Schneider Electric in the Vietnamese market?

As of this year, Schneider has been present in the Vietnamese market for 25 years. According to Morgan Duarte, Vice President of Schneider Electric Vietnam, Vietnam is currently a hot market with significant demand driven by strong economic growth, a large population, and appropriate development initiatives from the government. However, Schneider is facing a challenge of supply not meeting the demand; the market demand in Vietnam remains high and has not been fully met.

In the near future, Schneider Electric aims to focus on booming segments in Vietnam such as cloud computing, finance, and manufacturing. Additionally, the company intends to penetrate potential markets like healthcare, commercial buildings, and education.
