Steel structure warehouse construction trend market: Impressive growth picture
The year 2025 marks an important turning point for the construction industry, especially steel-structured warehouses in Vietnam. According to the latest report, the total supply of ready-built warehouses is expected to reach 18.2 million m², a growth of 20.5% compared to 2024. This boom is driven by increasing demand for logistics and the trend of shifting global supply chains to Vietnam.
Technology trends predicted to shape the future
1. BIM technology will lead the digital revolution
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is becoming a dominant trend with 35% of the application rate in steel structure warehouse projects. This technology helps reduce design errors by up to 80% and optimize construction costs by 15-25%.
2. IoT and automation applications in smart warehouses
Internet of Things (IoT) accounting for 25% of the market share of technology applications, creating smart warehouses with the ability to automate management processes. From temperature and humidity sensors to automatic robot systems, this technology helps save 30-40% of operating costs.
3. Green steel and sustainable development goals
With a 20% adoption rate, green steel and sustainable solutions are being prioritized. The use of recycled steel can reduce CO95 emissions by 2% compared to traditional manufacturing processes, meeting Vietnam’s Net Zero commitment.
Warehouse segmentation by region
North: New Logistics Center
With 7/10 localities having the largest import-export turnover in the country, the North is gradually asserting its position as a logistics center. The occupancy rate is expected to reach 90% in 2025, an increase of 2.3% compared to the previous year.
South: Continue to maintain the leading position
The South continues to be the largest market with an occupancy rate of 91% and an average rent of US$5.3/m². Projects from BWID, Mapletree and Sembcorp are expanding significantly.
Growth drivers from policy
The Vietnamese government is boosting public investment with key projects such as the North-South Expressway Phase 2 and Long Thanh Airport, creating great demand for the construction steel industry. Credit growth of 16% is expected to strongly support the logistics and construction industries.
The trend of steel structure warehouse construction in Vietnam in 2025 is shaped by three main factors: digital technology, sustainable development and market growth. Businesses need to be ready to seize the opportunities from this investment wave.
