Samsung has hit a major production milestone in Vietnam, where its factories have now churned out more than 2 billion smartphones since operations began back in April 2009. The milestone was officially marked on August 26, according to local outlet VietnamPlus.
The company’s plants in Bac Ninh and Thai Nguyen have been central to Samsung’s global supply chain, building everything from budget Galaxy models to flagship devices, including foldables such as the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Much of this output is exported to North America and other key markets.
To commemorate the occasion, TM Roh, head of Samsung’s mobile division, visited Vietnam and met with Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, signaling the company’s long-term commitment to the country. Beyond smartphones, Vietnam also plays host to other Samsung group businesses, further cementing its role as a manufacturing hub.
The numbers highlight just how crucial that role has become. In the first half of 2025, Samsung Vietnam brought in $31.6 billion in revenue, with $28 billion of that coming from exports. The factories currently employ over 100,000 workers, making Samsung the largest foreign investor in the region’s tech industry.
By comparison, Vietnam has now outpaced Samsung’s plants in India and South Korea, firmly establishing itself as the company’s biggest phone production base. Samsung also plans to expand into R&D and display manufacturing in Vietnam. This will strengthen its presence in the country and help it stay competitive against rivals like Apple and Xiaomi.
