Vietnam PMI findings

Vietnam PMI August 2025

Manufacturing production continued to increase in the Vietnamese manufacturing sector during August, but at a slower pace amid a subdued demand environment. In fact, new orders decreased following a return to growth in July, contributing to a further fall in employment amid evidence of spare capacity.

Some firms mentioned raw material scarcity, which was partly behind a lengthening of suppliers’ delivery times and the sharpest rise in input costs in the year-to-date. The S&P Global Vietnam Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index™ (PMI®) remained above the 50.0 nochange mark in August and signalled a second consecutive monthly improvement in the health of the manufacturing sector. That said, at 50.4, the PMI was down from 52.4 in July and registered only a marginal strengthening in business conditions.

The main positive from the latest survey was a sustained expansion of manufacturing production, with growth recorded for the fourth month running. The increase in August was solid, albeit slower than that seen in July. Those firms that raised output did so in response to positive new order inflows at their units, while the slowdown in the upturn reflected reports of a subdued demand environment.

New orders decreased in August, after having risen for the first time in four months during July. Demand conditions were reportedly muted, in part due to US tariffs. Issues around tariffs meant that new export orders continued to fall, the tenth month running in which this has been the case. The solid reduction seen in August was sharper than that seen for total new business.

With new orders down, manufacturers again scaled back their workforce numbers midway through the third quarter of the year. Employment decreased for the eleventh successive month, and at a modest pace. The drop in new orders, however, meant that spare capacity remained evident in the sector. Backlogs of work fell markedly, and to the largest degree since April.

Vietnam PMI Trend August 2025

Stocks of finished goods were also down as firms reported a reluctance to hold inventories at a time of falling new orders, and the dispatch of finished products to customers. While manufacturers reduced their staffing levels and stocks of finished goods, an increase in purchasing activity was recorded for the second month running, linked by panellists to higher output requirements and efforts to build stocks ahead of an expected improvement in demand.

Stocks of purchases fell, however, amid reports of a reduction of imports. Material scarcity also impacted efforts to secure inputs, with suppliers’ delivery times lengthening solidly. Material shortages, tariffs and increased transportation costs meant that input prices increased again in August. The rate of inflation ticked higher and was the fastest in 2025 so far, albeit remaining weaker than the series average.

Output prices rose for the third month running on the back of higher taxes and the pass through of increased input costs to customers. Charges were up modestly, and at a broadly similar pace to that seen in July. Finally, business confidence strengthened to a six-month high in August, albeit remaining below the series average. A number of respondents predicted an improvement in new orders over the coming year, supporting optimism around output. On the other hand, concerns around global economic conditions limited confidence.

Approach

The S&P Global Vietnam Manufacturing PMI® is compiled by S&P Global from responses to monthly questionnaires sent to purchasing managers in a panel of around 400 manufacturers. The panel is stratified by detailed sector and company workforce size, based on contributions to GDP.

Survey responses are collected by Cimigo Vietnam in the second half of each month and indicate the direction of change compared to the previous month. A diffusion index is calculated for each survey variable. The index is the sum of the percentage of ‘higher’ responses and half the percentage of ‘unchanged’ responses.

The indices vary between 0 and 100, with a reading above 50 indicating an overall increase compared to the previous month, and below 50 an overall decrease. The indices are then seasonally adjusted.

It's been a great experience working with the Cimigo team. The team was highly professional, proactive, and supportive, handling many complicated requests from us in such a limited time. I appreciate our cooperation and will definitely recommend Cimigo for upcoming similar projects.

The team at Cimigo are my favourite researchers in South East Asia. They’ve proved adept at tackling the most private and complex personal issues at qualitative research level, not flinching when the client endlessly chopped and changed fieldwork timing, or ramped up the workload without warning. They have recruited the most extraordinarily niche consumers without pause or complaint. Their patience with clients and their flexibility and hard work that went above and beyond what was initially asked of them on two projects relating to sexual behaviour means there is now no other research company we would choose to work with in that part of Asia.  The fact they also pulled off a third project for us  so well, on men’s relationship with beer and beer advertising, shows they have breadth of expertise— we still quote from the report they produced.

If only all our research partners were as switched on and easy to work with.

Chris Elkin - Founder

I have partnered with Cimigo over the past 15 years. Most recently Cimigo engaged us to collaborate on an unusually tough new product development project, which was akin to selling ice to Eskimos. Cimigo bought alive the consumer, her shopping journey, her cooking rituals and potential brand promises. Cimigo inspired our creative team to build alternate brand propositions and accompanying package designs. Cimigo then went back to consumers to evaluate, iterate and optimise these in focus groups. The Doodle team were able to observe this process and subtly adjust the expression of the brand between focus groups. The result of this great collaboration was a winning brand proposition and packaging design that hit consumer needs head on whilst appealing to their hearts.

Rick Reid - Creative Director

As a creative director I have used the services of Cimigo for the past 15 years when developing communications, so I know their style, innovations and resources well. Most recently we tested copy for print, out of home and digital communications to put an Australian colloquialism into a Vietnamese context. A job and budget so small I felt it was highly likely to fall through the cracks. I was astounded at their incredible response. From their advice and style of how we should present the stimulus material, to their cross-reference manoeuvres used in the testing. Their over-delivering response, was to an embarrassing level. We walked away with a clear winner and could present back to our client with confidence and clarity. Cimigo made us look great. Plus they even threw in a few extra insights on the awareness and perception of the product in Vietnam.

Cimigo designed a customer experience programme for Coats that reached into Vietnamese, Chinese and Korean customers across various levels of seniority. Cimigo instilled the importance of the voice of the customer within our executive committee. This led to fundamental changes in our structure, services and speed to market. Significant investments were made behind these improvement programmes, for example in reducing delivery times and in managing specialised custom orders, which in turn have led to improved revenue streams and higher margin sales.

Cimigo is not the type of agency that "fill in the template", but it's customized as per the needs and expectations of Client. Cimigo makes research interesting by applying new approaches to address the business issue, for example, it's known by default that product test is CLT, but at Cimigo, we did group debate for deeper understandings and insights and that resulted as a winning product which is selling well in the market. Last but not least, Cimigo makes me understand that research is a journey, not just a project."
Cimigo is not the type of agency that "fill in the template", but it's customized as per the needs and expectations of Client. Cimigo makes research interesting by applying new approaches to address the business issue, for example, it's known by default that product test is CLT, but at Cimigo, we did group debate for deeper understandings and insights and that resulted as a winning product which is selling well in the market. Last but not least, Cimigo makes me understand that research is a journey, not just a project."
