Vietnam's logistics industry thrives alongside the economy.  

2025 marks a period of impressive growth for the Vietnamese economy, with GDP estimated at around 8%, laying the groundwork for a target of 10% in the following year. In this context, the logistics sector continues to affirm its vital role in the economy, acting as a bridge between production, distribution, consumption, and international integration. Parallel to socio-economic development, Vietnam is entering a phase of spatial restructuring through mergers, administrative boundary adjustments, and the planning of new growth poles. These movements facilitate the formation of large-scale economic and logistics centers, promoting synchronized investment in transportation infrastructure, seaports, warehouses, and inter-regional transport connectivity.  

Along with the recovery and acceleration of the economy, the scale of Vietnam's logistics market continues to expand both in breadth and depth. The network of logistics businesses is rapidly increasing, spanning from transportation, warehousing, forwarding, and delivery to integrated logistics and e-commerce logistics. According to the General Statistics Office, in the first 11 months of 2025, the number of newly established businesses in the transportation and warehousing sector reached 10,269, an increase of 29.3% compared to the same period, with a total registered capital of over 95.3 trillion VND and creating jobs for approximately 49,100 workers. Import and export activities continue to be an important pillar for the logistics industry, with Vietnam's total import and export turnover continuing to reach record levels, expected to exceed 910 billion USD. Of that total, exports of key product groups such as electronics, telephones, machinery, textiles, and footwear reached over US$260.7 billion, accounting for 60.6% of the country's total export turnover in the first 11 months. Domestic logistics also recorded outstanding growth, with the volume of goods transported domestically reaching 2,726 million tons, an increase of 14.8% in the first 11 months. These achievements further strengthen the role of logistics as an infrastructure lever for production and trade.  

Simultaneously, the boom in e-commerce and the digital economy is reshaping the logistics market structure, driving fulfillment models, last-mile delivery, smart warehousing, and urban logistics. According to e-Conomy SEA 2025, Vietnam's digital economy is projected to reach US$39 billion in 2025, with e-commerce continuing to be the main driver with a 14% growth rate, creating strong expansion pressure on the logistics ecosystem from warehousing and sorting to delivery. The rise of social commerce – especially TikTok Shop and livestream selling – is creating new operating standards, where logistics must meet the ability to process orders in real time. This is also driving the development of micro-fulfillment models in major cities to shorten delivery times to hours instead of days.

From the business perspective, according to a survey by Vietnam Report, the business results of logistics companies in the first nine months of 2025 continued to show positive signs, with the majority (approximately 80%) reporting increased revenue, including both increases and significant increases. However, compared to 2024, the percentage of companies reporting significant increases tended to narrow, indicating that the recovery is still ongoing but lacks the strong momentum based on the low base of the previous year, as recorded in the 2024 survey. Regarding costs, nearly half of the surveyed businesses reported significant cost increases, reflecting the impact of escalating fuel prices, rent, labor, and financial costs. This creates a two-sided picture of profitability: about half of businesses reported a significant increase in profits, but at the same time, the proportion of businesses experiencing a substantial decline in profits also increased compared to 2024, indicating that cost management and supply chain optimization are becoming decisive factors in the financial health of individual businesses.  

In the long-term orientation, Decision No. 2229/QD-TTg on the strategy for developing Vietnam's logistics services for the period 2025-2035, with a vision to 2050, has set the following goals for the next 10 years: an average annual growth rate of 12%-15% for logistics services; a contribution of 5%-7% to GDP growth; a reduction in logistics costs equivalent to 12%-15%, placing Vietnam among the top 40 countries in the LPI index; and 80% of logistics businesses applying digital transformation. In particular, the Decision also sets the goal of building at least 5 international standard logistics centers, serving as hubs linking supply chains in the region and the world.  

