Expanding Role of Smart Cities and Infrastructure Projects
With Vietnam speeding up its progress on smart cities and major infrastructure initiatives, the need for sophisticated automation technologies like PLCs is increasing. These initiatives, covering urban utilities, transportation, and public services, depend significantly on advanced control systems to guarantee seamless and effective operations. PLCs are essential for controlling intricate systems, including smart grids, water treatment facilities, and traffic control, enhancing their efficiency and guaranteeing dependability. Incorporating PLCs into smart city projects boosts efficiency and increases scalability, which is essential as urban populations rise and technological demands evolve. This request is further backed by the government's emphasis on digital transformation, as evidenced by a recent order from Vietnam's Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Chi Dung, who in 2025 mandated the Ministry of Construction to prepare a decree on smart city development. The directive, set to be enforced by August 15, seeks to address urban issues via cohesive legal structures, data frameworks, and intelligent infrastructure, all relying on dependable automation technologies, such as PLCs. With both the public and private sectors focusing on smart city projects to enhance quality of life and promote economic development, the demand for high-performance PLCs to back these systems is growing.
Growing Industrial Automation Adoption
The rising transition towards automation across multiple sectors is a major factor propelling the Vietnam programmable logic controller (PLC) market growth, as industries seek enhanced efficiency, precision, and control in their operations. To improve efficiency, increase accuracy, and lower operational expenses, businesses find PLCs essential for automating manufacturing and production operations. These systems enable effortless management of equipment, immediate surveillance, and enhanced efficiency, making them essential in sectors like automotive, textiles, and food processing. The push towards automation is part of Vietnam's broader strategy to modernize its manufacturing infrastructure, allowing local businesses to remain competitive both domestically and internationally. This trend is especially noticeable in the increase of automation within industries that depend on intricate, high-volume production, like car manufacturing. For instance, according to the IMARC Group, the industrial automation sector in Vietnam is expected to attain USD 1,920.0 Million by 2033, indicating a notable rise in the use of automation technologies. The shift towards increased automation leads to quicker production cycles, less downtime, and decreased human error, all of which result in cost savings and improved quality of outputs. These advantages are driving the need for PLC systems in various sectors, as organizations aim to fulfill market requirements while enhancing their operations.
