Overview
Viet Nam's listed companies stood at 219 in 2025, a decline of +174 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 219 by 2025. Viet Nam ranked 27th globally.
Vietnam’s stock market has contracted sharply, with the number of listed companies falling to 218.90 in 2025, placing the country at 27th in the world and marking an all‑time trough after a dramatic peak of 749.00 in 2021. Over the 18‑year span from 2008, when the count stood at 330.00, the market has shed more than two‑thirds of its listed firms, a decline that outpaces the modest reductions observed in peers such as Switzerland (204.70) and South Africa (204.60). The post‑peak drop reflects a combination of tighter regulatory scrutiny, reduced IPO activity, and broader macro‑economic pressures that have discouraged new listings while prompting delistings. Despite the recent low, Vietnam’s ongoing reforms aimed at improving corporate governance and expanding market access could stimulate fresh issuances, suggesting that the downward trajectory may stabilize or even reverse if policy incentives succeed in attracting domestic and foreign investors.
