The Government of Vietnam has approved a national programme for 2026–2035 aimed at strengthening supporting industries to enhance domestic manufacturing capabilities and reduce reliance on imported components and materials. Approved under Decision No. 929/QĐ-TTg on May 25, 2026, the initiative seeks to increase localisation rates, improve enterprise competitiveness and deepen participation in regional and global supply chains.
The programme establishes sector-specific localisation targets by 2030, including 25–30 per cent for electronics, 40 per cent for mechanical engineering and manufacturing, 22–30 per cent for automotive manufacturing, around 60 per cent for textiles, 60–65 per cent for footwear and approximately 15 per cent for high-technology industries. Authorities also aim to place Vietnam among the top three ASEAN countries in industrial competitiveness. The strategy incorporates technology development, digital transformation, energy efficiency and environmental sustainability measures as part of broader industrial modernisation objectives.
The programme also includes support measures for enterprise development and innovation capabilities. By 2030, approximately 600 companies are expected to receive training and consultancy support to align management systems with international standards, while 80 enterprises will receive assistance to strengthen research and development activities. The Ministry of Industry and Trade stated that implementation will focus on policy frameworks, technology and workforce development, industrial databases and market connectivity to strengthen cooperation between domestic and international manufacturers operating in Vietnam.
