Foreign direct investment (FDI) from the United States into Vietnam has grown significantly over the years, reflecting the deepening economic and trade ties between the two countries. American investments are concentrated in sectors such as technology, manufacturing, energy, finance, and consumer goods. Major U.S. corporations, including Intel, Apple, Nike, and Coca-Cola, have established substantial operations in Vietnam, leveraging its competitive labour costs, strategic location, and integration into global supply chains.
Vietnam’s participation in free trade agreements and its growing consumer market have made it an attractive destination for U.S. investors seeking opportunities in Southeast Asia. Recent years have also seen increasing American involvement in Vietnam’s renewable energy and infrastructure projects, aligned with Vietnam’s sustainability goals. As both nations continue to strengthen their comprehensive partnership, FDI from the U.S. is expected to play an even greater role in Vietnam’s economic growth, supporting innovation, industrial expansion, and sustainable development.
