Over the past decade, Vietnam has established itself as a major hub for electronics manufacturing, attracting significant foreign investment from global technology giants such as Samsung, Intel, and LG. This growth is fueled by several factors, including the country’s competitive labor costs, strategic geographical location, and robust industrial policies. Vietnam offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional manufacturing powerhouses like China, which has led many companies to set up production facilities in the country. The availability of a skilled workforce, coupled with the government's proactive measures to improve infrastructure and provide investment incentives, has further strengthened Vietnam’s position in the global electronics supply chain. The electronics manufacturing sector in Vietnam primarily focuses on the assembly and testing of electronic products, which heavily rely on semiconductor components such as microchips, sensors, and integrated circuits. The increasing production volumes of consumer electronics like smartphones, tablets, and laptops are driving the demand for these semiconductor components. Moreover, the rise of emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, and artificial intelligence (AI) is accelerating the need for more advanced and specialized semiconductor solutions. The Vietnamese government’s initiatives, such as tax incentives, streamlined regulatory processes, and investment in high-tech industrial zones, are aimed at fostering a conducive environment for semiconductor companies. Additionally, collaborations between Vietnamese universities and international tech firms are helping to develop a skilled workforce capable of supporting the sophisticated requirements of semiconductor manufacturing. As the electronics manufacturing sector continues to expand, the demand for semiconductor components is expected to rise significantly, making it a vital driver for the growth of the semiconductor market in Vietnam. Despite the promising growth, one of the major challenges facing the Vietnam semiconductor market is the limited domestic manufacturing capabilities for semiconductor wafers and chips. While Vietnam has made significant strides in the assembly and testing segments of the semiconductor value chain, the country still lacks the advanced fabrication facilities required for producing semiconductor wafers. Building and operating semiconductor fabs require substantial capital investment, cutting-edge technology, and a highly specialized workforce, areas where Vietnam currently lags behind more established semiconductor manufacturing nations like Taiwan, South Korea, and the United States. This dependency on foreign countries for semiconductor wafers poses a significant vulnerability, particularly in times of global supply chain disruptions. The COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions have highlighted the risks associated with over-reliance on a few major semiconductor producers. Furthermore, the lack of local fabrication capabilities limits Vietnam’s ability to fully integrate into the high-value segments of the semiconductor industry, such as design and innovation. The country’s semiconductor sector is thus primarily focused on lower value-added activities, which constrains its overall growth potential and profitability. To address this challenge, Vietnam needs to attract more foreign direct investment specifically targeted at building semiconductor fabs. This involves not only providing financial incentives but also enhancing the overall ecosystem, including infrastructure development, R&D capabilities, and industry-academia collaboration. The government must also prioritize upskilling the local workforce and fostering partnerships with leading global semiconductor companies to facilitate technology transfer and capacity building. Overcoming the challenge of limited domestic manufacturing capabilities is crucial for Vietnam to move up the semiconductor value chain and achieve sustainable growth in this highly competitive and technologically advanced industry.
