Jetro's survey showed that as many as 25% of enterprises operating in China said they would move to Vietnam in the coming years.
Because of labor costs are increasing but limited workforce, many Japanese companies have tended to move abroad and Vietnam is the preferred destination. The wave of investment into Vietnam will continue to increase in the future, including commissioned production form.
The wave of companies shifting from China to 3rd country has occurred for some years, however, at the present, this trend is growing fast. The reason is that labor costs in China rising, and many other obstacles. While Vietnam has favorable conditions for investment and development through young labor force and low labor costs. With over 90 million people, Vietnam is the 3rd largest market of South East Asian region and this market is continuing to open when the ASEAN Economic Community was established by the end of this year. In addition, the investment environment in Vietnam is increasingly improved and the performance of businesses has developed.
