According to Reuters, Samsung Electronics plans to invest US$1.5bn to build its first chip-testing plant in Vietnam, located in Thai Nguyen and expected to begin operations in November 2027.
This adds to Samsungโs already substantial commitment to Vietnam. By 2024, Samsungโs cumulative investment in the country had reached around US$23.2bn, making it Vietnamโs largest foreign investor. In 2025, Samsung Vietnam reportedly generated US$64.9bn in revenue and US$57.1bn in export turnover, underlining how central Vietnam has become to Samsungโs global manufacturing network.
The new chip-testing project also carries a broader strategic message. Vietnam is gradually moving into higher-value segments of the electronics and semiconductor supply chain, supported by the presence of global players such as Intel, Amkor, Hana Micron, and now Samsungโs planned semiconductor expansion.
More importantly, Samsungโs continued expansion reflects the depth of VietnamโSouth Korea economic ties. South Korea remains one of Vietnamโs most important investment partners, with Korean chaebol having production in Vietnam such as LG, Lotte and Hyosung. Recent meeting between General Secretary, President ย To Lam and President Lee Jae Myung in April 2026 further highlight how this partnership is moving beyond manufacturing into more strategic sectors.
For investors, the message is clear: Vietnamโs long-term growth story is increasingly shaped by supply chain positioning, industrial upgrading, and deepening partnerships with key Asian economies.
