Over the past three decades, industrial parks (IPs) have become a core growth driver of Vietnam's economy, especially in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI), developing export-oriented manufacturing, and promoting economic restructuring. From North to South, hundreds of industrial parks have been planned, built, and operated with increasingly modern and synchronized infrastructure.
However, not all industrial parks are considered key zones. Some stand out due to their strategic locations, high occupancy rates, ability to attract multinational corporations, and integration of industrial-urban-service ecosystems. These are the industrial parks that serve as the driving force behind national industrial development.
In this article, BIC provides a comprehensive list of key industrial parks in Vietnam, categorized by region, along with analysis of their advantages, core sectors, and investment potential for manufacturing enterprises.
Not all industrial parks are classified as "key" in the national industrial development map. To qualify for this category, an IP must simultaneously meet several factors including scale, location, investment attraction, and infrastructure readiness. Below are the core criteria:
Key industrial parks are typically located near major transport corridors such as national highways, expressways, airports, and seaports. This helps businesses reduce logistics costs, accelerate supply chains, and facilitate market access both domestically and internationally. Example: VSIP 1 Industrial Park (Binh Duong) is near Ho Chi Minh City, Cat Lai Port, and Tan Son Nhat Airport.
Key IPs have high occupancy rates, drawing in numerous domestic and foreign businesses, especially high-value FDI projects. Their appeal reflects the quality of planning, legal transparency, and long-term development potential. Several industrial parks in Bac Ninh, Binh Duong, and Long An report occupancy rates above 90%.

An IP is deemed key when it hosts multinational corporations like Samsung, Intel, LG, Panasonic, etc., along with a strong ecosystem of supporting and ancillary industries. This boosts production efficiency, reduces input costs, and facilitates technology transfer.
Key industrial parks feature comprehensive utilities such as power, water supply and drainage, wastewater treatment, telecommunications, and internal logistics. In addition, legal aspects such as planning, investment licensing, and environmental procedures are clearly defined and streamlined to support investors. Some parks even meet international green, ESG, and ISO standards, making it easier for businesses to expand into demanding markets like the EU, US, and Japan.
The Southern Region is currently Vietnam's economic powerhouse with a dense concentration of industrial parks, synchronized infrastructure, and superior international connectivity. Below are the most prominent IPs:

- Strategic industry orientation: Most key IPs focus on high-tech, electronics, precision engineering, agro-seafood processing, and logistics. These are high value-added sectors that contribute significantly to regional and national economic growth.
Choosing the right industrial park determines much of the investment effectiveness, scalability, operating costs, and long-term business sustainability. Depending on your manufacturing sector, consider factors such as:
- Strategic location: proximity to ports, airports, consumer hubs, or supply chains
- Quality of technical infrastructure: power, water, fire safety, wastewater treatment, and internal transport
- Local workforce and support services: recruitment, training, legal, logistics
Especially for new or expanding projects within industrial parks, a well-planned factory layout from the start will save costs, shorten deployment time, and ensure full compliance with technical and legal standards.
