Vietnam M&A Market Analysis

Vietnam's deal market is telling a different story in 2026. Our Vietnam M&A Market Analysis breaks down where deal count and value have shifted, which sectors are bucking the trend, and what a new data protection law means for cross-border dealmaking heading into H2 2026.

What you get

1

Sector-by-sector deal breakdown with year-on-year comparisons

Deal count and value across Consumer & Retail, Industrials, Real Estate, Technology, Financial Institutions and Energy & Natural Resources – covering 2025 and 2026.

2

Deal technique analysis

Where divestment, share placement and privately negotiated transactions are driving 2026 activity, and what that shift signals about dealmaker confidence.

3

Regulatory outlook and H2 2026 market read

How Vietnam's new Law on Personal Data Protection is raising the bar on cross-border diligence, plus a forward-looking view on where the market is heading.

Why it matters

Deal count is down 27% year on year. Deal value is down 68%. That's a sharper drop – and it tells a precise story: this isn't a market pulling back, it's a market without last year's handful of headline deals propping up the total. For dealmakers, that means opportunity is shifting toward mid-sized, privately negotiated transactions – and toward those who get deal-ready before momentum returns.
