The trend of developing industrial zone attached to seaports

The formation of industrial parks attached to seaports has become an inevitable trend. Not only serving socio-economic development but also one of the factors that serve for port logistics services, for the development of the logistics industry. In Vietnam, the trend of industrial parks attached with seaports is growing more and promoted effectively.

According to CBRE experts, economic zones and industrial parks located near the sea always have a great investment demand and maintain outstanding prices and occupancy rates. 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. Following this trend, Vietnam’s coastal provinces will take advantage of the available potential to develop the industry.