The overall picture for the industry is not all rosy. Vietnam's logistics costs remain high compared to many countries in the region, reflecting structural limitations in infrastructure, transport organization, and supply chain operational efficiency. While significant investment has been made in transportation infrastructure, there is still a lack of synchronization between road, rail, waterway, seaport, and air transport. Inter-regional and international connectivity is not yet optimal, resulting in high transit times and transshipment costs. Furthermore, domestic logistics businesses are mostly small and medium-sized, with limited financial capacity, technological expertise, and service integration, leading to low competitiveness compared to multinational logistics corporations.

Vietnam's low competitiveness compared to multinational logistics corporations has resulted in a continuous trade deficit in transportation services over the years during Vietnam Report's research period from 2010-2025. Data shows that the value of transportation service imports has consistently exceeded exports, reflecting a significant dependence of import and export activities on foreign shipping companies, carriers, and logistics businesses. In recent years, the deficit has continued to deepen, with the long-term nature of the deficit making it difficult to reverse in the short term. Compared to other service sectors, transportation services have the largest deficit, reaching US$7.1 billion in 2024, far exceeding other service groups such as insurance (-US$868 million) and tourism (-US$520 million). This confirms that Vietnam's trade deficit in services mainly stems from the transportation and logistics sector.  

The core reasons for this situation stem from three major limitations: (i) the domestic fleet and logistics enterprises lack sufficient capital, technology, and international networks; (ii) high-value logistics services such as ocean shipping, integrated logistics, and global supply chain management are still dominated by FDI enterprises; and (iii) high domestic logistics costs reduce the competitiveness of Vietnamese businesses. As a result, despite rapid growth in import and export turnover and a vibrant logistics market, the benefits from transportation services are not retained domestically, reducing the spillover effect of trade on economic growth.  

Regarding the structure of the transport sector, road transport continues to play a dominant role in Vietnam's freight transport system, with a significantly large volume of goods transported, approximately 75.4% still transported by road, while river and sea transport account for 24.4%, and the remainder by rail and air. Vietnam's freight transport structure is unbalanced, increasing logistics costs across the entire economy. Therefore, it is necessary to implement a comprehensive set of solutions: (i) promoting investment in multimodal infrastructure, effectively connecting road, river, sea, and rail transport; (ii) restructuring the role of rail and inland waterway transport in transporting large volumes of goods over long distances; (iii) developing a network of logistics centers and inland container depots (ICDs) in key economic regions to reduce pressure on road transport; and (iv) encouraging logistics businesses to apply digital transformation and green logistics to optimize cargo flow, reduce costs, and minimize emissions. These are key conditions for Vietnam to improve the efficiency of freight transport and the competitiveness of the entire logistics chain in the coming period.  

Driving forces behind the domestic logistics market.  

The Vietnamese logistics industry is entering a pivotal stage of development, simultaneously aligning with the overall economic growth trajectory and being strongly impacted by global supply chain restructuring, digital transformation, and the demands of sustainable development.

A stable macroeconomic environment and sustained industrial production growth continue to be crucial foundations driving the Vietnamese logistics market. In 2025, the economy will enter a period of high growth, laying the groundwork for double-digit growth in subsequent years. This is coupled with stability in inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, and other major balances, contributing to the stability of Vietnam's macroeconomic environment. Overall, for the first 11 months of 2025, the Industrial Production Index (IIP) is estimated to increase by 9.3% year-on-year (compared to 8.3% in the same period of 2024). Within this, the manufacturing sector is projected to grow by 10.6%, contributing 8.5 percentage points to the overall growth. The clear recovery in production has led to a strong increase in demand for transportation, warehousing, and distribution of goods. Maintaining a trade surplus, controlling inflation, and a relatively stable exchange rate have strengthened business confidence, creating favorable conditions for medium- and long-term plans to expand production and invest in logistics. In the coming years, with positive economic growth prospects, continued industrial production and sustained recovery in international trade, a stable macroeconomic foundation is considered the primary driving force, ensuring sustainable growth in both scale and quality of logistics demand.  

