Market Trends and Insights

Smart-city infrastructure programs

City infrastructure programs create demand for ICT integration across projects that progress at different speeds. At its August 13, 2026, meeting, Cần Thơ reported 46 of 59 smart-city tasks and projects underway, 3 completed, one under study and 9 not started. Hanoi established a task force on June 28, 2026, to implement its Intelligent Operations Center project and 2026-2027 plan. These programs give integration suppliers a role in connecting individual projects to a coordinated operating environment. The imbalance between active and completed projects places near-term delivery emphasis on commissioning unfinished systems, with maintenance demand following completion.

Digital transformation across Industry 4.0 value-chains

Factory digitization creates demand for ICT that turns connected equipment into a source of usable production information. By October 17, 2025, Samsung Vietnam’s smart-factory project had deployed an IoT system for real-time data collection and analysis at 5 manufacturing enterprises in northern Vietnam. The project reported reduced process errors and easier progress monitoring, with the enterprises to continue developing their systems under online mentorship. Those operating applications make the connection between collected data and production decisions commercially relevant. For ICT suppliers, the planned mentorship model favors tools that manufacturers can interpret and adjust with remote guidance, making usability part of the implementation proposition.

Surging cloud- and AI-linked capex

Cloud investment can expand demand for infrastructure when capital commitments follow the workloads that customers bring to a platform. On February 9, 2026, G42 and a consortium comprising FPT Corporation and Viet Thai Group signed a framework agreement to develop AI capabilities and cloud infrastructure in Vietnam. The agreement carried a consumption-linked investment commitment of up to USD 1 billion.^[1] A consumption-linked ceiling leaves the timing and scale of capital deployment dependent on actual service use. The commercial test is therefore whether enterprise workloads convert that prospective capacity into infrastructure purchases.

Government “Make-in-Vietnam” digital-economy roadmap

Government digital-economy policy links a broader customer base with the development of domestic technology suppliers. Vietnam’s 2026-2030 digital-economy program targets support for 500,000 small and medium-sized enterprises adopting digital technologies and AI solutions by 2030.^[2] It also targets at least five domestic digital technology firms operating at a level comparable to leading international companies by 2030. Together, these objectives create a prospective route for local suppliers to address smaller enterprises alongside larger institutional accounts. Reaching that many firms would require a delivery model that can repeat deployments across separate customer organizations. A repeatable offering would let suppliers spread development costs across multiple SME customers, making delivery economics central to capturing this adoption opportunity.

High up-front network and data-center build costs

Building data-center capacity commits capital before the resulting services can earn revenue from customer workloads. Cushman & Wakefield’s 2026 guide estimated Vietnam data-center construction costs at USD 5.7 million to USD 8.7 million per MW, with a mid-range cost of USD 7.2 million per MW. The guide described Vietnam as regionally cost-competitive, while its estimates show the absolute construction commitment needed for additional capacity. Operators must recover that outlay through the services the new infrastructure can support. This requirement can limit how much capacity a new entrant finances before establishing a customer base. Smaller construction phases can manage that exposure while delaying the capacity available for additional ICT workloads.

Shortage of specialized ICT talent

Specialist availability can keep demand for AI systems from translating quickly into deployable projects. UNESCO’s assessment, citing TopDev, estimated a shortage of 200,000 workers across Vietnam’s IT workforce in 2025.^[3] At a June 2026 Hanoi forum, experts said large banks, telecommunications firms and technology companies struggled to recruit AI specialists. A buyer adopting AI therefore faces a delivery constraint alongside the task of selecting its technology. Dependence on a limited specialist team can lengthen implementation schedules and restrict the number of projects a supplier undertakes simultaneously. For banks and operators, access to implementation teams can determine which AI applications reach operation first.

Vietnam ICT Market Segment Analysis

IT hardware accounted for a 22.38% share of the Vietnam ICT market size in 2026. Digiworld, a laptop distributor, stated in its August 2026 investor presentation that it is Vietnam’s No. 1 laptop distributor. As a distributor, Digiworld illustrates the role of sales channels between hardware brands and the businesses that buy their devices. For hardware brands, access to channels like Digiworld’s therefore shapes how much of their product range reaches Vietnamese buyers.

The IT services segment is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 12.35% during 2027-2032, making it the fastest-growing segment. FPT reported newly signed domestic IT services revenue exceeding VND 10 trillion (USD 400.4 million) in 2025. FPT also supported the State Bank of Vietnam’s IT Department with a core-system transformation completed on schedule by March 1, 2025. The work migrated data across core banking, ERP-based financial and accounting management, and centralized vault management and issuance systems operated by the State Bank. FPT’s 50-expert team worked from December 2024 toward that deadline, making specialist mobilization central to this core-system assignment.

Large enterprises represented a 64.27% Vietnam ICT market share in 2026. In 2025, Military Commercial Joint Stock Bank (MB) processed 90% of its documents end to end through its M-Office system. Concentrating so much document processing on one system makes the shared workflow a substantial focus of the bank’s internal ICT needs. For suppliers, this concentration creates scope to improve a large share of one bank’s document handling through work on a single platform.

Small and medium enterprises are forecast to be the fastest-growing segment, at a CAGR of 11.9% during 2027-2032. Da Nang’s July 2026 plan targets access to digital-readiness assessments, testing, advice and training for more than 80% of local SMEs by 2030. The plan also promotes adoption of digital products, platforms and AI, linking readiness support with prospective use. The target addresses access to support activities, which puts assessment and testing ahead of any resulting deployment. Supplier revenue therefore depends on converting supported trials into paid adoption.

