Offshoring is a form of enterprise using resources from another country to serve its business activities, these resources do not necessarily belong to the organizational structure of the enterprise. Today’s Japanese leaders often tend to use offshoring solutions to reduce costs and improve the competitiveness of the products or services they provide. Before deciding to invest in offshoring, choosing the country is absolutely important. The country that Tech Town recommends here is Vietnam, and this article will show the reasons why Vietnam is a top offshore destination.

Vietnam and the “great leap” in the offshoring market

Although India and China have dominated the offshoring market in Asia for a long time, that has gradually changed. Countries in Southeast Asia have joined the game and proven to the world that their solutions are more cost-effective and more consistent in quality.

 Covid-19 has completely changed the business landscape, the impact of the pandemic has caused most offshore markets across Southeast Asia to close. Surprisingly, Vietnam has managed to keep the pandemic under control and develop a strong business ecosystem. According to research by Tech JDI – Technology Linkage Development Initiative (Singapore), Vietnam is the most reasonable offshoring destination in terms of technological potential, surpassing both Thailand and Malaysia.

 Offshoring in Vietnam is famous for its cheap labor and living costs, the number of IT human resources fluent in English, Japanese and well-trained is increasing day by day. Most of the big technology corporations in the world such as Intel, IBM, Microsoft, Apple have invested in Vietnam or at least have investment plans.

For businesses that care a lot about quality, offshoring companies in Vietnam provide skilled programmers fully capable of meeting world-class standards. Their expertise covers areas from mobile apps, web apps, quality assurance to emerging fields like Big Data, business intelligence, blockchain, AI.

 Labor costs in the technology sector in Vietnam are also much lower than in neighboring countries (15% – 50% cheaper than Thailand and Malaysia). The cost of hiring a Vietnamese data engineer or software engineer ranges from $9,600 to $18,000 per year, while this cost in Singapore can be up to $38,000 to $84,500 per year. That is also the factor that makes offshoring Vietnam especially attractive to many startups, small and medium enterprises in Japan.

Stable economic environment

Many Asian countries are currently facing economic difficulties and instability due to various reasons, but Vietnam is one of the rare exceptions. Not only that, the country also achieved strong economic growth thanks to the government’s unconditional support for business activities.

Startups and small businesses contribute up to 50% of jobs across the country. Vietnam also offers supportive policies, tax incentives and favorable laws, creating an ideal environment for production and business activities.

 According to Nikkei newspaper, one of the reasons Japanese businesses are so fond of offshoring Vietnam is due to cost, qualifications, professional working style, proficiency in Japanese and above all, a stable political and economic environment. established for more than 30 years – the foundation for strong development in technology and engineering.