Supply chain shifts and foreign direct investment (FDI) into Vietnam continue to increase , driving strong growth in import and export activities and creating significant momentum for the logistics market. In 2024, the FDI sector continued to play a leading role in Vietnam's international trade, with exports reaching approximately US$289 billion and imports approximately US$241 billion, accounting for over 67% of the country's total trade. In the first 11 months of 2025, exports from the FDI sector are estimated to reach nearly US$328 billion, and imports approximately US$281 billion, exceeding the figures for 2024, demonstrating the continued positive expansion of production and business activities by FDI enterprises. From a regional perspective, Vietnam is currently among the leading ASEAN countries in terms of the scale of goods exports and FDI, second only to Singapore, surpassing many economies such as Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, affirming its increasingly important position in the regional supply chain. According to the General Statistics Office, FDI in the first 11 months of 2025 is estimated at US$23.6 billion, an increase of 8.9% compared to the same period last year, the highest 11-month figure in the past five years. The continuous influx of FDI into processing and manufacturing, electronics, high-tech, textile, and footwear industries has led to a huge demand for the transportation of raw materials, components, warehousing, industrial park logistics, and cross-border logistics. This is the direct driving force behind the rapid growth of the logistics market, while simultaneously forcing domestic logistics businesses to improve their operational capacity, service quality, and ability to meet increasingly stringent international standards.

Public investment has been boosted , creating a direct impetus for infrastructure development, and the logistics market continues to affirm its crucial role. In the first 11 months of 2025, investment disbursed from the State budget reached over VND 736.4 trillion, a strong increase of 26.8% compared to the same period and completing 72.2% of the annual plan, demonstrating the Government's strong determination to accelerate public investment disbursement. This capital is focused on key infrastructure projects such as the North-South Expressway (Eastern section), urban ring roads (Ring Road 3 of Ho Chi Minh City, Ring Road 4 of the Capital Region), international gateway seaports (Lach Huyen - Hai Phong, Cai Mep - Thi Vai), Long Thanh International Airport, along with a system of logistics centers and inter-regional connectivity infrastructure in key economic regions of the North, Central, and South. The synchronized investment in transportation and logistics systems not only helps shorten transportation time and reduce national logistics costs, but also enhances customs clearance capacity and increases connectivity between industrial parks, economic zones, seaports, and consumer markets.  

From a business perspective, public investment creates a strong ripple effect by stimulating demand for the transportation of construction materials and machinery, while also opening up long-term opportunities for logistics in exploiting new transport routes, developing satellite warehouses, distribution centers, and integrated logistics services. With the current high disbursement rate, public investment continues to be considered one of the fundamental drivers, providing a solid foundation for the sustainable growth of Vietnam's logistics industry in the 2025-2030 period.  

The strong and comprehensive digital transformation is becoming a key factor in enhancing the competitiveness of Vietnam's logistics industry in 2025. According to the Agility Emerging Markets Logistics Index 2025, Vietnam rose 6 places in Digital Readiness – one of the strongest improvements globally – and 2 places in Business Fundamentals. This shows that the digital capabilities of Vietnamese logistics businesses are rapidly improving, creating a favorable foundation for the application of transport management systems (TMS)/warehouse management systems (WMS), warehouse automation, and transportation optimization. Digital transformation not only helps optimize operational processes, reduce costs, and shorten delivery times, but also enhances transparency, connectivity, and the quality of logistics services. Especially in the context of rapidly developing e-commerce and cross-border logistics, digital capabilities are becoming a mandatory condition for businesses to participate deeply in the global supply chain.  

The logistics industry in Vietnam's journey towards net-zero  

Vietnam has officially declared and is gradually implementing its net-zero target by 2050. In this context, the logistics sector – the lifeblood of the economy – is both a major emitter and plays a crucial role in spreading emission reduction solutions throughout the supply chain. From transportation and warehousing to energy management and handling of returned goods, each link in the logistics chain is closely tied to carbon issues and resource efficiency.  

