Demographic Profile

Ho Chi Minh City Portrait

Ho Chi Minh City generates over 22% of Vietnam's GDP from less than 0.6% of its land area. With a population exceeding 9.3 million — and an estimated 13 million in the wider metropolitan zone — the city is home to Vietnam's largest concentration of multinational corporations, financial institutions, and a rapidly expanding upper-middle class. Real estate demand across all segments remains structurally elevated, underpinned by strong net in-migration and a persistent housing supply deficit.
