Geopolitical instability, rising trade tensions, and the need for supply chain resilience are compelling companies to fundamentally rethink and diversify their logistics strategies across the APAC region. This white paper gives you the data and insights you need to make an informed decision on Vietnam as a regional distribution hub:

- Strategic Connectivity: Analyse Vietnam’s position where Asia’s shipping lanes converge, including direct road, rail, and sea links to Southern China’s economic corridor (Guangdong-Shenzhen tech hub).
- Hub-to-Hub Comparison: Get a detailed Comparative Analysis of Major Asian Distribution Hubs, including rental costs, labour dynamics, and infrastructure readiness for Hanoi/Hai Phong, Ho Chi Minh City, Singapore, and Shanghai.
- The Geopolitical Shift: Understand how Vietnam’s Normal Trade Relations (NTR) status with the US makes it a de-risked gateway for electronics, apparel, and automotive components.
- Regional Strategy: Identify which Vietnamese region (North, Central, or South) is best suited to your industry, considering labor pool, specialisation, and logistics connections.
