Huong Trinh on rising investments in Vietnam’s education sector
Huong Trinh, Partner and Head of HCMC, BDA, discussed Vietnam’s growing education sector in Vietnam Investment Review.
According to Trinh, market consolidation and platform expansion will draw attention from strategic investors, private equity and venture capital firms. Global and regional players are looking to acquire local education providers to strengthen their presence in Vietnam and expand platforms across the region.
“Simultaneously, local players with foreign backing are pursuing bolt-on opportunities to consolidate the market further. K-12 education remains one of the most active subsectors, while growing demand for private higher education is driving interest in Vietnamese universities,” Trinh said.
PE and VC firms will continue to play critical roles in driving the growth potential in Vietnam’s education sector, Trinh added.
“Financial sponsors typically focus on scaling operations to enhance efficiency and profitability, leading to increased investment in infrastructure, technology, and teacher quality. Moreover, with many education providers already backed by PE and VC firms, we anticipate more exits from financial sponsors in the coming years,” she explained.
