Vietnam's rare combination of robust growth, young population, policy reforms, and large-scale infrastructure investment form a solid foundation for sustainable development, with real estate playing a pivotal role in the economy.
According to Savills' Q3/2025 real estate market report, Vietnam's GDP has grown between 7.5% and 8%, leading the region, and the government continues to target 10% growth for the coming year, demonstrating strong confidence in the economy's resilience.
Sharing an optimistic vision for the next 10 years, Mr. Troy Griffiths, Deputy Managing Director of Savills Vietnam, predicts that by 2035, Vietnam's urbanization will hit 50%, equivalent to 51 million urban residents; and the middle class will comprise up to 75% of the population… all of which will drive a strong increase in demand for residential, commercial, hospitality, and healthcare properties.
Notably, the government continues to promote legal reforms and new capital mobilization mechanisms, including the issuance of infrastructure bonds and the application of digital transformation in market management. These efforts aim to build a transparent and modern investment environment, while attracting long-term capital, contributing to the sustainable development of the real estate market in the future.
Alongside these advantages, climate change presents both a challenge and new opportunities for green investment.
Vietnam, one of the countries heavily affected by rising sea levels and saltwater intrusion, is leading the region in Net Zero commitments and green infrastructure investment. Therefore, sustainable, energy-efficient, and climate change-adaptive real estate projects will become the new market standard.
According to multi-criteria analysis comparing Vietnam with other countries in the region such as Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand, Vietnam achieved a rating of 3.2, indicating a stable investment environment with positive prospects. Despite some existing risks, with a solid economic foundation, reform policies, and momentum from its urban population, Vietnam continues to be an attractive investment destination in Asia, the report noted.
