The Hanoi People’s Committee has recently issued a comprehensive plan to boost exports in 2026, targeting robust growth in key industrial sectors and expanding the city's presence across potential international markets.
Under this plan, Hanoi aims for export growth rates of 7% to 15% across various regional markets. The city intends to maintain stability in traditional markets, including the United States, the EU, Japan, South Korea, China, and ASEAN. Simultaneously, Hanoi will maximize the advantages offered by new-generation Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) such as the EVFTA, CPTPP, RCEP, and VIFTA, while actively exploring emerging markets in the Middle East, South Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
Regarding product structure, the city is prioritizing high-value-added and high-tech product groups. Specific growth targets for key sectors have been established: computers, electronic products, and components (11% to 14%); handicrafts and ceramics (expected to see the highest growth at 12% to 18); textiles, garments, and footwear (10% to 13%); agricultural products and processed food (10% to 15%); and Wood and wood products (10% to 14%)
For different business segments, the city is placing special emphasis on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) enterprises (projected to grow by 10–12%) and large domestic companies (12–13%).
The city also aims to expand the number of enterprises achieving an annual export turnover of over $100 million. Furthermore, the number of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) participating in direct or indirect exports is targeted to increase by 10% to 15%.
Notably, Hanoi has set a goal that at least 30% of businesses benefiting from the city’s support policies will secure new export orders. Traditional craft village products and OCOP (One Commune One Product) goods are also expected to see at least a 20% increase in the number of products entering export markets.
To realize these objectives, Hanoi is implementing a synchronized range of solutions, with a primary focus on completing infrastructure and accelerating the application of science and technology in production.
