Huong Trinh, Partner, and Minh Tran, Vice President, told Vietnam Investment Review, “This pattern indicates a robust appetite for significant deals in the market. Strategic investors are actively pursuing expansion by targeting leading companies in Vietnam, while financial sponsors are leveraging substantial dry powder following a slowdown in deal activities over the past two years. Vietnam has been becoming a prominent manufacturing centre thanks to its strategic location at the centre of Southeast Asia, favourable government policies, and the availability of an affordable labour force. All are contributing to a dynamic deal landscape.” #theglobalinvestmentbankingadvisorforAsia #BDAPartners #Vietnam

For a decade, China has been the engine for global luxury growth. China now accounts for 25% of global luxury spending, but this year, China’s growth has slowed to a trickle. India today is a much smaller luxury market, representing 5% of global luxury spend, but it’s suddenly seeing explosive growth. GDP growth, 8.2% in 2023, lit the touch paper. Next: the fireworks. India is the fastest-growing major global economy. Political reform and a fast-growing, hyper-aspirational, young middle-class are driving India toward being the third largest consumer market globally. The luxury and ultra-luxury sectors, across real estate, hospitality, apparel, accessories and automotive, are witnessing phenomenal growth. In BDA’s latest insight piece, we analyse the tremendous growth of luxury in India. #theglobalinvestmentbankingadvisorforAsia #bdapartners #India #LuxuryinIndia

BDA Partners', Partner and Head of HCMC, Huong Trinh, spoke to DealStreetAsia about the growth of the healthcare sector in Vietnam. Vietnam’s healthcare sector is attracting significant investment due to its overburdened public system, seeing a surge of private healthcare chains expected to lead to consolidation within the sector. “Given the substantial upside for healthcare service businesses once the scale and brand equity are solidified, investors are particularly drawn to assets with multiple locations and scalable business models,” says Trinh. BDA has a strong track record of advising clients within the Health sector emphasising the growing interest and potential in Vietnam's healthcare market. #bdapartners #theglobalinvestmentbankingadvisorforAsia #Vietnamhealthcare #manda
