Vietnam’s industrial real estate sector has great potential for developing more projects related to data centres, cold storages, and logistics, according to John Campbell, Associate Director, Head of Industrial Services at Savills Vietnam.

He forecast that the demand for industrial land will remain high this year. A remarkable point is the increasing trend of investment in specialised products such as ready-built warehouses (RBW), ready-built factories (RBF), logistics facilities, and data centres.

Main opportunities in the logistics industry include last-mile logistics services and the implementation of a logistics 4.0 system, said Campbell.

Moreover, investors can take advantage of the lack of cold storages in Vietnam to develop new projects, and increase supply for the market, he said, adding that the construction of built-to-suit warehouses to meet special technical requirements is also an attraction for investors./.
