Vietnam’s entry into the Top 20 fastest-growing economic hubs in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is creating new momentum for the real estate market, driving demand for office expansion, raising operational standards, and attracting international investment capital.
According to Savills World Research, Vietnam has officially entered the Top 20 growth hubs in the Asia-Pacific region. The report evaluates the economic outlook of 245 cities through 2035 based on key indicators such as GDP growth, personal wealth accumulation, dependency ratios, and migration trends.
Vietnam’s strong growth performance reflects a combination of high-quality foreign direct investment (FDI), sustainable infrastructure development, and favorable demographic advantages. Notably, Ho Chi Minh City ranks as the second-fastest-growing city in the region, while Hanoi ranks fifth, supported by strategic infrastructure investments and the rapid expansion of the middle class. These results further strengthen Vietnam’s growing competitiveness and highlight the long-term growth potential across multiple real estate segments.
Savills believes that Vietnam’s inclusion among the fastest-growing growth hubs in APAC reinforces its attractiveness to international businesses, encouraging office expansion and increased business activities from both regional and global occupiers.
However, alongside expansion opportunities comes greater operational complexity. As office portfolios become more geographically dispersed, occupiers must meet increasing demands related to ESG requirements, cost management, service quality, and operational data. As a result, operational efficiency has become a critical priority, not only to support growth but also to ensure offices meet international standards in a rapidly evolving market.
According to Savills, the Integrated Facilities Management (IFM) model consolidates all operational management functions into a single integrated system. A single partner takes overall responsibility for operational performance, vendor coordination, and transparent reporting across all locations. This provides occupiers with greater visibility, stronger control, and the confidence needed to scale their operations effectively.
Mr. Luca Vadala, National Business Development Director for Integrated Facilities Management Services at Savills Vietnam, stated that operational management should now be viewed as a strategic investment rather than merely a technical support function. In fast-growing markets such as Vietnam, the challenge for occupiers is no longer finding office space but ensuring that their workplaces can keep pace with business growth and operational standards. As office portfolios expand, operational capability becomes a key differentiator, and integrated models such as IFM enable organizations to move from reactive, site-by-site management to a consistent, transparent, and scalable approach across their entire portfolio.
“In the context of Vietnam strengthening its position as one of the leading growth hubs in the Asia-Pacific region, the adoption of integrated and standardized management solutions is expected to play an increasingly important role in enhancing the adaptability and global competitiveness of the real estate market,” a Savills representative emphasized.
