Vietwater 2025 – The Premier Meeting Point for Vietnam’s Water Industry
Vietnam’s water sector is entering a period of strong development, emerging as a vital infrastructure industry that is drawing increasing attention from government bodies, businesses, and international investors. Against this backdrop, Vietwater 2025 reaffirms its role as the leading industry event, connecting domestic and global enterprises with the latest trends, technologies, and solutions. The exhibition will take place from October 22 to 24, 2025, at the SECC in Ho Chi Minh City, featuring over 400 exhibitors from 45 countries and welcoming more than 11,000 trade visitors. This year, Vietwater will be held alongside three specialized exhibitions: WETV Waste Expo, DroneX Vietnam, and Flood Control & Disaster Management Vietnam, offering a comprehensive perspective on the water and environmental sectors. Outlook for Vietnam’s Water Sector According to the Vietnam’s Sector Spotlight Series report by FiinRatings, the country’s clean water market shows strong growth potential. Over the past decade, Vietnam’s commercial treated water volume increased at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3% and is projected to continue expanding by 5–7% annually through 2030, driven by rising demand from households, industries, and commercial users. The sector requires an estimated VND 38 trillion (USD 1.6 billion) in investment by 2030, mobilized from both public and private sectors. Green financial instruments, particularly Green Bonds, are expected to play a key role in meeting long-term capital needs sustainably. In addition, the industry demonstrates stable operational efficiency with relatively low financial risks. Thanks to regulated pricing and the natural monopoly characteristic of large-scale water plants strategically located in economic hubs and industrial zones, the sector maintains steady profit margins. Vietnam’s Debt/EBITDA ratio stood at 2.5 times in 2023, reflecting a solid financial position. Opportunities at Vietwater 2025 (Image: Vietwater 2024) (Image: Vietwater 2024) Visitors can register to attend Vietwater 2025 either individually or as a group.
