How to Find Plastic Manufacturers in Vietnam: Top Suppliers and Sourcing Guide
Finding a plastic manufacturer in Vietnam is not hard. There are nearly 4,000 of them. The hard part is figuring out which ones can actually deliver your product, on spec, on time, at a price that works.
Vietnam exported $6.7 billion in plastic products in 2024 (up 30% year over year), and the range of capabilities across its factories is enormous, from basic household goods to precision medical components and automotive-grade engineering plastics.
This guide cuts through the noise with current industry data, a vetted supplier list, and a practical framework for evaluating factories before you commit.

Vietnam's Plastics Industry at a Glance
Vietnam's plastics sector has grown at 16% to 18% annually over the past decade, making it one of the country's fastest-expanding industries. According to the Vietnam Plastics Association (VPA), the market reached $32 billion in 2024 with more than 7,000 enterprises across the value chain. About 90% are small and medium-sized, concentrated in southern Vietnam.
Export value (2024): $6.7 billion, up 29.8% from 2023. The US, Japan, ASEAN, the EU, and South Korea account for roughly 83% of total plastic exports.
Market volume: Estimated at roughly 11 million tons in 2025, projected to reach 17.7 million tons by 2030 (8% to 9% compound annual growth rate).
Geographic concentration: About 84% of production is in southern Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong, Dong Nai). About 14% is in the north, 2% in the central region. If you are sourcing plastics, focus your supplier search in the south.
Raw material dependency: Vietnam imports 80% to 85% of its virgin resin (PE, PP, PVC, PET), primarily from China (32%), South Korea (17%), and Japan (7%). This means prices can shift with global oil markets and currency fluctuations. Discuss pricing validity periods with any supplier.
The largest consumption sectors: packaging (roughly half of all plastic use), construction materials (PVC pipes, insulation, building panels), technical and industrial components (electronics housings, connectors), and consumer goods.
What Plastic Products Can You Source from Vietnam?
Product availability depends on the specific factory's equipment, certifications, and capacity, but here is what the market supports broadly:
Packaging is the largest segment: food and beverage containers, pharmaceutical packaging, cosmetic bottles, industrial drums, shopping bags, and flexible films. Driven by Vietnam's booming food processing sector and e-commerce growth.
Household and consumer goods: Kitchenware, storage containers, furniture, cleaning tools, and garden supplies. Duy Tan and Viet Nhat are major domestic players.
Construction materials: PVC pipes, insulation, wall panels, vinyl flooring, and ceiling tiles.
Automotive and electronics components: Dashboard parts, bumpers, connector housings, device casings, and insulation. The relocation of Samsung, Foxconn, and other manufacturers to Vietnam is driving demand for engineering-grade plastics (polycarbonate, ABS, nylon).
Medical supplies: Syringes, IV bags, specimen containers, and protective equipment. Several factories hold ISO 13485 certification for medical device manufacturing.
Other categories: Toys, sporting goods, pet products, luggage, agricultural supplies (greenhouse films, irrigation components), and office products.

How to Evaluate a Vietnamese Plastic Supplier
Finding factories is the easy part. Qualifying them is where sourcing projects succeed or fail.
Certifications and Standards
At minimum, look for ISO 9001 (quality management). Medical plastics require ISO 13485. Food-contact applications need FDA or EU compliance verification. Environmental certifications like ISO 14001 are increasingly relevant for buyers with sustainability mandates. Ask for certificate copies and verify them independently; do not take a factory's word for it.
Samples Before Production
Never commit to a production order without evaluating samples first. For injection-molded products, this means paying for a prototype or pilot run. Evaluate dimensional accuracy, surface finish, material consistency, and packaging quality. Finding problems at this stage costs a fraction of what it costs after a full production run ships.
MOQs, Mold Costs, and Lead Times
MOQs vary widely. Simple household items might start at 1,000 to 5,000 pieces. Custom injection-molded parts typically require 5,000 to 10,000+ pieces per run to be cost-effective, plus the initial mold investment. Mold costs in Vietnam typically range from $2,000 to $15,000+ depending on complexity, size, and material (aluminum molds are cheaper but less durable than steel). Mold fabrication usually takes 4 to 8 weeks. Production lead times after mold approval run 30 to 60 days depending on volume.
Clarify mold ownership in writing before production starts. In Vietnam, the buyer typically owns the mold if they paid for it, but this should be explicit in your agreement.
Factory Visits and Audits
A factory visit lets you verify production capacity, inspect equipment condition, assess worker conditions, and evaluate management. Most southern Vietnam factories are within a few hours of Ho Chi Minh City, making multi-factory visits feasible in a few days. If you cannot visit in person, hire a third-party auditor.
Export Experience and Communication
Factories that primarily serve Vietnam's domestic market may have limited English support and less familiarity with international shipping documentation and compliance requirements. Prioritize factories with a track record exporting to your target market. Ask for customer references and check whether they have experience with your industry's specific testing and certification standards.
Practical Sourcing Tips
Provide detailed specs. Vietnamese factories work best with clear drawings, 3D models (STEP or IGES files for injection molding), material specifications, tolerances, and finish requirements. Vague briefs lead to misquotes and wasted time.
Get multiple quotes. Pricing varies significantly between factories. We recommend quoting three to five suppliers minimum. Finding Vietnamese suppliers is different from China; Alibaba is not the main resource. See our Alibaba alternatives guide for better options.
Plan for longer timelines than China. Vietnam's supply chain is capable but not as fast. Mold fabrication, sample approval, production, and shipping all take longer. Build in buffer time, especially on first orders. For more on what to expect, read our Vietnam manufacturing and sourcing guide.
Use third-party inspections. For any significant order, hire a QC inspector to check production before shipment. Common plastic failure modes include short shots (incomplete mold filling), flash (excess material at mold seams), warping, color inconsistency, and dimensional drift over long production runs.
Watch resin price volatility. With 80% to 85% of resin imported, raw material costs are sensitive to global commodity prices and currency movements. Discuss pricing validity periods and cost adjustment mechanisms with your supplier.
Tariffs and Import Considerations
Photos from Client visit to a Plastic Factory in Vietnam
As of late 2025, the US maintains a 20% reciprocal tariff on most Vietnamese goods. This was set after the initial 46% tariff announced in April 2025 was reduced through bilateral negotiations. The US and Vietnam reached a framework agreement in October 2025 that keeps the 20% rate but identifies product categories where the tariff may drop to zero, with details still being finalized.
Products containing steel and aluminum may face 50% tariffs under Section 232, and transshipments through Vietnam from third countries face 40%.
Even at 20%, Vietnamese plastics remain competitive against Chinese-origin goods, which face significantly higher combined tariff rates. Factor tariff costs into your landed cost calculations and consult a customs broker for product-specific guidance.

Finding Manufacturers Beyond This List
Vietnam has nearly 4,000 plastics enterprises. The right factory depends on your product, volume, and budget.
Vietnam Plastics Association (VPA): Member directory searchable by product type and region.
Trade shows: Plastics & Rubber Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City) and VietnamPlas are the main industry events for meeting suppliers face-to-face.
Online platforms: Global Sources, Made-in-Vietnam, and Vietnamese trade directories list plastics suppliers, though listing quality varies.
Sourcing companies with on-the-ground teams: A sourcing company with staff in Vietnam can pre-screen factories, arrange visits, and manage quality control on your behalf. This is especially valuable if you are sourcing from Vietnam for the first time.
