• Vietnam remains a top choice for foreign enterprises, drawing them in with its promising investment prospects and potential partnerships. Vietnam is a beacon for foreign direct investment (FDI) across various industries, bolstered by a robust economy, strategic positioning, and investor-friendly policies.
• Vietnam saw a notable uptick in foreign investment, with figures hitting USD 9.27 billion, a 4.5% rise from 2023, as the General Statistics Office (GSO) reported. Notably, the nation attracted an estimated USD 6.28 billion in FDI in the first four months of 2024, marking a five-year high.
• Foreign direct investments often bring in capital that can be used to expand and modernize production facilities. With an increase in FDI, Vietnamese plastic packaging film manufacturers can enhance their production capabilities, improve efficiency, and increase output to meet both domestic and international demand.
• Vietnam's strategic location in Asia and proximity to major regional shipping lanes also position the nation's manufacturers well to maintain a strong focus on exports.

This extensive coastline plays a crucial role in the nation's trade and transportation sectors, facilitating both domestic and international maritime activities.
• Vietnam's location and extensive coastline with numerous seaports make it an ideal hub for export-oriented manufacturing. As more foreign enterprises set up operations in Vietnam, the plastic packaging films produced can easily be exported to neighboring countries and other global markets, driving growth in the industry.
• Increasing awareness and concern about plastic waste and its environmental impact are leading to stricter regulations on plastic production and usage. Compliance with these regulations can increase costs and require investments in sustainable practices and materials.
• While Vietnam is attracting significant foreign investment, other countries in the region, such as China, India, and Thailand, also have strong plastic packaging industries. Competing with these established markets can be challenging for Vietnamese manufacturers.
