Southeast Asia Information Port (www.dnyxxg.com) reports that many companies in Vietnam's industrial sector generally believe that 2026 will still face numerous challenges and uncertainties. However, through proactive measures and meticulous planning formulated at the beginning of the year, companies are expected to maintain stable growth.
Lê Phúc Co., Ltd., a leading enterprise in the mold and machinery manufacturing sector in Phu Thuên Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, has set a growth target of 20%-30% for 2026. Currently, the company's mold products have a competitive advantage in terms of cost-effectiveness compared to similar products in the region, and are highly favored by American importers, resulting in a stable order backlog for 2026.
In the electromechanical industry, Le Mai Huu Lam, General Manager of Cat Van Lục Industrial Electrical Equipment Joint Stock Company in Cuục Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, stated that the company aims to achieve a 23% growth rate in 2026. To achieve this goal, the company will focus on enhancing its internal capabilities, making talent development a core focus, promoting the acquisition of more international certifications for its products, and facilitating participation in major domestic and international projects; at the same time, it will increase trade promotion efforts. Currently, Jivanli's electromechanical materials are widely used in several key projects in Vietnam, including the Ho Chi Minh City Metro Line 1 (Ben Thanh-Tien Quan section), Long Thanh International Airport, Van Phong No. 1 Thermal Power Plant, and the National Data Center. In the export market, its products have also been successfully applied in overseas projects such as the Manila Metro in the Philippines, Drak Chong International Airport in Cambodia, and the Matabari Thermal Power Plant in Bangladesh.
Le Mai Huu Lam suggested that national management departments should prioritize the use of domestically produced products, equipment, and services in urban rail transit projects. He pointed out that this measure would not only reduce project investment and operation and maintenance costs and enhance the country's industrial self-sufficiency, but also lay a solid foundation for the development of Vietnam's modern railway industry.
A survey of industrial enterprises in Ho Chi Minh City shows that businesses are confident about their production and operation prospects in the first quarter of 2026: 32.8% of respondents expect their business situation to improve; and another 73.5% of state-owned enterprises believe that their business situation will show a positive trend in the first quarter of 2026.
