Industry Overview

Vietnam's tempered safety glass industry has experienced rapid growth in recent years, driven by multiple factors including real estate construction, manufacturing expansion, and the growth of the automotive industry.

With accelerated urbanization, an increase in high-rise buildings, and continuously rising safety standards in Vietnam, the market demand for tempered safety glass, a crucial material for construction, home appliances, and transportation, continues to grow.

The construction industry has maintained an average annual growth rate of approximately 7-10% in Vietnam, with a large number of residential, commercial complexes, industrial parks, and infrastructure projects under construction, significantly expanding the demand for window and door glass, curtain wall glass, railing glass, and partition glass.

Vietnam's tempered glass industry is dominated by local private enterprises, with relatively few foreign-invested companies. Most foreign-invested enterprises exist as equipment suppliers or downstream application companies.

The tempered glass industry in Vietnam is highly competitive. Many small and medium-sized processing enterprises suffer from overcapacity in low-end products, while the supply of high-end energy-saving glass and large-scale curtain wall-grade products remains relatively insufficient.

The Vietnamese government is gradually raising building safety standards, requiring the use of tempered and laminated safety glass that meets national safety standards (TCVN) or international standards (ANSI, EN) for public works, high-rise buildings and industrial zone construction.

Import Market Overview

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

According to CRI analysis, Vietnam's tempered glass import market has shown a generally stable growth trend in recent years, mainly driven by increased construction activity, a real estate recovery, expansion in the high-end home appliance sector, and the development of the automotive industry. Although Vietnam has a certain scale of tempered glass processing capacity, there is still a shortage of supply in the areas of high-end architectural glass, large-size tempered glass, coated energy-saving glass, special thickened glass, and automotive-grade safety glass.

Vietnam has a large market for imported tempered safety glass, with China being the largest source.

According to CRI statistics, approximately 790 importers in Vietnam imported  tempered glass in 2024, totaling US$536 million. According to CRI analysis, Vietnam's total imports of  Tempered glass reached US$314 million from January to October 2025. China, Malaysia and South Korea were Vietnam's top three sources of imported tempered glass, accounting for approximately 84.8%, 7.8%, and 5.0% of total imports respectively from January to October 2025.

Overview of Foreign Investment in Vietnam's  Tempered Glass Industry

Investment Background

In recent years, the number of residential, commercial, factory, and infrastructure projects starting construction in Vietnam has surged, leading to robust demand for building curtain walls, doors, windows, and decorative glass.

Meanwhile, the expansion of the automotive industry and the production of home appliances in Vietnam by large manufacturers such as Samsung and LG have also created a significant demand for tempered and laminated glass. This supply-demand gap in Vietnam's local processed glass market presents a substantial market opportunity for foreign investment.

Investment Advantages

1. Political stability and rapid economic development. The Vietnamese government has strong governing capabilities, consistent policies, and a focus on economic development and improving people's livelihoods.

2. Relatively low labor costs.

3. Strategically located in the eastern part of the Indochina Peninsula, with a 3,260-kilometer coastline and numerous ports, transportation is convenient.

4. Relatively relaxed policies and regulations provide foreign investors with comprehensive legal protections and generous preferential policies.

5. Vietnam has a high level of openness to the outside world, with 19 free trade agreements signed or in progress. Investors can use platforms such as RCEP and the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area to explore a broader international market.

Investment Regulations

Vietnam has essentially opened its glass processing industry to foreign investment, allowing wholly foreign-owned tempered, laminated, and insulated glass factories without equity restrictions. Foreign-invested enterprises using energy-saving and environmentally friendly glass production technologies can enjoy incentives such as income tax breaks, land rent reductions, and import equipment tax exemptions in certain provinces and cities.
