Navigating Trade Crosswinds: BW Industrial & Acclime Vietnam Release 2025 Manufacturing Report

August 14, 2025

 

Vietnam’s leading logistics and industrial real estate platform BW Industrial and the corporate services provider Acclime have jointly released the industry report “Manufacturing & Supply Chain in Vietnam: Navigating Through Trade Crosswinds 2025–2026”, a comprehensive study offering forward-looking data and insights.


The report arrives at a crucial moment. Lance Li, CEO of BW Industrial, stated: “What’s most exciting about Vietnam’s manufacturing potential today is the convergence of two forces: the acceleration of supply chain diversification and the increasing shift away from transshipment strategies. As tariffs reshape global trade routes, more Chinese-linked supply chains are moving directly to Vietnam over the next decade.”
