Vietnam’s production of household electrical appliances increased by 102.8 percent in January compared to the 2019 baseline, according to Vietnam’s Industrial Production Index. However, this was a decline from December 2024, when output stood at 175.5 percent above 2019 levels.

Month-on-month, production fell by 22.1 percent in January compared to December, while year-on-year output dropped by 8.7 percent from January 2024.

Vietnam’s household electrical appliances production has become a vital part of the country’s manufacturing sector, driven by rising domestic demand, a growing middle class, and increased urbanization. The industry includes the production of a wide range of products, such as refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, microwaves, electric fans, and other home electronics.

Many international companies, including major brands like LG, Samsung, Panasonic, and Electrolux, have set up manufacturing plants in Vietnam to take advantage of the country’s competitive labor costs and strategic location. These foreign investments have helped boost the production capacity and technological capabilities of the sector, making Vietnam an important exporter of household appliances in the region.

The production of household appliances in Vietnam is largely focused on meeting local demand, but the country has also become an important exporter. Vietnam exports a variety of household electrical appliances, including refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners, primarily to neighboring countries in Southeast Asia, and also to markets in Europe and North America.

Despite its growth, the sector faces challenges such as the need for advanced technologies, competition from low-cost producers in other countries, and environmental concerns related to energy efficiency and waste management.
