structure. In 2021, industrial production in Ho Chi Minh City reached a total value of approximately 340.2 trillion VND, representing around 56.4% of the country’s total industrial output.
- The manufacturing sector in Ho Chi Minh City includes diverse and developed industries such as automobile manufacturing, electronics, construction materials, food, pharmaceuticals, textiles, footwear, processed agricultural products, and other industrial products. The automobile manufacturing industry is particularly strong, attracting significant interest from investors. Notably, the city hosts many large industrial clusters, such as Saigon Hi-Tech Industrial Park, Tan Thuan Industrial Park, Tan Binh Industrial Park, Linh Trung Industrial Park, Tan Phu Trung Industrial Park, Bau Xeo Industrial Park, Cat Lai Industrial Park, Cau Tram Industrial Park…
- However, the manufacturing sector in Ho Chi Minh City still faces several challenges, including high land prices and labor costs, regional and global competition pressures, difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and environmental and labor safety issues. Additionally, administrative reforms, increased business support, and improving the quality of human resources are essential measures to promote sustainable development in the manufacturing sector.
c. Construction sector in Ho Chi Minh City
- Currently, the construction sector in Ho Chi Minh City is developing rapidly with many opportunities but also faces several challenges.
- According to statistics from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Construction, in 2021, the construction sector contributed approximately 7.5% to the city’s GDP. Large projects such as high-rise buildings, new urban areas, and transportation projects are being implemented and completed. Additionally, projects on renewable energy, flood prevention, pollution control, and urban infrastructure development are underway.
- However, the construction sector faces significant challenges, particularly in sustainable development and environmental pollution control. The city deals with traffic congestion, air pollution, and waste, while construction projects continue to exacerbate these issues. Therefore, applying green construction technologies, using eco-friendly materials, and implementing smart urban design are essential.
- Secondly, the construction sector also faces labor safety issues. Construction sites carry high risks of accidents, requiring contractors and workers to strictly comply with labor safety regulations to protect the lives and health of employees.
- Thus, promoting sustainable development solutions, applying new technologies, and strengthening labor safety management are crucial for the construction sector to grow sustainably and contribute positively to the city’s economic development.
