When brands ask me about cosmetics manufacturers in Vietnam, it’s usually because they want to know about one of two things.
Some brands want to make things closer to Southeast Asian markets, especially when they sell in Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, or Indonesia.
Some people are just looking for other places to make things besides China or Korea because they want to lower their manufacturing costs or add variety to their supply chain.
In the past few years, I’ve worked in the private label and OEM skincare industry. I’ve also had the chance to work directly with a few Vietnamese factories, sometimes on projects for international brands.
Compared to China or Korea, Vietnam’s cosmetic manufacturing ecosystem is still growing. However, there are already a number of serious OEM/ODM manufacturers that can work with brands from other countries.
When someone asks me where to start, I usually recommend the following list:

Trends in the production of cosmetics in Vietnam
The cosmetics manufacturing industry in Vietnam has grown quickly over the past ten years.
There are a number of reasons why this is happening:
1. Growth of the Southeast Asian Market
The beauty market in Vietnam is growing quickly because middle-class people are spending more on skincare products.
A lot of regional brands want to make things closer to Southeast Asia.
2. More Brands with Private Labels
Private label is becoming more common because brands want to “launch products faster without building their own factories.”
OEM and ODM manufacturing lets companies try out products before they grow.
3. Different types of supply chains
Some brands also look to Vietnam to make their products in more than one country.
China is still the world’s biggest producer of cosmetics, but Vietnam is becoming more and more known as a “secondary sourcing locati0n.”

Last Thoughts
As more brands look into private label and contract manufacturing to speed up product launches, Vietnam is becoming a more and more interesting place to get cosmetic products.
The cosmetic manufacturing industry in the country is still growing compared to China or Korea, but several skilled factories are already working with international brands.
For businesses that want to do business in Southeast Asia, working with cosmetics manufacturers in Vietnam can help with shipping, branding in the region, and being close to the market.
