According to the Vietnam Printing Association, local print and packaging companies face unprecedented competitive dynamics. The influx of FDI enterprises equipped with robust capital and advanced digital infrastructure has intensified domestic market competition.

Average production costs for domestic printing entities remain approximately 15 per cent higher than their FDI counterparts, while nearly 80 per cent of local firms still rely on conventional technology. Simultaneously, stringent sustainability regulations in North America and the EU necessitate swift alignment with international standards such as FSC, ISO 12647, G7/GMI certifications, ISO 14001, and social compliance frameworks (SA8000, SCAN).

VietnamPrintPack 2026 provides an essential technology hub where domestic enterprises can acquire high-efficiency machinery, lower operational overhead, and transition away from low-margin original equipment manufacturer processing.
