Hai Phong, a key port city in northern Vietnam, has become an industrial powerhouse, attracting substantial domestic and foreign investments. Spanning approximately 1,519 km² and home to a population of 2 million people as of 2023[1], the city has experienced strong economic growth, with a 10% increase in GDP in 2023, ranking 5th nationwide and 2nd in the Red River Delta region[2]. Situated along a 125 km coastline and just an hour’s drive from Hanoi, Hai Phong benefits from strategic geographic advantages. It is the only region in Vietnam equipped with all five major types of transportation infrastructure- road, rail, waterway, air, and sea—and boasts nearly 40 large and small seaports, solidifying its position as a vital player in the nation’s economic landscape.
As of 2023, Hai Phong has established 14 industrial parks covering approximately 6,000 ha. Notably, total investment value in industrial parks reached 1 billion USD, accounts for 30% of Hai Phong FDI in 2023. Korea leads as the largest investor, account for 41% of registered capital, follow by 15% for Japan and other major investors from Taiwan, Singapore, etc[3]. Earlier in 2023, Hai Phong was selected by the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) as one of the cities to develop E-co Industrial Parks to align with the global trend of sustainable growth[4]. Additionally, Hai Phong’s abundant labor force, skilled workers, and lower costs compared to other leading industrial regions like Bac Ninh – Bac Giang or Binh Duong – Dong Nai make it an ideal destination for investors looking to enter the Vietnamese market[5].
