In Vietnam, the trend of industrial parks attached with seaports is growing more and promoted effectively.

Experience from industrial development in coastal provinces of some countries such as China and Thailand shows that the main industries that are prioritized to attract investment in these countries are outstanding chemicals, pharmaceuticals, machinery, automotive auxiliaries and electronics.
Therefore, Vietnam’s coastal area is expected to have a similar trend, receiving more investment demand from both domestic enterprises expanding production and multinational corporations, experts said.