Green transport is a core foundation and also the largest source of emissions in the entire logistics chain in Vietnam today. The World Bank points out that the Vietnamese transport sector emits more than 50 million tons of CO₂ annually, with a projected increase of 6–7% per year. According to Our World in Data, Vietnam has the third highest CO₂ emissions from oil and the fifth highest per capita emissions among the ASEAN-6 group, indicating significant pressure to reduce emissions. This shows that the transition to clean fuel vehicles, route optimization, increased proportion of multimodal transport, and the application of smart fleet management technology are not just trends but have become urgent requirements to reduce emissions, save fuel costs, and enhance the sustainability of Vietnamese logistics.  

Green warehousing plays a central role in reducing indirect emissions and optimizing energy use throughout the logistics chain. Warehouses are major consumers of electricity for activities such as lighting, cooling, handling equipment operation, IT systems, and goods storage. Green warehousing aims to design and operate warehouses according to energy-efficient and environmentally friendly standards, including the use of sustainable building materials, optimized natural ventilation and lighting, rooftop solar power installation, LED lighting applications, energy management systems (EMS), and intelligent automation to reduce electricity consumption and emissions. In addition, green warehousing is linked to the management of waste, wastewater, and environmentally friendly packaging, as well as optimizing floor space and goods flow to reduce wasted space and energy. Therefore, developing green warehousing and logistics systems helps businesses reduce long-term operating costs and carbon emissions, creating an advantage when participating in global supply chains that are increasingly stringent about environmental standards and sustainable development.

Reverse logistics is a crucial piece in the circular economy within green logistics. Instead of a one-way flow from producer to consumer, reverse logistics creates a controlled reverse flow, extending product lifecycles and significantly reducing waste. For Vietnam, with the rapid growth of e-commerce, retail, and industrial manufacturing, the increasing rate of returned goods, single-use packaging, and industrial waste makes reverse logistics even more essential. This pillar includes activities such as the recovery of packaging, pallets, and defective products; sorting at source; repair and remanufacturing; material recycling; and waste treatment according to environmental standards. Efficient reverse logistics helps reduce indirect emissions from the exploitation of new resources, enables businesses to comply with Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations, and enhances brand image associated with the circular economy.  

Within the overall landscape of green logistics, e-commerce logistics stands out as a distinct segment with rapid growth and significant emission pressure, due to its high concentration of operations in major cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. E-commerce logistics is characterized by high delivery frequency, small order sizes, and fast, last-mile delivery, resulting in a large number of private vehicles and light trucks. Therefore, green logistics in e-commerce needs to be approached as an intersection of green transport, green warehousing, and reverse logistics, focusing on solutions such as optimizing urban distribution networks, developing small-scale transit points, using electric vehicles for last-mile delivery, consolidating orders and delivering according to schedules, applying AI to optimize routes, and promoting recycled packaging, packaging recovery, and reverse logistics for returned goods. Green transportation solutions are particularly necessary given the worsening pollution levels in major urban areas, and especially with the initiative to establish low-emission zones being piloted in Hanoi starting in the second half of 2026.  

Vietnamese logistics businesses seize opportunities and assert their position.  

As the logistics market enters a phase of in-depth development, Vietnamese businesses are proactively restructuring their strategies to adapt to the new demands of the global supply chain. Instead of competing solely on price and scale, businesses are increasingly prioritizing digital transformation, technology application, and operational efficiency optimization as strategic pillars in both the short and long term. Simultaneously, the trend of diversifying customers, expanding markets, investing in high-quality human resources, and enhancing service experience demonstrates a shift in development thinking from extensive growth to growth based on value and core competencies. This reflects a fundamental change in market approach; logistics is no longer just a simple support service, but is gradually becoming a strategic partner in the supply chains of domestic and international customers.

