<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Vietnam is emerging as an important EMS/ODM and semiconductor manufacturing services destination--especially after entering the World Trade Organization in January 2007. Vietnam's low-cost of labor, availability of a trainable local population and favorable government policies are attracting global EMS/ODM companies to set-up operations in the country.
The government's emphasis on making electronics a key export earner is pushing Vietnam to migrate to the path of high-tech industry. The country is also experiencing rapid increase in semiconductor consumption. Many investors feel that it is easier to do business in Vietnam than in China due to lesser regulatory hassles and government business-friendly policies. The country has been witnessing double-digit growth rate. In recent years, electronics and IT industries have recorded an average growth rate of 25 to 35% a year.
Vietnam will soon emerge as a tough competitor to other well established neighbors in Asia. Many will be watching to see if Vietnam will emerge as a viable alternative.
Highlights of this analyst briefing includes an analysis of Drivers and Challengers for Vietnam's EMS/ODM and Semiconductor Industries, Education System and Labor Force, Vietnam's Semiconductor Consumption, Leading OEMs in Vietnam and also a discussion on macroeconomic indicators such as GDP growth, FDI inflow and labor costs. We will also provide an update of related and upcoming research and an opportunity for a question and answer session with the analyst.
This briefing will benefit OEMs, component manufacturers, EMS, ODMs and electronics component distributors as it discusses key competencies of Vietnam in addition to providing trends and factors impacting the growth of ESM/ODM services and semiconductor industry in Vietnam and semiconductor consumption forecasts.
Akkaraju Venkata Sridevi, Research Analyst for the Semiconductors Automation & Electronics of Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific says, "The electronics industry in Vietnam is still very young and it's rapidly developing due to high priority in the government's development strategy. The main products are printers, computer and mobile phone telephone parts, circuit boards, etc. Vietnam's electronics industry targets to reach US $5 to $6 billion in production value by 2010. Vietnam has also become a heaven for investors from Korea and China. Intel has tripled its investment in Vietnam to US $1 billion."
Sridevi also sates that Vietnam is the next emerging destination for investments after China and India. "The economic growth rates spell success for the country. Vietnam's economy is the fastest growing economy, second only to China, in the Asian region. Vietnamese Government support to establish industry parks, good physical infrastructure, the availability of English-speaking workforce and low labor costs are all factors that make Vietnam an attractive destination."
