Vietnam PMI June 2025 – manufacturing purchasing managers index
Cimigo Vietnam market research has collected the Vietnam PMI – manufacturing purchasing managers index since 2013. S&P Global compiles the Vietnam PMI S&P Global from responses to monthly questionnaires sent to purchasing managers in a panel of around 400 manufacturers.
Vietnamese manufacturers continued to face worsening demand conditions in June. This was particularly the case with regards to exports as panellists reported that US tariffs had caused a sharp drop in new business from abroad. With new orders down, firms scaled back employment, purchasing
and inventories. That said, manufacturing production continued to increase slightly, while business confidence strengthened.
On the price front, input costs rose slightly following a fall in May, feeding through to a first increase in selling prices in 2025 so far.
The S&P Global Vietnam Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index™ (PMI®) dropped to 48.9 in June from 49.8 in May, posting below the 50.0 no-change mark for the third month running and signalling a modest deterioration in business conditions as the first half of the year drew to a close.
Central to the latest worsening in the overall health of the sector was a third successive fall in new orders. New business decreased modestly in June, but at a faster pace than in May.
Demand conditions worsened particularly sharply in export markets, with new business from abroad declining to a much larger degree than total new orders. In fact, the fall in new export business was the joint-fastest since September 2021, equal with that seen in May 2023. A number of respondents indicated that US tariffs had been behind the fall in new export orders.
The fall in total new orders fed through to reductions in employment, purchasing and inventory holdings in June. Staffing levels decreased for the ninth month running and at a marked pace that was much faster than that seen in May. Firms were still able to deplete backlogs of work, and at a solid rate. The slight fall in purchasing activity in June followed a similarly-sized increase in May, and was the third reduction in the past four months.
Stocks of both purchases and finished goods were scaled back to larger extents at the end of the second quarter, with rates of decline the most marked in nine and five months respectively. Despite ongoing demand weakness, manufacturers continued to increase their production volumes in June. Output rose for the second month running, albeit only slightly and at a slower pace than in May.
Input costs increased in June, following a first decline in almost two years during May. That said, the rate of inflation was only slight and weaker than the series average. Where input costs rose, panellists linked this to material shortages and a depreciation of the dong versus the US dollar. Material shortages also contributed to a lengthening of suppliers’ delivery times, with poor weather conditions and transportation delays also among the factors resulting in longer lead times. Vendor performance deteriorated solidly, and to the largest degree since February.
The renewed increase in input costs led manufacturers to raise their output prices, thereby ending a five-month sequence of decline. The pace of inflation was only marginal, however.
Finally, business confidence continued to recover from the 44-month low seen in April. Hopes for more stable market conditions and a reduction in trade tensions were among the factors supporting the optimistic outlook, which was nonetheless weaker than the series average.
Approach
The S&P Global Vietnam Manufacturing PMI® is compiled by S&P Global from responses to monthly questionnaires sent to purchasing managers in a panel of around 400 manufacturers. The panel is stratified by detailed sector and company workforce size, based on contributions to GDP.
Survey responses are collected by Cimigo Vietnam in the second half of each month and indicate the direction of change compared to the previous month. A diffusion index is calculated for each survey variable. The index is the sum of the percentage of ‘higher’ responses and half the percentage of ‘unchanged’ responses.
The indices vary between 0 and 100, with a reading above 50 indicating an overall increase compared to the previous month, and below 50 an overall decrease. The indices are then seasonally adjusted.