In the coming period, Vietnamese logistics will not only be a story of growth rate, but also a challenge regarding the quality of development, the ability to participate in high-value supply chains, and the sustainability of the entire system. Logistics businesses will have to simultaneously address challenges related to costs, technological capabilities, international service standards, and green development requirements. In this context, building strong logistics brands becomes crucial – not only to affirm technological capabilities, management, and market coverage, but also to build credibility, speed, and reliability in the eyes of global partners. This is the foundation for Vietnamese logistics to gradually elevate its position, from a supporting role to deeper participation in regional and international logistics value chains.  

The shift in the industry's development mindset is also clearly reflected in the media landscape. According to Vietnam Report's Media Coding data on the logistics industry, the topics of Finance/Business Results and Stocks remain the two most frequently mentioned groups, accounting for 16.1% and 15.9% respectively of the total coded information. As a sector with many listed companies, the business operations of logistics companies are closely linked to stock market movements and investor sentiment, making information on business results, profits, and stocks always attract significant attention. In addition, the topics of Products/Services (9.7%), Image/PR/Scandals (8.9%), and Management (8.4%) continue to show that the market's focus is not limited to financial growth, but is increasingly expanding to include service quality, brand reputation, and corporate governance capabilities. These are also the core factors that will determine the long-term competitiveness of Vietnamese logistics businesses in the next phase of development.

2025 marks a period of in-depth development for Vietnam's logistics industry, with an expanding market and many new growth drivers, but also accompanied by competitive pressures, increased costs, and demands for digital transformation and greening. In this context, the Top 10 Reputable Logistics Companies of 2025, announced by Vietnam Report, is not only a recognition of market-leading enterprises but also a benchmark for financial capacity, media reputation, and supply chain management. This list is expected to contribute to spreading sustainable development standards, encouraging businesses to invest in technology, infrastructure, human resources, and risk management, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of Vietnam's logistics sector in the integration process.  

The Top 10 & Top 5 Rankings of Reputable Logistics Companies are the result of independent research by Vietnam Report, published annually since 2017. This ranking is based on Media Coding (coding of news data) methods applied by Vietnam Report and its partners since 2012, combined with in-depth research on key industries with high growth potential such as: Real Estate, Construction, Technology, Banking, Insurance, Food & Beverage, Retail, etc.  

The media analysis research method for evaluating the reputation of companies is based on the Agenda Setting theory regarding the influence and impact of mass media on the community and society, officially published in 1968 by Professors Maxwell McCombs and Donald L. Shaw. Vietnam Report and its partners have implemented and applied this method. Accordingly, Vietnam Report used the Branch Coding method (assessing a company's image in the media) to analyze the reputation of logistics companies in Vietnam.  

Vietnam Report is coding articles about the logistics industry published in influential newspapers between October 2024 and September 2025. The articles are analyzed and evaluated at the story level, covering 24 specific operational aspects of companies, from products, business results, and markets to the activities and reputation of company leaders. The information selected for coding is based on two fundamental principles: the company name appears in the article's title, or news about the company occupies at least five lines within the article – this is considered the threshold of awareness, where the information is deemed valuable for analysis. Information is evaluated at the following levels: 0: Neutral; 1: Positive; 2: Fairly Positive; 3: Unclear; 4: Fairly Negative; 5: Negative. However, statistically, the research team used three levels for final evaluation, including: Neutral (0 and 3), Positive (1 and 2), and Negative (4 and 5).  

The opinions expressed in this press release are general and for reference purposes only for businesses and partners; they are not personal opinions and do not serve the purposes or needs of any specific investor. Therefore, interested parties should carefully consider the appropriateness of the information before using it to make investment decisions and are solely responsible for the use of such information.  

The announcement ceremony for the Top 10 & Top 5 Reputable Logistics Companies in 2025 will be held on January 8, 2026 at Ho Guom Theatre, Hanoi .
