Vietnam Air Freight Market Trends and Drivers:

The most dramatic change shaping Vietnam's air cargo market is the structural adjustment of its domestic manufacturing industry. This is being driven by a shift in production away from low value-added textile and leather goods toward high-tech electronics, semiconductors and components. The trend is backed by the diversification of the production base of multinational companies as part of broader supply chain reconfiguring strategies which regard Vietnam not only as a low-cost substitute manufacturing destination but also as a partner destination. This is necessary for high-value low-weight products due to rapid technological changes and obsolescence, needing the speed and security of air transport. Certain categories of cargo such as advanced electronic systems, sensors and high-end consumer electronics have no alternative means of transport and require the speed and security of air transport, creating structural demand for air cargo capacity. Air freight operators see a rise in demand for goods that are high-value and temperature-sensitive. That has created a need for specialized handling facilities and cold-chain facilities at major airports like Hanoi's Noi Bai and Ho Chi Minh City's Tan Son Nhat to make sure products are not damaged. This keeps developing the air freight market and it willingly pays a premium for speed and reliability for production cycles or to avoid working capital tied up in inventories and to gain a competitive advantage in fast-moving international markets.

Arguably, the single-most important challenge and demand driver is the pressure on existing infrastructure and the need for more air cargo capacity. Vietnam's main international gateways Tan Son Nhat International Airport in the south and Noi Bai International Airport in the north, are operating at full or beyond their design cargo capacity. As a result, there are operational bottlenecks, delays, and a congestion premium during peak periods at these airports. This has put pressure on the freight network as freight volumes have been growing faster than capacity increases. A multi-pronged approach to expansion through the construction or upgrade of new capacity is being aggressively pursued. It is currently being planned in the form of Long Thanh International Airport, a future mega-hub, where the initial annual cargo throughput capacity is expected to be several times higher than that of existing airports to relieve systemic pressures. At the same time, other existing airports are undergoing expansion with dedicated cargo terminals, cargo cold storage and handling facilities, and automated cargo sorting systems. Logistics companies and airlines are increasingly building up regional freighter networks via secondary airports such as Da Nang and Van Don to reduce congestion at the country's main airports, providing alternative gateways, and distributing traffic and investment throughout the country.

The future competitiveness of Vietnam's national air cargo industry is being driven by the level of digitization and data-led implementation of processes across the sector. Industry leaders, such as airlines, ground handling companies, logistics companies, freight forwarders and airport authorities, are investing greatly into the kind of platforms that will deliver transparency, predictability and efficiency. Internet of Things (IoT) sensors increasingly track location, temperature, and shock in real time for high-value and high-sensitivity shipments, allowing shippers visibility and control over their supply chain beyond any seen before. Big data is also being used for analysis of variables such as flight load factors and dynamic routing, optimization of warehouse operations, and reduction of fuel and delays. Blockchain is being tested as a means of providing secure, immutable and efficient document flows for customs clearance and trade finance. This will further help cut down the administrative load that has historically hampered the speed of the logistics industry and, as such, is becoming a requirement rather than an added value. International clients want the same degree of digitalization and data sharing from Vietnamese logistics providers as they would receive from providers in other parts of the world.
