According to Vietnam Customs, Vietnam’s goods exports in the first half of December 2025 hit over US$20 billion, bringing total exports from the start of the year to more than US$451 billion by December 15. This represented a 16.93% year-on-year increase, equivalent to an additional US$65.33 billion.

The standout performer was the group of computers, electronic products and components. In the first half of December alone, exports of this category fetched nearly US$5 billion, while cumulative shipments from the beginning of the year to December 15 totalled close to US$102 billion, marking the first time any Vietnamese export category has crossed the US$100 billion threshold.

This sector continues to be Vietnam’s largest export driver, accounting for the highest share of total exports. Compared with the same period in 2024, export turnover for the group increased by more than US$33.4 billion.

The record growth of computers, electronic products and components has made a major contribution to Vietnam’s overall export performance in 2025, with total exports forecast to exceed US$470 billion. The category itself is expected to close the year at around US$105.5–106.8 billion.

With exports already surpassing US$100 billion and further growth anticipated thanks to new and expanded foreign direct investment, Vietnam is cementing its position as a major regional and global hub for producing and exporting computers and electronic components.

Key export markets for the group include the United States, China, the European Union, Japan and the Republic of Korea.

After years of ranking among the top two export earners, computers, electronics and components overtook mobile phones and related parts in mid-2023 and have since retained the top position. As of December 15, export turnover for this category was nearly double that of phones and components, which stood at US$54.6 billion.

The FDI sector accounted for around 96% of total export value in this group, driven by major investors operating in Vietnam such as Samsung, LG, Intel, Canon, Panasonic, Foxconn and Fukang Technology.
