Top 10 Software Development Companies in Vietnam

As a tech leader, you’re always looking to balance expertise, cost, and scalability to stay competitive and foster innovation. There is a rising tech hub in Asia with a vibrant IT scene, young and highly skilled talent, and favorable costs of living. If you’re looking to enter new markets, optimize your budgets, and tap into a skilled tech workforce that quickly adapts to new technologies, Vietnam can be a good fit for your hiring needs.

Why consider software development outsourcing to Vietnam?

Vietnam’s ICT sector is one of the fastest-growing in the world, turning the country into one of South Asia’s most advanced technology hubs. Vietnam’s ICT market was valued at US $8.3 billion in 2023 and is estimated to grow to US $13.32 billion over the next five years. Digital transformation is being promoted at the state level as the key to reaching two primary goals: achieving net zero CO2 emissions by 2050 and becoming a high-income country by 2045. 

Vietnam’s young and energetic population (60% of the citizens are under 35 y.o.) is one of the country’s most significant assets. The government supports and prioritizes STEM education at all levels, aiming to increase the digital economy’s share in GDP to 30% by 2030. Global tech giants like Samsung, Microsoft, Intel, and IBM have established research centers in Vietnam and actively collaborate with local universities to nurture a skilled tech workforce, the powerhouse of future innovation. 

Criteria for shortlisting the leading software development companies  

To identify the top 10 software development companies in Vietnam, we focused on three primary service lines: IT staff augmentation, mobile app development, and custom software development. Clutch is a go-to resource for this information because it provides real customer reviews and comprehensive insights into each company’s capabilities. We also examined company websites for additional details on services and projects to evaluate the following:

• Client reviews and testimonials to assess customer satisfaction and project quality;
• Portfolio and case studies to evaluate the vendors’ experience and expertise in handling similar projects;
• Technological expertise in the latest relevant development technologies;
• Team expertise, including certifications and years of experience;
• Engagement models: project-based work, dedicated teams, tech consultancy, or all of these models;
• Support and maintenance services: whether they offer reliable post-development support and maintenance services for long-term success.
• Education and training: needed for tech skill development and upskilling.

By focusing on these criteria, we compiled an informed shortlist of Vietnam’s leading software development and outsourcing companies.
