Top 10 Industrial Zones in Northern Vietnam – Updated 2026

SEE the SPACE is Vietnam's industrial real estate advisory and brokerage platform, specializing in helping businesses find and lease land and factory space in key industrial zones.

Northern Vietnam serves as the nation's industrial engine, home to the largest, most modern, and highest-occupancy industrial zones (IZs) in the country. With the presence of Samsung, Canon, LG, Foxconn, and hundreds of FDI satellite enterprises, the northern industrial ecosystem has become one of the most critical manufacturing hubs in the global supply chain.

As of Q2/2026, the average occupancy rate across northern IZs exceeds 80%, with many zones in Bac Ninh and Hung Yen reaching 90–100%. Land lease rates range from 100–200 USD/m² per lease cycle, depending on location and infrastructure quality.

The following article presents the Top 10 Most Notable Industrial Zones in Northern Vietnam — selected based on scale, infrastructure quality, occupancy rates, FDI attraction, and development potential for the 2026–2030 period.

Top 10 Northern Vietnam Industrial Zones at a Glance – 2026

Detailed Profile: Each Industrial Zone

1. VSIP Bac Ninh – Singapore Standards at the Heart of the Economic Triangle

Location: Phu Chan Ward, Tu Son City, Bac Ninh Total Area: 635 ha (485 ha industrial + 150 ha urban) | Developer: Vietnam–Singapore Industrial Park Joint Venture Co., Ltd.

Highlights: VSIP Bac Ninh is the first integrated industrial–urban development model in northern Vietnam built to Singapore standards. Internal infrastructure ranks among the region's best: internal roads 30–60m wide, centralized wastewater treatment, dual independent power supply. Notable tenants include Meiko Electronics, Nippon Steel, and Microsoft. The zone is a top choice for Japanese and Korean manufacturers requiring high-precision production environments.

2. Yen Phong I – Bac Ninh's "Samsung Heartland"

Location: Yen Phong District, Bac Ninh Total Area: ~658 ha (342 ha original + 313 ha expansion) | Developer: Viglacera Corporation

Highlights: Yen Phong I is inseparable from Samsung — it hosts SEV (Samsung Electronics Vietnam), one of Samsung's largest smartphone manufacturing complexes in the world. Samsung's presence has drawn hundreds of Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers, creating a self-contained electronics manufacturing ecosystem. With total registered FDI exceeding 10 billion USD, the zone has been instrumental in placing Bac Ninh among Vietnam's top FDI-receiving provinces for over a decade. Available land is extremely limited — early engagement is strongly recommended.

3. Thang Long I – The Symbol of Japanese FDI in Hanoi

Location: Kim Chung Commune, Dong Anh District, Hanoi Total Area: 274 ha | Developer: Thang Long Industrial Park Co., Ltd. (Joint venture: Sumitomo Corporation 58% + Licogi Dong Anh 42%)

Highlights: Thang Long I was the first Japanese-standard industrial zone established in Vietnam, and it remains the benchmark for quality industrial infrastructure in the north. The zone is managed under strict Japanese standards covering infrastructure, fire safety, and tenant services. Anchor tenants include Canon, Panasonic, Honda, Yamaha, and TOTO. Lease rates are among the highest in northern Vietnam, reflecting the zone's unmatched location and operational quality. No direct land is available — SEE THE SPACE can support clients in identifying sublease opportunities or built-to-suit factory solutions within the zone.

4. Deep C Hai Phong – Northern Vietnam's Largest Industrial Complex

Location: Hai An District & Cat Hai Island, Hai Phong Total Area: 1,700+ ha across 3 IZs in Hai Phong (Deep C I, II, III); 3,400+ ha including Quang Ninh zones | Developer: Rent-A-Port (Belgium) in joint venture with Hai Phong City

Highlights: Deep C is northern Vietnam's largest industrial complex by area, with direct proximity to Lach Huyen deep-water port — an unparalleled advantage for container export-oriented manufacturers. The zone's energy infrastructure includes 110kV power supply and is actively rolling out large-scale rooftop solar. Significant land availability makes it ideal for projects requiring 5–50 ha. Deep C is also one of the few northern IZs actively pursuing internationally certified eco-industrial zone status, aligned with ESG-driven investment trends.

