Vietnam’s logistics sector is emerging as a key growth engine, supported by strong manufacturing activity, rapid e-commerce expansion, and large-scale infrastructure investment. Valued at over USD 52 billion in 2025, the market is projected to grow steadily toward 2030, underpinned by improving logistics performance and rising demand for value-added services. However, high logistics costs, infrastructure bottlenecks, workforce skill gaps, and regulatory complexity remain significant challenges.

Approximately 89% are fully domestic-owned enterprises, while the remainder are foreign-invested companies. It is estimated that the logistics sector employs nearly 1.2 million workers nationwide[1].
Market size and Growth trajectory

The sector’s market size is estimated at USD 52.06 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 71.88 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.67% during the forecast period (2025-2030)[2].

Investment situation
As of the end of 2024, Vietnam had a cumulative total of 1,238 FDI projects invested in the logistics sector, generating employment for 63,515 workers, including nearly 30 of the world’s leading logistics groups such as DHL, Schenker, Expeditors[5].

Logistics enterprises landscape
Although the number of newly established logistics enterprises increased by 13.5% (with approximately 6,503 companies formed, accounting for 5.33% of all newly established enterprises in the first nine months of 2024), the industry continues to face significant cost challenges, as logistics costs still account for around 16.5%-16.8% of GDP, well above the global average of 11.6%[6]. At the same time, 4,519 transport and warehousing enterprises temporarily suspended operations. Overall, while several logistics companies have achieved stable and impressive growth, small and medium-sized logistics firms have experienced declining business performance, incurred losses, and, in some cases, exited the market altogether.
