​As Hai Phong maintains strong industrial growth from the early months of 2026, Gia Loc Industrial Park is emerging as one of the promising options amid the wave of production expansion in the region.

Hai Phong targets USD 900 million in FDI in the first quarter

Entering 2026, the first year of implementing the socio-economic development plan for the 2026-2030 period, Hai Phong City has recorded many positive signals, particularly in the industrial sector, reaffirming its role as a key pillar and a driving force for a new phase of accelerated growth.

Specifically, in January 2026, the city's Industrial Production Index (IIP) increased by 36.2% compared to the same period last year. Among these, industrial park development stands out as a major highlight of Hai Phong.

According to the Hai Phong Economic Zone Authority, as of the end of January 2026, the city had 2 economic zones with a total area of 42,540 hectares and 44 industrial parks covering more than 12,000 hectares. Hai Phong aims to attract at least USD 900 million in foreign direct investment (FDI) in the first quarter and between USD 3.8 billion and USD 4.3 billion for the full year.

In recent years, Hai Phong has consistently ranked among the top localities nationwide in GRDP growth and foreign investment attraction. However, alongside this growth comes increasing pressure on industrial land supply to meet the expansion needs of FDI enterprises in sectors such as electronics, precision engineering, and high-tech equipment. The merger with Hai Duong further enables Hai Phong to expand its industrial land supply, offering more diverse rental options for investors.

In addition to newly operational industrial parks such as Gia Loc (which began welcoming investors in 2025), the city has also broken ground on three new industrial parks with total investment of nearly VND 20 trillion in the very first days of 2026.

The strong momentum from the industrial sector creates solid confidence for businesses to invest and expand production, provides more jobs and income for workers, and supports the city in achieving its GRDP growth target of 13%.

Gia Loc Industrial Park – a destination attracting new industrial capital flows

Currently, Gia Loc Industrial Park is one of the locations offering multiple advantages in terms of infrastructure, legal readiness, and immediate operational capability for investors. The park has a total planned area of approximately 198 hectares, located along a strategic transport axis, close to key routes such as National Highway 5A and the Hanoi – Hai Phong Expressway, enabling quick connections to major industrial centers and seaports.

This industrial park is gradually emerging as an important link in the region's new industrial structure. From here, enterprises can quickly connect to export logistics chains while benefiting from an increasingly regional transport network.

Gia Loc Industrial Park is comprehensively invested with internal transport systems, power supply, water supply, wastewater treatment, and telecommunications infrastructure. The availability of cleared land and ready technical infrastructure helps enterprises significantly shorten construction time and bring projects into operation faster.

In addition, land lease and labor costs in the Gia Loc area are considered competitive compared to major industrial centers, providing additional room for enterprises to optimize long-term investment efficiency.

As multinational corporations increasingly expand their supply chains in Northern Vietnam, the “industrial satellite" model—capable of supplying semi-finished products, components, and spare parts to large-scale factories—is becoming an inevitable trend. Gia Loc Industrial Park is well positioned to become a strategic destination for enterprises seeking stability, connectivity, and long-term growth potential.
