Although the provincial support industry capacity has improved significantly, the sector has met only 40-45 percent of the textile, garment and footwear industries’ demand, 10-20 percent of demand for the less-than-9-seat automobile manufacturing and assembling industry, 15 percent of the electronics, information technology and telecommunications industry’s demand, and five percent of the demand of electronics-for-special-use and high-tech electronics sectors.
According to Binh Duong Province Department of Industry and Trade’s data, the province is home to about 2,300 support industry enterprises, forming production links between domestic businesses and foreign direct investment (FDI) companies. In recent years, Binh Duong has prioritized development of materials and accessories serving the textile and garment, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronic industries.
The province has built a 1,000-hectare industrial park in Bau Bang District to attract capital, especially foreign investment, in support industries.
Development acceleration

The department is promoting support industry restructuring to improve industrial production capacity and increase the local content of products, minimize dependence on imported materials, and add value to exports.
In the 2021-2025 period, Binh Duong will continue to help support industry enterprises become suppliers of domestic and foreign customers, attract foreign investment in support industries, assist enterprises to apply international standard management systems, and improve the quality of human resources.
The province will continue to prioritize the development of high value-added industries and increase the local content of products, create a favorable investment environment, form industrial zones for production of spare parts, components and auxiliary materials for industries, help small and medium sized enterprises participate in support industry production and supply of components, spare parts and raw materials.
