Vietnam: Population and Key Statistics

With more than 100 million people, Vietnam is the world's 16th most populous country. Having moved from a planned economy to a market economy through the "Doi Moi" reforms launched in 1986, it has been one of the fastest-growing economies of the past three decades.

One of the countries that has benefited most from the diversification of global supply chains away from China, Vietnam has become a major center for electronics, smartphone, footwear, and textile manufacturing. It is also the world's second-largest coffee exporter.
