The logistics and warehousing market is expected to register a positive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.3% in the 2018-2022 period, according to Ken Research – a market research and consulting company based in India and the US.

Vietnam’s logistics sector is expected to escalate its way thanks to the following reasons. 

First of all, a good connection amongst the urban cities where a huge share of traffic is coming from the tier 2 and tier 3 cities. 

Modern technologies like enterprise resource planning, electronic data interchange, customs and accounting software, GPS, bar code system, radio frequency identification (RFID), automatic retrieval system, robotics, drones, among others are anticipated to improve the logistics services in near future. 

Macroeconomics has supported the sector’s growth with various free trade agreements (FTAs) signed between Vietnam and single economies or economic blocs which will boost the country’s trade relations in the long term.

Additionally, foreign investments are estimated to rise strongly in Vietnam as many logistics enterprises in ASEAN countries are keen to invest and have a better understanding of the laws, customs and culture of Vietnam. 

The country will focus on attracting investment in logistics infrastructure development, constructing regional and international logistics service centers, improving the efficiency of connection between Vietnam and other countries, thereby becoming a modern logistics hub in upcoming years, Ken Research said.
