Industry Findings: Regulatory reform and targeted industrial funds have accelerated memory-related capacity planning nationwide. A decisive non-vendor action was issuance of investment-support and semiconductor-enabling measures in Dec-2024 that align incentives for fabs, OSATs, and AI R&D. That intervention encouraged integrators and system planners to include local-content scenarios in sourcing models and to prioritise memory architectures that support onshore validation and staged dataset persistence. The practical consequence was faster local certification cycles and more conservative refresh plans that favour proven memory modules with clear upgrade paths.
Industry Player Insights: The market in Vietnam consists of numerous players, including Samsung Electronics, Western Digital, Micron Technology, and SK hynix etc. Samsung Display announced a US$1.8 billion OLED manufacturing investment in Sep-2024, expanding advanced electronics capacity in northern provinces and indirectly strengthening the local supply ecosystem for memory-adjacent components. In a separate development, global contract-manufacturing and assembly groups increased footprint investments in 2024–2025 that improved local packaging and subsystem options; these changes helped integrators shorten lead times when qualifying memory+controller pairings for AI edge appliances. Together these vendor developments improved procurement certainty for Vietnamese AI deployments.
