The 6th VIPF 2026 opened in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Investors are increasingly turning to ready-built factories and prefabricated facilities, with speed, infrastructure and sustainability, as well as cost, becoming important factors in investment decisions.
The 6th Vietnam Industrial Property Forum 2026 (VIPF 2026) opened in Ho Chi Minh City, where a representative of Soilbuild Vietnam said that global investment flows were being reshaped, changing how companies select production sites. The challenge for investors is to balance rapid execution with sustainable maintenance, while the role of industrial infrastructure, particularly in northern Vietnam, is being redefined.
In northern Vietnam, the relocation of manufacturing operations is reshaping supply chains and driving demand for ready-built factories and workshops. Companies are placing greater emphasis not only on cost but also on the combination of connectivity, infrastructure and high-quality industrial land, shifting from the traditional build-and-own model toward prefabricated and plug-and-play facilities.
Demand for ESG initiatives is becoming increasingly prominent in international business, with designs incorporating energy efficiency, renewable energy and green buildings receiving greater attention. Soilbuild is pursuing a one-stop service model, focusing on customer support and integrated management of industrial environments. It was also noted that, going forward, the key will be not only to expand industrial parks but also to develop high-quality production environments and deepen the supply chain as a whole.
