Vietnam Transportation Sector Report 2025-2026

Vietnam's transportation sector incorporates the complete spectrum of transportation modes, such as aviation, coastal, sea and inland waterway shipping, road and rail transport, but road transport is used to move the majority of both passengers and goods inside the country. According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade's Vietnam Logistics Report 2024, the total length of roads in Vietnam stood at 595,125 km. Some 4.4% of the total road length was accounted for by national roads and highways, which came to 26,484 km. Despite consistent growth, fuelled by growing imports and exports, domestic and international travel, and deregulation and infrastructure investment, Vietnam's transport infrastructure and services continue to suffer from deficiencies. These deficiencies include development gaps between regions and lagging institutional oversight and regulatory frameworks. Vietnam is situated along the primary maritime shipping route that connects the Far East to Europe and the United States and is responsible for approximately 40% of global containerised trade. This advantageous geographical position creates strong potential for the country to become a global maritime transport centre. Vietnam's potential for development in the transportation sector is further supported by the country's export-oriented agribusiness and manufacturing industries.
