VOV.VN - Foreign-invested enterprises (FDI) imported nearly US$20 billion worth of machinery and equipment during the five-month period of 2026, signaling strong production expansion and foreign capital disbursement in Vietnam.
According to data from Vietnam Customs, the country’s imports of machinery, equipment, tools and spare parts reached nearly US$6.38 billion in May 2026, up 20.15% from a year earlier, while imports totaled US$27.8 billion, up 21.6% year-on-year.
FDI enterprises imported US$19.3 billion worth of machinery and equipment during the reviewed period, up 18% from the same period in 2025 and accounting for 69.43% of the country’s total imports in this category.
Although the share edged down slightly from 71.5% a year earlier, the FDI sector continued to boost Vietnam’s capital goods imports. China was Vietnam’s largest supplier of machinery and equipment, with imports exceeding US$17.65 billion over the past five months, up 22.36% year-on-year and making up 63.49% of total imports.
China’s large share indicates that Vietnam’s manufacturing and processing industries still rely heavily on supply chains from the country. While this offers cost and logistics advantages, it also leaves Vietnam exposed to risks from global supply chain disruptions.
Japan ranked as the second-largest supplier, followed by the Republic of Korea (RoK). Meanwhile, imports from ASEAN surged to US$1.72 billion, up 54.78% from a year earlier.
The rise in imports from ASEAN was driven mainly by Malaysia and Singapore, indicating the benefits of free trade agreements (FTAs) as well as the ongoing shift in high-tech manufacturing supply chains within the region.
The European Union was also a key supplier of high-tech machinery to Vietnam, with imports at nearly US$1.54 billion during January-May.
Vietnam’s imports of machinery and equipment climbed to more than US$61 billion in 2025, up 24.8% from 2024, showing continued growth in investment demand and production expansion.
Ho Chi Minh City's tax authority has pledged continued support for foreign investors by addressing tax-related bottlenecks and improving the business climate, in line with the Politburo's newly-issued resolution on developing the foreign-invested sector.
VOV.VN - Ho Chi Minh City’s foreign direct investment (FDI) more than doubled in the first half of 2026 to over US$6.8 billion, up 114% year-on-year and meeting 61.8% of its full-year target.
