Vietnam’s logistics industry faces high costs, green transition and digital transformation demands, but also opportunities from global trade restructuring.
Vietnam Logistics Amid Global Trade Restructuring
International trade is entering a new phase as global supply chains become increasingly fragmented, shifting toward regionalization and placing stronger emphasis on sustainability. This presents both opportunities and challenges for the Vietnam logistics industry, especially as the demands for digital transformation and green logistics become more urgent.

Challenges for Vietnam’s Logistics Industry
Logistics costs in Vietnam account for 16.8% of GDP, higher than the global average of 10–12%, putting pressure on the competitiveness of export goods.
In addition, Vietnamese logistics enterprises must adapt to:
-
Strict regulations on rules of origin and new-generation free trade agreements.
-
Pressure to invest in digital technologies and clean energy.
-
The growing need to develop multimodal logistics to optimize transportation.
Solutions to Enhance Competitiveness
Multimodal Logistics
Integrating sea, road, and air transport helps optimize costs and shorten delivery times.
Digital Transformation in Logistics
Applying AI, Blockchain, and Big Data to ensure data transparency, prevent fraud, and streamline customs procedures.
Green Logistics
Investing in electric vehicles, clean fuels, and eco-friendly warehouses to meet international sustainability standards.
Opportunities for Vietnam’s Logistics Industry
The FIATA World Congress 2025 in Hanoi will bring together international experts and global corporate leaders, creating an opportunity for Vietnam to assert its position as an emerging logistics hub in Asia.
With the right strategies in green logistics, multimodal logistics and digital transformation, Vietnam’s logistics industry can turn challenges into driving forces, enhance competitiveness, and affirm its role in the global trade flow.
