Vietnam’s manufacturing sector sustained its expansion at the start of the fourth quarter, driven by steady increases in output and new orders, although rising costs and supply chain disruptions intensified pressure on businesses.

Vietnam’s manufacturing sector maintained its 15-month expansion streak in September as the Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) hit 51.9 points, supported by steady domestic production and record high business optimism despite rising energy costs and softer global demand.

Regarding the outlook for 2026, S&P Global indicated that manufacturers are showing increasing optimism about production prospects. Business confidence strengthened for the third consecutive month, hitting its highest level since March 2024.
