Thanh Hoa industry currently has 19 key industrial products. These are important driving forces to promote the province's industrial production index to grow by 15% or more from 2021 to present, among the top in the country.
Since the Nghi Son 2 BOT Thermal Power Plant went into commercial operation in August 2022, Thanh Hoa's electricity production capacity has increased significantly. With a designed capacity of 1,200 MW and reliable operation since its inauguration, the plant has supplied about 8.5 billion kWh of electricity per year to the national grid, contributing about 3% of Vietnam's electricity output. According to the Department of Industry and Trade, in 2024, the electricity output of 19 operating power plants reached nearly 13 billion kWh of electricity and continued to increase by 18.8% over the same period. Thanh Hoa's electricity production industry currently accounts for about 40% of the total electricity output of the Central region.
In the field of cement production, 5 factories with a capacity of 26 million tons of cement are making an important contribution to serving construction projects nationwide and for export. Faced with many challenges in market share due to imbalance in supply and demand, cement enterprises in the province have continuously made efforts to improve technology, enhance quality, and compete on price to maintain production activities.
At Bim Son Cement Joint Stock Company, identifying product quality as the core value of the brand, the company always emphasizes the task of optimizing each stage, especially focusing on raw material mixing; at the same time, finding solutions to maintain stable equipment operation, overcoming technical problems to stabilize the production process. The company's laboratory is also invested with new equipment to meet the tasks of analysis, testing, and effective production application.
Mr. Nguyen Tri Thuc, Deputy General Director of Bim Son Cement Joint Stock Company, said: "In addition to maintaining traditional bagged cement product lines, the company has been promoting the development of new product lines, typically bulk cement to meet market demand, especially construction projects. Along with that, the company continues to deploy equipment, meet standards and quality and has successfully exported Bim Son cement to the Philippines, South America, EU markets...".
With the footwear and garment industries, these are the existing industries that contribute the most to the province's export turnover. With the advantage of "golden" human resources, Thanh Hoa has mobilized large capital from domestic and foreign investors in this field. Up to now, the whole province has about 300 enterprises operating in the textile and garment sector, creating jobs for about 150,000 workers; 27 enterprises are operating, creating jobs for about 133,000 people. In 2024, the garment industry produced more than 752 million products, exceeding the plan by 42% and increasing by more than 19% over the same period. Enterprises in the footwear sector also produced more than 327 million pairs of shoes, increasing by 42.3% over the plan and 27% over the same period, ranking among the top in the country.
Entering 2025, the good growth signal of the garment, footwear and leather goods market, especially in key markets such as the US, EU, Japan... is an opportunity for businesses to receive many orders. Many businesses in the province currently have orders until the end of the second and third quarters of 2025. Mr. Trinh Xuan Lam, Chairman of the Thanh Hoa Textile and Garment Association, said: "The source of customers in 2025 is assessed to be very abundant, with unit prices increasing compared to 2024, which will create conditions for businesses to not only have high output but also better profits. Businesses all hope and set a target of achieving a growth rate of 20% or more".
Along with traditional key industrial products, many new high-value products have also appeared, such as gasoline, oil, liquefied petroleum gas, polypropylene, benzene, sulfur, rolled steel, etc. These are also products with good growth rates and room for growth. Currently, petrochemical products account for about 10% of the province's export turnover.
Continuing the growth momentum in 2024, in the first months of the year, key industries and key enterprises are continuing to seize opportunities to boost production. After the Lunar New Year holiday, many enterprises organized overtime from the beginning of the year to promptly meet signed orders. Despite the interruption during the Tet holiday, the industrial production index in January 2025 still increased by 11.59% over the same period, a positive signal for another successful year for the industry.
