62% of new manufacturing projects are opting for pre-built factory spaces, the highest rate since 2018.

(HTV) - 62% of new manufacturing projects this year chose ready-built factory (RBF) – the highest level since 2018. In the South, this figure is around 70%, while in the North it is at 56%.

According to data from Savills, the occupancy rate of ready-built factory projects has now exceeded 80%. This reflects very good performance, especially with FDI investors. However, experts note that the Vietnamese industrial real estate market is entering a restructuring phase.

These noteworthy figures were recently released in Savills' Industrial Real Estate Report 2025.

Low costs and labor are no longer the only advantages. Instead, global manufacturing corporations are beginning to seek destinations that meet ESG standards – reducing emissions, saving energy, prioritizing renewable energy, and possessing international certifications.

Assessing current market trends, John Campbell, Director of Industrial Real Estate at Savills Ho Chi Minh City, stated that many developers have begun adopting eco-industrial park models based on UNIDO guidelines. Alongside this, the number of factories and warehouses achieving LEED green certification has also seen growth from both investors and tenants.

According to expert forecasts, FDI will continue to flow strongly into industrial real estate.

A representative from Savills emphasized that there is a strong shift in planning thinking, with businesses paying more attention to sustainability, allocating more land for landscaping and amenities instead of focusing solely on production. Mr. Campbell also affirmed that this is a direction being actively pursued by both the Government and industrial park developers.

Experts predict that in 2026, FDI will continue to flow strongly into industrial real estate. While previously industrial parks were largely developed by domestic enterprises, now there is an increase in foreign investors, even joint ventures similar to VSIP.
