The city's plans to build and upgrade markets will comply with environmental hygiene regulations, fire safety precautions, and food safety standards.

Hanoi is set to build 34 new markets and renovate 71 others across the city as part of its Market Development and Management Plan for 2025, announced by the Hanoi People's Committee on December 5.
The move is driven by the prospect of job creation and increased incomes resulting from market upgrades, as well as improvements in environmental hygiene, fire safety, commercial standards, and public safety.

The list of 34 markets planned for construction includes five to be built in Bac Tu Liem District; one in Ha Dong District; one in Tay Ho District (Xuan La Trade Center); five in Thanh Tri; one in Dan Phuong; one in Hoai Duc; one in Phuc Tho; one in Phu Xuyen; one in Thach That; two in Me Linh; two in Gia Lam; one in Dong Anh; and three in Thuong Tin, in addition to one market in Son Tay Town, one in Dong Da, and seven in Quoc Oai.
Regarding the 71 markets to be upgraded, Nam Tu Liem, Cau Giay, Ha Dong, Hai Ba Trung and Dong Da districts each will upgrade one market. Bac Tu Liem, Hoang Mai, and Long Bien will upgrade two markets each, while Tay Ho will upgrade three markets.
Chuong My District will upgrade two markets, and Thanh Tri, Soc Son, Hoai Duc, Phu Xuyen, Ba Vi, and Son Tay will upgrade two markets each. Dan Phuong, Thach That, Me Linh and Dong Anh will renovate three markets each, while Quoc Oai, My Duc and Thanh Oai will renovate four markets each. Finally, Ung Hoa and Thuong Tin will each upgrade six markets, with Phuc Tho seeing the highest number with eight markets.
According to the plan, all renovations will comply with food safety standards, environmental hygiene regulations, and fire prevention measures.
The Hanoi Department of Industry and Trade will lead the initiative, working with relevant departments and local authorities to mobilize all socialization resources for investment, construction and improvement of the city's market system. These efforts aim to meet standards and regulations, ensure residents' convenience in doing business, while maintaining food safety and promoting a civilized trading environment.
To provide a steady source of income for the city and its communities, the state agency will also solve current problems and do away with improvised marketplaces.
By the end of 2024, the city plans to renovate seven markets and build four new ones.
