Vietnam’s green building market recorded strong growth in both the number and total floor area of certified projects in 2025, according to the Vietnam Green Building Market Overview 2025, released by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group.
As many as 196 buildings received green certification, covering a total floor area of 4.4 million square metres, representing increases of 20% in number and 15% in floor area compared with 2024.
The “green wave” in 2025 was driven mainly by the apartment and industrial factory segments. Apartment projects continued to lead the market, accounting for more than 30% of all green-certified projects during the year.
Notably, the floor area of green-certified apartments surged by 151% year on year, reflecting both the recovery of the commercial housing market and investors’ growing tendency to use green certification as a competitive advantage to enhance project positioning.
The industrial real estate segment ranked second, with a share of over 28%. The completion of modern production lines by multinational corporations, together with their strong sustainability commitments, drove a 54% increase in green-certified industrial floor space.
As of December 31, 2025, Vietnam had 780 green-certified buildings, with a combined floor area of more than 18.6 million square metres.
