Vietnam’s imports of computers, electrical products, spare parts, and components increased by 4.41 percent month-on-month in January to US$9.73 billion, according to Vietnam’s General Department of Customs. This follows an increase from US$9.32 billion recorded in December.
Year-to-date, Vietnam’s total imports of these products stood at US$9.73 billion. China remained the largest supplier, contributing US$3.19 billion, or 32.73 percent of the total. South Korea followed with US$2.61 billion, representing 26.82 percent, while Taiwan supplied US$1.52 billion.
Among major suppliers, the USA recorded the highest month-on-month growth, rising 25.57 percent, followed by Taiwan and Japan with increases of 22.58 percent and 22.11 percent, respectively. In contrast, Indonesia experienced the steepest decline, with imports falling 30.89 percent. Ireland and Israel also posted significant drops of 20.67 percent and 23.75 percent, respectively.
The industry remains reliant on China and South Korea, which together accounted for nearly 60 percent of Vietnam’s computer and electrical product imports. The sharp rise in imports from the USA, Taiwan, and Japan signals growing diversification in sourcing strategies, while declines from Indonesia and Israel reflect shifting trade patterns.
