The driving force behind development comes from logistics centers.

The strategy for developing Vietnam's logistics services until 2030, with a vision to 2050, aims for sustainable, efficient, and high value-added development, strong competitiveness, and leveraging the country's advantages in the global supply chain. The focus is on establishing large-scale, modern logistics centers connected to seaports, intermodal railways, border crossings, and multimodal infrastructure, reducing costs, optimizing the supply chain, and enhancing the competitiveness of Vietnamese goods.

The construction of modern, green, and smart logistics centers is expected to become a new driving force for Vietnam's deeper participation in regional and global supply chains.

A crucial link

With total import and export turnover of goods reaching over 930 billion USD in 2025, and a global network of free trade agreements, Vietnam has the opportunity to transform from a "goods transit point" to a "supply chain organizing hub".

Dr. Bui Ba Nghiem, Senior Specialist at the Import-Export Department ( Ministry of Industry and Trade ), stated that the Vietnam Logistics Service Development Strategy for the period 2025-2035, with a vision to 2050, has opened a new phase of development, in which logistics is not only a supporting service industry but has become a strategic component of national competitiveness. If the contents of the Strategy are implemented synchronously, from perfecting institutions, promoting infrastructure investment, enhancing the competitiveness of businesses to developing free trade zones and green and smart logistics centers, Vietnam can completely become an important logistics link in the ASEAN region and gradually participate more deeply in the global logistics network.

According to Mr. Bui Nguyen Anh Tuan, Deputy Director of the Domestic Market Management and Development Department (Ministry of Industry and Trade), logistics activities in Vietnam are currently relatively fragmented and dispersed. Therefore, we need to reorganize the service flow towards greater interconnectedness, professionalism, and lower costs. The breakthrough solution is to form several regional and inter-regional logistics hubs, linked to seaports, intermodal railways, border gates, and multimodal infrastructure. For example, in the north, a logistics center could be developed in the Hai Phong and Quang Ninh areas, linked to deep-water ports and major international border gates; in the south, it would be in Ho Chi Minh City, linked to the Cai Mep-Thi Vai port cluster, Long Thanh airport, and the Southeast industrial zone.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade's future logistics development orientation will not be a scattered approach, but rather a clear stratification from national, regional, and local logistics centers to specialized logistics centers and consolidation points. This stratification will avoid overlapping investments or inefficient operations, while also creating sufficiently large hubs to connect regional and global logistics chains. The role of these logistics centers will then become strategic infrastructure for production and import/export, rather than simply being considered warehouses or transit points for goods.

Opportunities from green and smart logistics

"If we can develop a network of modern, green, smart, tiered, and interconnected logistics centers, it will have a significant impact on national competitiveness," Deputy Director Bui Nguyen Anh Tuan stated. The first impact is reducing logistics costs, thereby lowering production, distribution, and export costs.

This is especially important in the context of Vietnam aiming for high growth in the 2026-2030 period. To achieve rapid and sustainable growth, we must improve the efficiency of the entire economy, with logistics being a key component.

Secondly, modern logistics centers not only facilitate faster and cheaper goods transportation, but also improve the quality of the supply chain, better manage product quality, enhance traceability, meet the stringent standards of major export markets, and serve domestic consumption.

Thirdly, with good logistics infrastructure, investors in industrial, retail, e-commerce, and agricultural processing sectors will have more confidence to establish factories, transit warehouses, distribution centers, or supply chains in Vietnam.

Fourth, logistics centers also help increase regional connectivity. A tiered, interconnected logistics center system will prevent regions from developing in isolation, instead supporting each other. In this system, production areas, processing areas, consumption areas, border crossings, and seaports will be connected into a unified network. Finally, green and smart logistics will help Vietnam enhance its position in the global supply chain.

From the perspective of businesses, Ms. Nguyen Le Hang, Head of External Relations at SLP Vietnam, shared: Developing logistics centers and green logistics is considered an inevitable trend, and Vietnamese businesses have every opportunity to make a strong breakthrough if they proactively invest in or collaborate with units developing modern, green logistics infrastructure combined with technological transformation. First, businesses can participate more deeply in supply chain management, gradually moving away from competing on price to competing on service quality, speed, and the ability to meet international standards.
