Coaxial cable is a significant sub-segment of Vietnam's wire and cable industry, primarily serving sectors such as telecommunications, broadcasting, security monitoring, electronics manufacturing, and industrial automation.

With the upgrading of Vietnam's information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure, accelerated 5G network deployment, advancement of smart city construction, and continued expansion of the electronics manufacturing industry, the demand for coaxial cables in Vietnam continues to grow, and the industry is showing a stable development trend.

Vietnam has a limited number of local coaxial cable manufacturers, resulting in low industry concentration. Domestic companies primarily produce low- to mid-range products for television signal transmission, building wiring, and general monitoring systems, such as CADIVI and Goldcup Cable.

High-end RF coaxial cables, high-frequency communication cables, and low-loss products are mainly imported from manufacturers in Japan, South Korea, mainland China, and Europe.

Telecommunications operators (Viettel, VNPT, MobiFone) and electronics manufacturers (Samsung, LG, Panasonic) are the main end users of coaxial cables. With the construction of data centers, the deployment of 5G base stations, and the popularization of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), demand is shifting from traditional television and surveillance transmission to high-speed data communication and industrial signal control.

In the future, with the government's continued investment in communication infrastructure and the upgrading of manufacturing technology, Vietnam's coaxial cable industry is expected to achieve stable growth and gradually develop into a regional production center.

Import Market Overview

The demand for coaxial cable is growing in Vietnam, but local production capacity is limited, and the country is highly dependent on imports.

According to CRI analysis, Vietnam's coaxial cable import market has seen steady growth in recent years, primarily driven by increased investment in communication infrastructure construction, the expansion of the electronics manufacturing industry, and smart city and surveillance systems. With the deployment of 5G networks, increased household broadband penetration, and rising demand for industrial automation in Vietnam, the application of imported coaxial cables in high-frequency signal transmission, video surveillance, and data communication continues to expand. However, due to limited local manufacturing capabilities, Vietnam still relies on imports for mid-to-high-end coaxial cables.

Vietnam's imports of coaxial cable continue to increase. China is the largest source of imports.

According to CRI statistics, approximately 1570 importers in Vietnam imported coaxial cable in 2024, totaling US$149 million, a 18.5% year-on-year increase. According to CRI analysis, Vietnam's total imports of coaxial cable reached US$123 million from January to September 2025, an increase of approximately 14.1% compared to the same period in 2024. China was Vietnam’s the largest import source of Coaxial Cable, accounting for approximately 42.6% of total imports from January to September 2025.
