B&Company is pleased to announce the completion of our Vietnam Business White Book 2025- the inaugural edition of what we plan to develop into an ongoing White Book series on Vietnam. Since we first introduced this project last year, we have received over 100 reservations, for which we are truly grateful. The Vietnam Business White Book 2025 was approximately 125 pages, which aims to help foreign companies better understand the local market and explore business opportunities in Vietnam.

A Core Theme: “The Challenge of Creating New Industries”

The overarching theme of this book is “The Challenge of Creating New Industries.” While Vietnam already possesses several strong industries, its creation of added value remains insufficient. Therefore, amid global transformation and within its strategy to become a high-income country, the Vietnamese government aims to build new, major industries in areas like semiconductors, AI, and the environment. This requires elevating social systems like human resource development and infrastructure such as energy and logistics to significantly higher levels.

This presents a major opportunity for companies, and their long-term prospects will hinge on success in this “industry creation” phase. With this in mind, B&Company selected the sectors featured in the White Book to align with Vietnam’s priority growth areas and the structural shifts shaping the market.

Why This White Book Is Different

While many market entry guides and macro-level overviews of Vietnam are available, few publications provide a cross-industry, structured summary of Vietnam’s current landscape in a way that is both practical and engaging for business readers.　To address this gap, Vietnam Business White Book 2025 adopts a distinctive approach:

1. Provide an overview of the interconnectedness of Vietnam’s economy across diverse industries
2. Include insights useful even for readers outside the industry
3. Structure the content to be engaging as a read, covering the background of changes and the movements of major companies
4. Minimize information available elsewhere (books/web) by adopting unique perspectives
5. Keep the volume manageable for practitioners to read through

During development, our team often debated how deeply to dive into each theme within a limited number of pages per sector. Ideally, each topic could justify its own dedicated publication—such as a “Logistics White Paper” or “E-Commerce White Paper.” For this edition, however, we made a deliberate decision to streamline and omit certain points, prioritizing readability and multidimensional understanding. We believe that completing this single volume provides readers with a clear, cross-sector view of Vietnam’s most important growth areas.

Supporting Your Strategic Planning in Vietnam

We hope this White Book provides helpful fundamentals for doing business in Vietnam and supports your strategic planning for the year ahead. If you are exploring new ideas or considering expanding your activities in Vietnam, please feel free to reach out to B&Company. We would be glad to discuss how our research and consulting support can help you evaluate opportunities, develop market entry strategies, and build long-term success in Vietnam.

Since its founding, B&Company has supported market research and business planning for companies and government agencies worldwide, primarily Japanese firms. Accurate information is indispensable for doing business in Vietnam. With the dramatic increase in available information today, what corporate activities now require is information with the following characteristics:

1. Focus and Depth: Content that goes beyond economic overviews to delve into specific products and services
2. Comprehensive Overview and Balance: Information that provides a broad perspective on the entire theme, avoiding bias toward specific events
3. Fact-Based Accuracy: Continuous updates to keep pace with a rapidly changing environment

While these elements can sometimes be contradictory, we strive to improve accuracy through cross-referencing multiple sources and obtaining primary information
