D'Andrea Partners (Italy) commented that Vietnam is in the group of 7 most promising markets in the region, thanks to the combination of a stable macroeconomic foundation, domestic reforms and new movements in the global investment environment.
According to this assessment, although still facing many challenges from the volatile international context, the prospect of foreign direct investment (FDI) into Vietnam in 2026 has a "cautious optimism" tone.
Investors continue to closely monitor geopolitical risks, interest rates and global demand, but at the same time record clear improvements in the internal capacity of the Vietnamese economy.
The macroeconomic foundation is considered a key factor creating Vietnam's attractiveness. It is expected that in 2026, Vietnam will maintain strong GDP growth thanks to the good resilience of the manufacturing sector and the stable expansion of domestic consumption.
Export-oriented industries continue to maintain positive growth momentum, despite unpredictable fluctuations in world demand.
Another notable point is the shift in the quality of human resources. Vietnam is gradually transforming from a production center heavily reliant on low-cost labor to a production model with higher added value.
The skill level, technical skills and access to technology of the labor force have been improved, creating conditions to attract FDI projects with higher technology content and value.
Infrastructure development continues to play an important role in shaping investor sentiment. The promotion of transportation, logistics, seaport and energy projects not only helps reduce production and transportation costs but also enhances Vietnam's connectivity with regional and global supply chains.
This is a key factor in the context that international businesses increasingly value the flexibility and adaptability of the production network.
In addition to basic economic factors, Vietnam is also highly appreciated for its deep integration into global trade frameworks.
The network of new generation free trade agreements helps Vietnam become an important bridge between many large markets, while bringing advantages in tariffs and market access for foreign investors.
Notably, the reform commitments of the Vietnamese Government are not only aimed at attracting capital, but also towards improving the quality of FDI capital flows.
Policies increasingly emphasize technology, innovation, sustainable development and knowledge transfer, thereby creating a foundation for long-term growth.
Considering the trend of each industry, D'Andrea Partners believes that some sectors are in a particularly favorable position to attract FDI in 2026.
Notably, high-tech manufacturing; electronics assembly, packaging and semiconductor testing; high-tech component manufacturing.
In addition, renewable energy continues to be a sector attracting great attention, while e-commerce, financial technology and cloud-based services are increasingly developing strongly.
The logistics and supply chain sectors are also forecast to enter a new growth phase, along with the expansion of production and trade.
With these fundamental factors, Vietnam is emerging as one of the leading destinations in Asia in terms of foreign investment attraction prospects, not only in scale but also in quality, in the period of strong restructuring of global capital flows.
