Industry Overview

ABS resin is a key raw material for Vietnam's plastics processing industry and is widely used in the manufacturing of home appliances, electronics, automobiles, building materials, and daily necessities. Due to the country's weak petrochemical industry, Vietnam has long relied on imports for ABS resin.

Vietnam's local ABS production capacity is limited. Currently, the country's major plastic raw material production is concentrated in the southern petrochemical region and some foreign-funded chemical parks.

Vietnam's ABS demand is mainly concentrated in the fields of electronic and electrical manufacturing, automobile and motorcycle parts, building materials and daily necessities, and other industrial uses.

ABS resin demand is driven by Vietnam's manufacturing expansion, domestic consumption upgrades and foreign investment in electronics assembly.

In the future, Vietnam's ABS resin market is expected to continue to grow, benefiting from the inflow of foreign investment in manufacturing, the expansion of the electronics and automotive industries, and consumption upgrades.

Overview of Foreign Investment

Investment Background

Vietnam's manufacturing industry (particularly electronics, home appliances, and auto parts) has expanded rapidly over the past decade, with the continued establishment of foreign-funded contract manufacturing and complete machine factories, driving strong demand for engineering plastics (including ABS resin). At the same time, Vietnam's domestic petrochemical and polymerization chains are still incomplete, and ABS supply is heavily dependent on imports, creating opportunities for local polymerization, modification, and downstream processing. In recent years, the government has promoted the development of industrial and chemical parks to attract high-quality manufacturing and chemical investment, creating policy and site opportunities for ABS-related processing and upstream and downstream integrated projects.

Investment Advantages

• Political stability and rapid economic development. The Vietnamese government has strong governing capabilities, consistent policies, and a focus on economic development and improving people's livelihoods.
• Relatively low labor costs.
• Strategically located in the eastern part of the Indochina Peninsula, with a 3,260-kilometer coastline and numerous ports, transportation is convenient.
• Relatively relaxed policies and regulations provide foreign investors with comprehensive legal protections and generous preferential policies.
• Vietnam has a high level of openness to the outside world, with 19 free trade agreements signed or in progress. Investors can use platforms such as RCEP and the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area to explore a broader international market.

Investment Regulations

According to Vietnam's new investment law, foreign investment in the ABS resin industry is permitted. According to Vietnam's investment regulations, foreign investment can be conducted in direct and indirect forms, such as wholly foreign-owned enterprises, joint ventures, investment and financing, and mergers and acquisitions.

Import Market Overview

The demand for ABS resin in Vietnam is growing, but local production capacity is limited and the country is highly dependent on imports. According to the analyst, ABS resin, a general-purpose engineering plastic, is widely used in home appliances, electronics, automobiles, packaging, and construction. Vietnam's rapidly developing manufacturing industry, particularly in the home appliance and electronics clusters, has significantly increased demand for ABS. However, due to insufficient local production capacity, imports have become the primary source of supply.

Vietnam's ABS resin imports continue to increase, with China being the largest source of imports. According to the analyst statistics, approximately 1,100 buyers in Vietnam imported ABS resin in 2024, totaling US$496 million. According to the analyst analysis, Vietnam's cumulative ABS resin imports from January to August 2025 reached US$301 million, a 41% increase compared to the same period in

• China is Vietnam's largest source of ABS resin imports, accounting for approximately 44% of total imports. South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Japan, and Thailand follow closely behind, accounting for approximately 21%, 20%, 9%, 3%, and 2% of Vietnam's total imports, respectively. The analyst predicts that Vietnam's ABS resin imports will be expected to continue to grow rapidly in the coming years, driven by the rapid development of Vietnam's manufacturing industry and the accelerated shift of global manufacturing to Vietnam.
