A local socioeconomic report estimates that Bắc Ninh’s industrial production index rose 20.44% year on year in the first 10 months of 2026, including a 20.54% increase in processing and manufacturing. In October, the industrial production index for electronic, computer and optical product manufacturing rose 27.34% year on year. Foxconn, Luxshare and Samsung maintained stable production and expanded their factories.
Leaders of the Bắc Ninh City People’s Committee said at the 2026 Vietnam Export Promotion Forum that local exports remain concentrated mainly in certain electronic products and components. Domestic businesses still have room to improve their ability to participate in higher value activities and develop brands and international distribution networks. Some small and medium-sized businesses also face difficulties with financing, market information, skilled personnel, international standards and risk management.
On August 19, 2026, Bắc Ninh issued a local program for expansion into international markets for 2026–2030 under Decision No. 1098/QĐ-UBND. By 2030, the program aims to hold at least 10 training or information sessions, reaching businesses and production and business entities through at least 1,000 attendances, and provide in-depth consulting to businesses and cooperatives on at least 50 occasions. It also aims to strengthen the capabilities of at least 20 businesses with the potential to enter supply chains and help 50 to 100 businesses, cooperatives and production and business entities access digital platforms and cross-border e-commerce.
For export services, Bắc Ninh’s industry and trade authorities issued 15,140 certificates of origin between December 10, 2025, and September 30, 2026. The locality also plans to strengthen links between domestic and foreign-invested businesses and provide technology, market, financial and logistics support to improve businesses’ ability to participate in supply chains and operate internationally.
