WHY TO BUILD A FACTORY IN VIETNAM?
Labor Costs and Productivity
Due to rising labor costs in China, many companies are forced to relocate their production. Vietnam's wages are significantly lower than those in China and in other Asian countries. However, it is important to understand where and with whom these benefits can be realized.
Many companies miss out on huge cost opportunities by building their production in over-invested provinces. Between the South and the Center of the country, the differences in wages could be up to 50% among established industrial areas.
The Vietnamese are also considered to be the Prussians of Asia – With a relentless desire for a better future. However, without clear leadership, meaningful incentives and deliberate recruitment, the results remain below expectations. One must adapt continuously to take advantage of this young and driven work force.
Market Access
Vietnam is a market of almost 90 million people, directly adjacent to other strategically important markets of Thailand and China. Currently, Vietnam is building comprehensive Free Trade Agreements and broad logistical access with both countries.
The modernization of Vietnam's infrastructure is happening rapidly in recent years. In terms of road coverage, Vietnam is already superior to countries like Thailand and the Philippines. Nevertheless, there are still some bottlenecks especially in urban centers.
Stability
Vietnam is considered to be one of the most politically stable countries in Asia, with a sound economic policy open towards the West.The economy develops steadily and did so even during the 2008/2009 economic crisis.
Working with local authorities is still very difficult for many foreign companies. However it is even riskier to engage with obscure middle men and their promise of "simple solutions".
