Industry in the province experienced low growth over the past four months.

In the first four months of 2025, the province's industrial production index showed low growth, increasing by only 4.82% compared to the same period last year (while in the same period of 2024 it increased by as much as 55.01%).

In particular, the production index of several sectors still recorded positive growth rates, such as: mining industry increased by 23.77%; processing and manufacturing industry increased by 11.26%; textile production increased sharply by 74.09%; beverage production increased by 18.33% (including beer production increased by 10.58%, bird's nest drink production increased by 20.16%) thanks to increased consumer demand during the hot season. In addition, the production of pharmaceuticals, chemicals and medicinal materials increased by 18.08%; and the production of transport vehicles increased by 15.57%, mainly due to HD Hyundai Vietnam Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. signing many new production contracts in 2025.

The manufacturing industry for transport vehicles has seen a surge in demand thanks to orders from HD Hyundai Vietnam Shipbuilding Company Limited.

Conversely, some sectors experienced a decline in production indices, such as: electricity production and distribution (down 3.8%); prefabricated metal products (down 2.87%); leather and related products (down 11.44%); and printing and reproduction (a sharp decline of 39.34%).
