Solutions for industry in the last months of the year

After 9 months of 2025, Quang Ninh's industrial "picture" recorded many efforts but also many difficulties, slower growth than planned, some industries were strongly affected by the international market. To complete the year's target, the province is focusing on synchronous solutions both short-term and long-term to promote sustainable industrial production development.

The growth rate of the province's industrial sector in the third quarter of 2025 is estimated at about 13.72%, 10.42 percentage points lower than the plan set at the beginning of the year, contributing 4.75 percentage points to growth and accounting for 41.43% of GRDP. The production index of industrial sectors decreased compared to the initial plan. In particular, the mining industry in the quarter reached about 14.33% compared to the same period in 2024, 3.81 percentage points lower than the plan set for the third quarter of 2025 and only contributed 1.40 percentage points to growth, accounting for 15.22% of GRDP.

As for the electricity and gas production industry, it is estimated that in the third quarter of 2025 it will decrease by 2.68%, 17.43 percentage points lower than the plan and contribute only 0.02 percentage points to growth and account for 10.68% of GRDP. The processing and manufacturing industry is estimated to reach about 25.27% in the third quarter, 11.96 percentage points lower than the third quarter plan and contribute 3.29 percentage points to growth, accounting for 15.21% of GRDP.

The reasons for the low rate in the industries are due to the large amount of coal in stock (about 11.4 million tons); some coal production projects are in the process of basic construction, not yet reaching the designed capacity according to the mineral exploitation license; the demand for electricity from thermal power plants in the area has decreased, because hydroelectric reservoirs have to operate at full capacity to discharge water. In particular, some key export processing and manufacturing industrial products have been strongly affected by the US tax policy and the global trade instability such as silicon panels, solar panels, electric bicycles, all of which have decreased significantly compared to the plan.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Hien, Director of the Department of Industry and Trade, said: Of the 15 industrial products processed and manufactured in the province, only 6/15 products achieved and exceeded the plan in 9 months. Typically: TV exceeded 24.9% of the plan, headphone speakers exceeded 36.1% of the plan, vehicles of all kinds exceeded 21.7% of the plan, PVC plastic floor panels exceeded 19.7% of the plan, smart bracelets exceeded 1.1% of the plan, cotton yarn reached 99.1% of the plan. The remaining 9/15 products have not met the plan, this is an issue that the province will study and find solutions to promote in the remaining months of the year.

To maintain growth momentum and complete the annual industrial production target, contributing positively to the economic growth of the whole province, the immediate solution that the Provincial People's Committee is actively implementing is to direct departments, branches and sectors to coordinate with TKV and Dong Bac Corporation to review production plans, balance supply and demand, increase coal exports to potential markets; at the same time, promote domestic consumption through energy projects and construction materials production. Focus on removing obstacles for key projects such as Thanh Cong Viet Hung Automobile Factory, electronic components production projects, solar battery projects, etc. to soon put them into stable operation, creating new production capacity.

Along with short-term solutions, Quang Ninh is aiming to restructure the entire industrial sector towards modernity, environmental friendliness and high added value. In particular, it will implement adjustments to the Provincial Planning for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050, prioritizing the development of specialized industrial parks along the value chain, such as the automobile - mechanical industry in Dong Mai Industrial Park and Viet Hung Industrial Park; electronics and high-tech industry in Nam and Bac Tien Phong Industrial Park; supporting industry and new materials in Hai Ha Industrial Park. Along with that, it will encourage technological innovation, improve productivity, support small and medium-sized enterprises in digital transformation, apply automation in production; develop green industry and clean energy, gradually reduce dependence on coal. LNG power projects, offshore wind power, recycled material production, and solar panels will be prioritized for investment, creating a foundation for sustainable industrial development. At the same time, focus on developing high-quality human resources, linking training with business needs, especially in the fields of mechanical engineering, electricity - electronics, and industrial logistics.

Mr. Huang Jinxing, General Director of Jinko Solar Industrial Co., Ltd. (Vietnam), said: Quang Ninh's industrial development must be based on three pillars: technology - human resources - infrastructure. In the short term, it is necessary to remove difficulties for businesses, but in the long term, it is necessary to create a modern, green and internationally competitive production base.

Industries and localities are currently being asked to proactively "sprint" in the last months of the year to complete industrial production goals and targets, while ensuring labor safety and environmental protection, contributing to ensuring the province's economic growth target set for 2025, thereby gradually turning industry into the main pillar of a green and sustainable economy.
