Why Vietnam Is a Global Sourcing Powerhouse

Vietnam has emerged as one of the most competitive destinations for U.S. companies seeking reliable, cost-effective manufacturing. With lower labor costs, favorable trade agreements, and a rapidly growing industrial base, Vietnam provides an attractive alternative to China while maintaining high production standards. Importivity helps businesses take advantage of these strengths with a hands-on sourcing team based in Ho Chi Minh City.

Industries We Support Through Vietnam Product Sourcing

Plastic Injection

Vietnam’s plastics sector is growing quickly, supported by foreign investment and improved resin access. It’s ideal for cost-sensitive runs, consumer goods, and packaging where tariff avoidance is a priority.

Metal & CNC

While China leads in large-scale machining, Vietnam is gaining traction in basic fabrication and precision components. For companies balancing cost and quality, sourcing metals in Vietnam can provide competitive savings.

Electronics

Vietnam is a rising force in electronics assembly, especially for consumer electronics, wiring harnesses, and mid-tier components. Lower labor costs and tariff exemptions make it a strategic choice for U.S. brands.

Textiles & Apparel

This is where Vietnam shines brightest. With one of the largest apparel workforces in the world, Vietnam dominates in fast fashion, basics, and private-label clothing. Its competitive pricing and quality consistency make it the go-to hub for textiles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Vietnam product sourcing?

Vietnam product sourcing is the process of finding, vetting, and working with manufacturers in Vietnam to produce goods for export. With Importivity’s on-the-ground team in Ho Chi Minh City, U.S. companies gain access to trusted factories in plastics, textiles, metals, and electronics, all while minimizing risk and improving cost efficiency.

Vietnam offers lower labor costs, tariff advantages, and growing trade agreements like CPTPP and EVFTA. While China dominates in scale, Vietnam is increasingly attractive for industries such as textiles, apparel, consumer electronics, and packaging. Importivity helps you compare the two markets to choose the right fit.

The strongest industries for Vietnam product sourcing include textiles and apparel, plastics and packaging, consumer electronics, and basic metal fabrication. Vietnam’s labor force and competitive pricing make it particularly attractive for apparel and fast-moving consumer goods.

We conduct supplier audits, compliance checks, and quality inspections before you commit. Our bilingual team ensures that cultural differences, certifications, and standards are handled upfront so you only work with factories you can trust.

Unlike China, Vietnam is not subject to U.S. Section 301 tariffs. Many goods manufactured in Vietnam can be imported tariff-free or at lower duty rates, making it a strong option for companies looking to avoid additional costs.

The timeline depends on your industry and product complexity, but with Importivity’s local team, factory sourcing and onboarding can be completed in weeks instead of months. We streamline everything from supplier introductions to first shipments.

Like any emerging market, risks include supplier reliability, capacity limitations, and compliance challenges. Importivity mitigates these risks through multi-stage inspections, clear contracts, and established factory relationships.

Yes. We work with Fortune 500 companies importing large container volumes and startups launching smaller-scale production. Our sourcing process scales to meet your needs, whether you’re testing a product line or building a long-term supply chain.

Absolutely. We manage end-to-end logistics, freight forwarding, customs compliance, and tariff strategy to ensure smooth cross-border shipping. This allows you to focus on your business while we handle the complexities of global trade.