BFSI was the largest segment by industry vertical, with a 17.56% share of ICT spending in Vietnam in 2026. By May 2025, more than 87% of Vietnamese adults had a bank account. The State Bank of Vietnam also reported that many credit institutions had fully digitized basic operations, including deposits, payment-account opening and use, card issuance, transfers and lending. Account ownership indicates the breadth of banking’s customer base, while digitized operations establish technology’s role in routine execution. The commercial opportunity spans several stages of an account holder’s banking activity, giving suppliers scope to address linked deposit, payment and lending workflows.

The healthcare and life sciences segment is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 12.15% during 2027-2032, making it the fastest-growing segment. By February 2026, about 1,210 of Vietnam’s 1,650 public and private hospitals had announced deployment of electronic medical records. On June 6, 2025, FPT Information System signed an EMR Cloud services contract with Ho Chi Minh City Oncology Hospital, sponsored by VietinBank’s Branch 7, for a planned 12-month implementation across both campuses. That contract illustrates a delivery model spanning multiple hospital campuses, where service implementation must accommodate more than one operating location. At signing, the planned implementation period gave the provider a defined delivery window, making coordination across campuses a scheduling requirement alongside technical deployment.

Geography Analysis

In 2025, Ho Chi Minh City integrated its municipal public-service portal into the National Public Service Portal and closed the city portal on June 18. The Ministry of Public Security also selected the city to pilot 5 essential public services at the National Data Center. Hanoi recorded 135,773 online administrative applications out of 142,554 total from August 15 through September 14, 2026, or 95.24%, excluding notarization procedures and some ministry-system data that could not be retrieved. Ho Chi Minh City’s portal closure puts continuity through the national interface at issue, while Hanoi’s submission volume makes dependable transaction handling commercially consequential.

Da Nang’s January 2026 digital architecture framework prioritized ICT infrastructure for commune-level offices after administrative consolidation, focusing on local networks and equipment at new premises. For difficult and mountainous areas, it considered low-Earth-orbit satellite internet and LoRa wide-area wireless connectivity for pilot use. This combination places office readiness and the reach of public digital services within the same local implementation problem. The distinction matters for project scope because office networks and equipment can be specified separately from exploratory access links. This keeps the commune-office upgrade case from depending on whether satellite and LoRa trials proceed.

Bắc Ninh’s first-quarter 2026 network build illustrates how connectivity can support services for local organizations in the province. In that quarter, the province had about 849 operating 5G base stations, with coverage reaching more than 92.12% of its population. All communes had dedicated data-network connections, and all villages and residential areas had fixed broadband fiber access. Dedicated commune networks and village fiber provide a basis for digital services alongside the mobile network. For digital-service suppliers in Bắc Ninh, this fixed-network reach reduces dependence on further 5G expansion when planning new deployments.

Regulatory Framework and Outlook

The comparison covers selected jurisdictions from the perspective of ICT integrators that process personal data while supplying public-sector systems. National rules define personal-data protection duties, while Ho Chi Minh City’s regime addresses data sharing among city bodies and related participants, excluding state-secret data. The city also distinguishes policy oversight from technical platform operation, creating different counterparties for regulatory guidance and integration delivery.

The national framework gives integrators defined personal-data duties alongside administrative penalties for cybersecurity and personal-data violations effective August 19, 2026. That enacted enforcement framework supports a hardening outlook for covered processors, with compliance carrying consequences for project delivery. In Ho Chi Minh City, clear oversight and platform-operating roles aid coordination, while agencies must provide appropriate infrastructure and security measures. Those ongoing duties support continuity in the city’s implementation requirements, leaving integration effort as the main policy-related commercial trade-off.

Value Chain Stages

The value chain compares how product distributors, infrastructure operators and service providers earn revenue at successive delivery stages. Distribution brings technology products into business projects, while hosting and software capabilities make those products usable within a broader system. Integration and continuing support create additional earning opportunities because the initial installation must connect with operating workflows and remain serviceable.

In February 2026, Viettel, CMC, VNPT, FPT and VNG warned that a shift from production to higher commercial electricity tariffs had raised data-center power costs by more than 50% at some facilities. This exposure places hosting economics alongside technical capability in the decision to expand capacity. Software and support providers can earn beyond installation, but their delivery depends on the infrastructure beneath those services. Future value capture therefore depends partly on sustaining service revenue through changes in the cost of operating that infrastructure.

Key Opportunities for Market Participants

The opportunities compare public-sector cloud implementation with healthcare record-system delivery, separating existing-system work from new deployments. Vietnam’s 2025-2030 cloud program prioritizes cloud platforms for new government information systems and IT services. By 2030, it targets assessment, classification and migration of at least 70% of existing ministry, sector and local systems and IT services. A health directive requires facilities to assess their systems, prepare plans and mobilize resources to complete electronic medical records by December 31, 2026.

The central opening lies in turning policy direction into implementation plans that public buyers can execute. For existing systems, assessment and classification help determine which workloads can migrate together and which need separate treatment. The cloud program targets 2030, while healthcare facilities face a December 31, 2026 EMR completion deadline. Healthcare proposals therefore need a defined implementation scope and resource plan that fit the shorter delivery window.
