Mergers and Acquisitions reach a total of 786 million dollars in July's figures
Vietnam's mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market experienced a significant surge in July 2025, with 34 transactions worth nearly 786 million USD. This resurgence can be attributed to a positive macroeconomic environment and the implementation of key regulatory reforms, such as the Land Law in August 2024 and the Law on Digital Technology Industry in June 2025.
Real Estate
The implementation of the 2024 Land Law enhanced market transparency and boosted confidence in the real estate sector, leading to a strong rebound in M&A activity. Notable deals include Vinaconex Group selling a 70% stake in Vinaconex ITC to three domestic investors, and UOA Vietnam's acquisition of Ruby Strip Investment Company Ltd. for 68 million USD.
Technology
The technology sector's growth is spurred by the regulatory framework conducive to digital transformation and innovation, as outlined in the Law on Digital Technology Industry. This encouraged foreign and domestic investors to channel capital into startups and digital enterprises, exemplified by acquisitions and funding rounds for AI and tech startups like Sinble Technology Vietnam, AI Hay, and OKXE Vietnam.
Energy
M&A activity in the energy sector is strong due to domestic and international interest in renewable energy and offshore oil assets. Deals include Singaporean investors acquiring healthcare assets and EnQuest PLC purchasing Vietnamese offshore oil fields.
Logistics
Investment in logistics and infrastructure is driven by the modernization and expansion of systems such as cashless toll technologies. International entities like IFC provide funding to players such as VETC, enabling them to expand their operations, enhance smart traffic infrastructure, and develop a cashless payment platform.
Healthcare
Healthcare M&A has drawn interest from foreign investors acquiring majority stakes in medical providers, reflecting an expanding market driven by Vietnam's growing demand for quality medical services.
Improved integration with global capital markets, ongoing regulatory reforms across sectors, and a strategic shift towards smaller, targeted investments rather than megadeals contribute to vibrant M&A activity. These factors combined signal strengthening investor appetite for long-term partnerships that align with Vietnam’s economic growth and diversification goals.
