Recognizing the important role of industry, Bac Giang province has chosen industrial development as the driving force for development in many periods, especially in 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050.

For industrial development, in the past decade, the province has implemented synchronous solutions from devising and issuing mechanisms and policies; improving the effectiveness and efficiency of state management; to improving the quality of planning for industrial zones and clusters...

Thanks to that, Bac Giang’s industry has gained many remarkable achievements, creating a foundation for socio-economic development. The industrial infrastructure system is constantly growing in size, with plentiful types and diversified structure, meeting the needs of the economy.

According to the report of the local industry and trade sector, over the past 10 years, industry has made great contributions to the province's socio-economic development, making the largest contribution rate to the state budget. It has become the main export with high growth rate. The structure of the industry has seen positive changes, with the processing and manufacturing sector making strong developments.

Production value had a high growth rate, accounting for a dominant proportion in the total industrial production value of the province, reaching nearly 218.88 trillion VND (9.57 billion USD) in 2020 (at 2010 comparative price), accounting for 98 percent of the province’s industrial production value. The industrial sector’s GRDP growth in the 2011-2020 period averaged 19.3 percent per year, especially 23.8 percent per year in 2016-2020. The scale of the sector’s GRDP in 2020 (at 2010 comparative price) hit nearly 45 trillion VND (1.97 billion USD), contributing approximately 37 percent to the province's GRDP…

Thus, it can be seen that the 2010-2020 period, industrial growth contributed mainly to the economic growth of Bac Giang province.

Despite some achievements, Bac Giang industry needs to fix some specific problems and limitations such as growth yet to be sustainable, low added value, and poor competitiveness. The supporting industry has not yet developed, so production and export are not stable because they depend a lot on input raw materials and accessories, and fluctuations in world prices.

To make Bac Giang a modern and sustainable industrial province and one of the industrial development centers of the region by 2030, the province needs to focus on creating breakthroughs to improve productivity, quality, efficiency and competitiveness, while taking full advantage of the golden population period and tapping the advantages when Vietnam joins new generation free trade agreements.
