Industry Overview

Vietnam’s paper machinery industry has maintained steady growth in recent years, driven by industrialization, expansion of the packaging industry, and consumption upgrading. Market demand mainly comes from the expansion and technological upgrading of packaging paper, household paper, and specialty paper.

With the development of e-commerce, food packaging, and export manufacturing, the demand for packaging paper and corrugated paper in Vietnam continues to expand, driving paper mills to build new production lines or upgrade their automation levels. At the same time, the growth of the consumer goods market is driving the upgrading of production lines for toilet paper, napkins, and high-quality household paper products.

Vietnam’s domestic paper machinery supply capacity is limited. The industry is dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises, which mainly produce simple machinery, paper processing equipment, and low-tech components, such as paper cutters, slitting machines, simple embossing machines, and some auxiliary equipment.

Local enterprises still lack the technology and manufacturing capabilities for complete paper lines, pulping systems, high-speed paper machines, automated control systems, and high-end environmental protection equipment, making it difficult to meet the demands of large paper mills for efficient, energy-saving, and intelligent equipment. Therefore, the market remains heavily reliant on imports for high-end equipment.

Vietnam’s paper machinery industry is characterized by “rapidly growing demand, high import dependence, and limited domestic manufacturing capacity. “

With industry expansion and stricter environmental standards, the demand for energy-saving, high-speed, and highly automated equipment will further increase. This provides foreign machinery manufacturers and local distributors with continuously growing market opportunities.

Import Market Overview

Vietnam’s paper machinery import market is experiencing growth in demand, with a high import dependence.

According to CRI analysis, Vietnam’s paper machinery import market has maintained steady growth in recent years, mainly driven by capacity expansion in the packaging paper, corrugated paper, tissue paper, and specialty paper industries. However, due to limited local manufacturing capacity, Vietnam remains highly dependent on imports for mid-to-high-end machinery and system components. According to CRI’s forecast, as Vietnam’s paper industry further expands, the import of equipment will continue to grow in the future. Energy-saving, high-speed, intelligent, and environmentally friendly machinery will be the main growth drivers.

Vietnam’s imports of paper machinery continue to increase. China is the largest source of imports.

According to CRI statistics, approximately 25 importers in Vietnam imported paper machinery in 2024, totaling US$39.22 million. According to CRI analysis, Vietnam’s total imports of paper machinery reached US$50.43 million from January to October 2025, an increase of approximately 43.5% compared to the same period in 2024. China, Netherlands and Sweden are Vietnam’s top three sources of imports, accounting for approximately 87.2%, 4.3%, 2.5% of total imports respectively from January to October 2025.

Overview of Foreign Investment in Vietnam’s Paper Machinery Industry

Investment Background

With the continued expansion of e-commerce, food processing, export manufacturing, and logistics, Vietnam’s consumption of packaging paper, corrugated paper, and household paper is rising rapidly. Paper manufacturers are constantly investing in expanding production or upgrading existing lines, resulting in strong demand for pulping equipment, paper machines, and other machinery.

However, due to the limited manufacturing capacity of local machinery manufacturers in Vietnam, the market exhibits a clear dependence on technology and import demand, which provides favorable conditions for foreign machinery manufacturers and engineering service providers with advanced equipment and technology to enter the Vietnamese market.

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 maintains a high degree of openness to the machinery and equipment manufacturing industry, allowing foreign investors to establish wholly foreign-owned enterprises in the papermaking machinery sector. According to the Investment Law and the Direction of Technological Upgrading of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, papermaking machinery is an industry that is encouraged and supported for development. Foreign-invested projects can enjoy corporate income tax reductions and exemptions, tax exemptions on imported machinery and technology equipment, preferential land rents, and subsidies for technological innovation.
