Vietnam Trade Pulse: What Shipping Data Reveals About Supply Chain Dynamics
Vietnam’s trade activity continued to expand strongly in 2025, supported by manufacturing growth, foreign direct investment, and regional supply chain shifts. While headline trade figures show the scale of this growth, company level shipping data provides a deeper view of which sectors are accelerating, which companies are scaling fastest, and where hidden exposure may exist across corporate groups.

Data Table
| Manufacturing is leading the acceleration | Retail Trade plays a different role | Trade activity is concentrated among major logistics and manufacturing players | Corporate linkage reveals the fuller risk picture |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing recorded the strongest acceleration ratio, showing that a significant share of its 10 year shipping volume occurred in 2025. | Retail Trade appears mainly as a consignee driven sector, reflecting its role in absorbing imported goods for domestic consumption. | The top shipping companies show the importance of international freight forwarders and foreign invested manufacturers in Vietnam’s trade ecosystem. | A single legal entity view may not show the real scale of a corporate group. Corporate linkage helps banks, procurement teams, and compliance teams understand broader group exposure. |
