Under its master development plan, Ho Chi Minh City expects to invest in 14 more new industrial parks (IPs) between now and 2033, covering a total area of approximately 3,833 ha.

According to the Ho Chi Minh City Export Processing and Industrial Zones Authority (HEPZA), the plan follows a "smart and green" model and is divided into three phases.

Four industrial parks of Pham Van Hai I, Pham Van Hai II, Vinh Loc 3, and Nhi Xuan will be developed in phase I (2025–2027); five IPs of An Phu, Trung An, Le Minh Xuan 4, Pham Van Hai III, and Hiep Phuoc 3 in phase 2 (2027–2030); and the remaining of Tan Phu Trung 2, 3, and 4, Binh Khanh 1, and Binh Khanh 2 in phase 3 (2030–2033).

A representative from HEPZA stated that these projects are currently in the planning stage. Since investors have not yet been selected, no significant difficulties or obstacles have arisen during the implementation process.

Once the subdivision planning is approved, HEPZA will advise the City People's Committee on organizing investor selection based on specific criteria. These include financial capacity, project implementation experience, technical expertise, and financial-commercial efficiency. The selection process is committed to ensuring openness, transparency, and compliance with the law.

Currently, the city accommodates 105 export processing zones and industrial parks with a total area of more than 50,288 ha. Among these, 58 zones are operational with an average occupancy rate of approximately 80%.
