Vietnam: A new Silicon Valley of Asia’s IT development industry

Vietnam is emerging as a country that provides cost-effective yet quality software making solutions in Asia. The CIO magazine has revealed that the cost for custom software development services in Vietnam is around 90% lower than that in the USA and is half of that in other competing countries like India or Philippines.

Besides the advantage about the cost, Vietnamese people are well-known for being smart, sincerity and diligent. For those with long-term vision in their custom software development, there are more significant reasons that make Vietnam their perfect destination:

1. The golden population:

Around 2/3 of the population in Vietnam is under the age of 35 and around 45% are between the ages of 15 and 35. This means around half of the population which is equal to roughly 50 million people is fit for joining the workforce.

2. High education level:

Each year, the Vietnam labor force welcomes around 280,000 graduates, who have gone through comprehensive academic courses and are eager to set out on their career path. Among those graduates, a number of 30,000 and up to 40,000 individuals have Information and Communication Technology background.

3. Hard-working people:

There are 3 main factors that determine a good employee: Attitude, Skills and Knowledge. Out of those, good attitude is regarded as the first and foremost criterion. That is why every company needs a workforce that is hardworking and eager to be with the company.

4. Cost-effective salary base:

With the annual pay rate of around $21,500 for software developers, Vietnam is considered by the Singapore Business Review to be the country with the most effective salary within the SEA region, especially when compared to the pay of $39,671 in Thailand, $47,000 in Malaysia or even as high as $72,993 in Singapore.

5. Great socio-economic stability:

During the last 30 years, Vietnam has successfully maintained a stable political environment, which in turn facilitates a steady economic development, with an approximately 7.4% GDP growth rate. Since 9/10 Vietnamese are non-religions, the number of ethnic or religions-related conflicts is scarce.

6. Bigger foreign investment:

A great number of leading corporations in the tech industry, like Intel, Fujitsu, Foxconn or Canon, have already made investments in Vietnam. The financial support from these funding has allowed Vietnam to develop and improve its infrastructure, creating an even better environment for custom software development firms to thrive.
