Vietnam’s industrial production accelerated sharply at the start of 2026, with output jumping 21.5% year-over-year in January, according to data updated on 6 February 2026. This marks a significant step-up from December 2025, when industrial production expanded by 10.1% compared with the same month a year earlier.
The figures are calculated on a year-over-year basis, meaning January 2026 output is compared to January 2025, while December 2025 was measured against December 2024. The strong January reading suggests a powerful rebound in Vietnam’s industrial sector, more than doubling the pace of annual growth seen in the previous month. Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming releases closely to assess whether this surge reflects a sustained upswing in manufacturing and broader industrial activity.
