The sector's GDP contribution is estimated at VND989.02 trillion, a rise of 11.2% compared to the previous year, according to the Ministry of Information and Communications.
Meanwhile, the total workforce in the industry reached about 1.54 million employees, up 2%.
The digital technology industry (ICT) alone accounted for VND3.88 quadrillion in revenue, reflecting a 14.1% growth. By 2025, the ICT sector aims to achieve VND4.32 quadrillion in revenue, representing an 11% increase from 2024.
