Markkinamahdollisuudet Vietnamissa 

A growing middle class, urbanization and higher standards of living are expected to continue to drive long-term growth in Vietnam's food industry. Increased consumer spending, lifestyle changes and urbanization have made Vietnam an attractive retail market for food exports. Also Finnish food and beverages have been promoted in Vietnam. Potential sectors for Finnish exports include meat, fish, berries, oat drinks, alcoholic drinks and dairy products.

Vietnam has achieved rapid socio-economic development in recent decades and has positioned itself to become a global manufacturing hub. While Vietnam's economic achievements are notable, they have had a heavy toll on the environment. The country has urbanized fast and its cities are in big need for clean solutions and technologies. Water resource management, which is vital for sustainable development, is very much lagging behind and an alarming proportion of waste is not properly treated. This country outlook pictures the water and wastewater sector’s current status and practices, with an aim to help Finnish stakeholders in finding business opportunities in Vietnam.

Vietnam has become a leading export country of wood and wood products in the world. The export value of wood and wood products from Vietnam increased in 2022 but it was much lower than businesses’ expectations in recent years. To compete with wood enterprises in other countries in the world, Vietnamese enterprises need technological innovations to reduce costs, utilize input materials and improve product quality.
