An Tin Logistics catches up with digital transformation

Ranked 11th in the group of 50 global emerging logistics markets, Vietnam is on track to become the world’s new international logistics and goods transshipment center. Therefore, many Vietnamese businesses operating in this field are actively changing to keep pace with the rapid development of the world’s logistics industry.

Opportunities and challenges

With its geographical location in the center of Southeast Asia, Vietnam is an important bridge between countries in the region and around the world. This brings a competitive advantage to the Vietnamese logistics industry, with the ability to connect global supply chains and provide international shipping services.

In recent years, Vietnam’s logistics industry has made significant progress with an average growth rate of 14-16%/year, with a scale of US$40-42 billion/year. According to Mr. Tran Thanh Hai, deputy director of the Import-Export Department (Ministry of Industry and Trade), the number of businesses and the quality of logistics services are increasing. Therefore, it has contributed significantly to bringing the import-export result of the whole year 2022 to the highest level ever of US$732.5 billion, an increase of 9.5% compared to 2021.

2023 is forecast to be a potential year for the logistics market in Vietnam. According to Agility’s 2022 assessment, Vietnam ranked 11th in the group of 50 global emerging logistics markets.

Vietnam is becoming one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing economies and an important trading partner in the region and the world. Joining free trade agreements and international economic alliances creates favorable conditions for logistics businesses to expand operations and develop international partnerships. This has created a higher demand for logistics services to support import and export activities, transportation of goods and domestic distribution.

However, besides the opportunities that are opening up, Vietnam’s logistics industry still faces many disadvantages, such as high logistics costs; lack of connection between logistics service businesses with each other and manufacturing, trading, and import-export businesses; the scale and financial potential of Vietnamese logistics enterprises are still weak, the expansion of foreign markets is not significant…
