In particular, revenues from Made-in-Vietnam products accounted for nearly 27% of the total, hitting 19.4 billion USD. The ministry reported the numbers qualifying that the performance of the sector was in the first half (H1) of this year, which helps layout the tasks for H2.

Regarding the IT landscape, around 3,400 digital technology enterprises were established in the first half (H1) of this year, according to the ministry.

The figure helps make the ministry's target of having 70,000 firms working in this sector in 2022 possible following a sharp rise over the years. In 2021 there were 64,000 firms working in the sector, up from 58,000 in 2020, and 45,600 in 2019.

As of the end of June, the number of digital technology companies in Vietnam is estimated at 67,300, an increase of 3,422 companies compared to last December.
