Industrial production grew positively

Industrial production is the mainstay of the economy, especially for a country with a high export proportion like Vietnam. The good news is that in recent months, despite many challenges both domestically and internationally, Vietnam's growth rate has remained positive and industrial production sectors continue to play a leading role in supporting the national growth target.

At the end of the year, businesses are focusing on increasing production to serve the consumption needs of the domestic market and export; the business community also needs the State's attention and support to remove difficulties and obstacles to complete production and business goals and plans.

Maintain growth rate

In the past 10 months, Vietnam's industrial production has generally grown positively, especially in the processing and manufacturing industries. The Industrial Production Index (IIP) for the first 10 months of 2025 increased by 9.2% over the same period in 2024, higher than the 8.3% increase in the same period in 2024. The processing and manufacturing industry alone continued to play a leading role, increasing by 10.5%, contributing 8.5 percentage points to the overall growth.

In addition, the Vietnam Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) announced by S&P Global (USA) increased to 54.5 points in October, from 50.4 points in September, showing a significant improvement in the overall health of the industry during the month. This is an important signal that manufacturers may be increasing orders, expanding production and expecting better future demand. S&P Global assessed that the Vietnamese manufacturing industry witnessed an improvement in growth momentum in the early fourth quarter of 2025. Output and new orders increased strongly and faster, inventories of purchased goods were also recorded to increase again, while business confidence reached a 16-month high.

In Dong Nai's economic structure, the industrial sector continues to be the pillar of growth after the merger of administrative units, in line with the orientation of industrialization and modernization associated with sustainable development.

Along with the whole country, according to data from Dong Nai Statistics, in the first 10 months of 2025, the industrial production index (IIP) in the province increased by 14.38% compared to 2024.

According to Dong Nai Statistics Chief Cao Dang Vien, the growth momentum comes from a stable macro environment, flexible management, orders recovering in many industries, and many businesses signing new production orders. Many industrial products have increased in volume compared to the same period thanks to expansion and finding consumer markets, signing many new orders, and some businesses have accelerated production to meet customer needs.

Industrial production is growing, especially entering the year-end production season, so many businesses also have plans to recruit more workers. According to the Dong Nai Employment Service Center, in the fourth quarter of 2025, businesses in the province need to recruit about 55,000 workers, an average of 16,000 workers/month.

Accompanying to remove difficulties and obstacles

At the Government meeting with localities to evaluate the results in October 2025, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh assessed that the current world situation is still unpredictable. The reciprocal tax policy from the United States has many uncertainties and risks. Domestically, some manufacturing industries are also facing difficulties. Therefore, to achieve the high growth target as required, it is necessary to synchronously deploy many solutions. The focus is on maintaining macroeconomic stability, controlling inflation, ensuring major balances of the economy, creating a solid foundation for rapid and sustainable growth.

For Dong Nai, the growth target for 2025 is 10%. To achieve that, in the fourth quarter of 2025, Dong Nai province must have a growth rate of 12.8%, which is not an easy task. Along with promoting public investment disbursement, accelerating the construction of key transport infrastructure projects, social housing projects, and restoring the real estate market, etc., industrial production is also the focus and driving force for sustainable growth.

At the thematic conference on some key tasks and solutions in the last months of the year to serve the target of double-digit economic growth in 2025 organized by the Provincial Party Committee on November 8, Director of the Department of Industry and Trade Vu Ngoc Long outlined some tasks of the industry in the last two months of the year. To promote industrial production in the province, in addition to developing the domestic market and promoting trade, the Department of Industry and Trade will continue to grasp and accompany export industries.

According to Mr. Vu Ngoc Long, the department will review and compile statistics on affected businesses; coordinate with the Ministry of Industry and Trade and industry associations to promptly disseminate and support market information, tax advice, and rules of origin. Continue to work with large-scale manufacturing and exporting enterprises to remove difficulties and promote industrial growth in the face of the impact of the US's reciprocal tax policy. Timely advise and recommend competent authorities to amend and supplement appropriate mechanisms and policies.

Dong Nai also strengthens guidance for businesses to diversify markets and products, avoiding dependence on a single market. At the same time, it organizes training and seminars on new trade barriers, environmental and labor standards; supports the issuance of green and low-carbon certificates for export products. The industry and trade sector proposes that the province provide preferential financial support and green credit for businesses investing in environmentally friendly technology, reducing production costs and increasing competitiveness.
