Vietnam's manufacturing sector continues to show impressive growth despite challenging conditions, including reported disruptions from a severe storm. A report from S&P Global Market Intelligence confirms that production, new orders, and employment all recorded increases in November 2025.
The S&P Global Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) for Vietnam stood at 53.8 in November, a slight dip from 54.5 the previous month, yet still representing a solid improvement in monthly business conditions. Crucially, new export orders accelerated at their highest rate in 15 months.
Andrew Harker, economics director at S&P Global Market Intelligence, suggests this strong performance signals potential for sustained expansion in the coming months as companies focus on catching up with previously delayed projects. This data reinforces Vietnam's position as a robust manufacturing hub, capable of maintaining positive output and capturing increasing international demand even when faced with significant environmental or operational setbacks.
