Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) Real Estate Investment Management forecasts that August–September 2026 could be a busy period for Vietnam M&A as companies have accumulated sufficient resources, site due-diligence conditions are favorable, and the pace of year-end disbursements is accelerating. JLL also points to strengthening market sentiment.
In 2025, the Vietnamese real estate M&A market recorded a noticeable improvement, with total deal value of around USD 2.5 billion. JLL attributes the trend to progress in legal and planning procedures, along with more effective coordination among market participants.

JLL expects M&A to play a positive role in portfolio restructuring and improving supply quality. It also forecasts that industrial land rents will grow by 5–6% annually. With stable macro fundamentals, continued improvements in connectivity infrastructure, and sustained positive FDI inflows, logistics is positioned as a core segment of Vietnam’s industrial real estate going forward, according to Ta My Bach, Head of Capital Markets at JLL Vietnam.

Bach adds that simplifying procedures and shortening approval times would facilitate larger deals.
As of Q4 2025, JLL reports the following figures for ready-built factories and warehouses:
Average occupancy remained above 80%, and average gross rents were around USD 5 per m2 per month. JLL says the North led new supply in 2025 and is expected to grow strongly in 2026, supported by active participation from large market players.