5. VSIP Hai Phong – Singapore Standards at the Gateway to the Sea

Location: An Duong District, Hai Phong Total Area: 1,567 ha (507 ha industrial + ~1,060 ha urban) | Developer: Saigon–Hai Phong Industrial Park JSC

Highlights: VSIP Hai Phong is the large-scale extension of the VSIP model, offering Singapore-standard infrastructure and professional zone management across a master-planned development integrating industry, urban living, and services. Its key advantage lies in proximity to Hai Phong Port and direct access to the Hanoi–Hai Phong Expressway. The tenant mix is diverse, spanning Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese, and European investors. Industrial land is still available — well-suited for mid-to-large scale projects.

6. Trang Due Industrial Zone – Hai Phong's LG Anchor Zone

Location: An Duong District, Hai Phong Total Area: 401 ha (Phase 1 & 2, fully operational) | Developer: Saigon–Hai Phong Industrial Park JSC

Highlights: Trang Due is most recognized for hosting LG Electronics' multi-billion-dollar TV and home appliance manufacturing complex — the anchor investment that shaped the zone's identity. Phases 1 and 2 (combined 401 ha) are fully leased, with over 112 projects and total registered investment exceeding 9.5 billion USD. Phase 3 (approx. 687 ha) is currently in the planning and legal approval stage, representing the next significant land opportunity for manufacturers targeting Hai Phong. Competitive lease rates relative to other well-established zones in the area.

7. Pho Noi A – The Industrial Gateway East of Hanoi

Location: Van Lam District, Hung Yen Total Area: ~689 ha (596 ha original + 92.5 ha expansion) | Developer: Hoa Phat Hung Yen IZ Infrastructure Development Co., Ltd.

Highlights: Pho Noi A stretches along National Highway 5A — the artery connecting Hanoi, Hung Yen, Hai Duong, and Hai Phong — giving tenants exceptional logistics connectivity at a lower cost than Hanoi-adjacent zones. The zone hosts nearly 200 projects including over 80 FDI projects from Japan, South Korea, and Europe (Canon Electronics, Hyundai, Lixil, Dorco). Available industrial land remains — making it one of the more accessible large-scale zones in Hung Yen at this point in the market cycle.

8. Dai An – Hai Duong – Scale, Maturity, and Proven Performance

Location: Tu Minh Ward, Hai Duong City (and Cam Giang District) Total Area: ~603 ha total (174 ha original zone, fully leased + 416 ha expansion) | Developer: Dai An IZ Development Co., Ltd.

Highlights: Dai An is one of Hai Duong's most established and proven industrial zones, with the original 174 ha fully leased at 95% occupancy after more than 20 years of operation. The expansion (416 ha across two phases) provides new availability with modern infrastructure aligned to international standards. Located directly on National Highway 5 — midpoint between Hanoi and Hai Phong — the zone benefits from strong logistics access in both directions. Tenants include Prettl Vietnam, Taisodo Vietnam (Japan), and Tomoken Vietnam. Phase 2 of the expansion is actively leasing.

9. Quang Chau – Bac Giang's China+1 Powerhouse

Location: Viet Yen District, Bac Giang Total Area: 426 ha (core) + 90 ha expansion | Developer: Saigon–Bac Giang Industrial Park JSC (subsidiary of Kinh Bac City Corporation)

Highlights: Quang Chau is among the most direct beneficiaries of the China+1 supply chain diversification trend — Foxconn, Luxshare, and multiple Taiwanese electronics manufacturers have established production here as their primary Southeast Asia alternative to mainland China. With the core zone at near-full capacity (~96%), the newly approved 90 ha expansion (Quang Chau Extension) offers the next tranche of available land. Lease rates remain the most competitive in this Top 10, suited to manufacturers optimizing upfront capital costs while accessing a mature zone ecosystem. Total registered FDI in the zone has surpassed 2.8 billion USD.

10. Thang Long II – Hung Yen's Japanese-Standard Alternative

Location: Yen My District, Hung Yen Total Area: 525.7 ha (401.42 ha leasable industrial land) | Developer: Thang Long II Industrial Park Co., Ltd. (Joint venture: Sumitomo Corporation + Licogi Dong Anh)

Highlights: Thang Long II extends the Sumitomo-managed industrial zone brand into Hung Yen, offering the same operational standards as the fully-leased Thang Long I at a more accessible price point with meaningful land availability. The zone has been developed in three phases (originally 219 ha, expanded twice to 525.7 ha total), and at ~67% occupancy represents one of the best-available opportunities among Sumitomo-managed zones in the north. Key tenants include manufacturers from Japan and South Korea in precision electronics and automotive components.
