According to Samsung's statistics, around 50% of Samsung's smartphones and tablets are produced in Vietnam and exported to 128 countries and territories, including the US, Europe, Russia and Southeast Asia. 

In 2018, Samsung Vietnam’s exports are estimated to top US$60 billion, up 12% year-on-year and accounting for 25% of Vietnam’s total export turnover. 

Lee Jae Yong, Samsung’s vice chairman, in his visit to Vietnam in October said the group considered Vietnam its largest production hub worldwide.
