Overview of ICT Sector
In general, the Information and Communication Technology Sector (ICT) is continuing to have a strong development, increasingly asserting its role and position on the development of the country.
In 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak and its unpredictable development on a global scale affected all socio-economic aspects of countries around the world, including Vietnam. Nevertheless, the sector still achieved many remarkable results, maintaining an average increase of revenue at 7.5% over the period 2016-2020 with the employment of more than one million people in more than 60,000 enterprises.
The following overview of the ICT sector is based on data reported in the annual Whitebooks of Viet Nam ICT and annual summary reports on ICT released by the Ministry of Information and Telecommunication as well as data reported in related official news sites. It shows the overall picture of the current situation and trends in ICT in Vietnam in general and Ho Chi Minh City in particular.
