Abstract: As Vietnam’s construction industry accelerates modernization, carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) emerges as a pivotal material for sustainable, high-performance infrastructure. With its lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and highly durable nature, CFRP enhances structural longevity, minimizes maintenance, and reduces environmental impact, aligning with global sustainability goals. Widely applied in bridges, high-rise buildings, and coastal structures, CFRP addresses Vietnam’s unique environmental challenges, providing resilience against humidity, chemical exposure, and seismic activity. However, high costs and limited expertise in CFRP application remain obstacles. Strategic investment in cost-reducing technologies and workforce training is crucial for widespread adoption. As CFRP’s benefits become increasingly recognized, Vietnam’s construction sector has the opportunity to lead in sustainable infrastructure, creating lasting, eco-friendly solutions that reflect the country’s commitment to both innovation and environmental responsibility.
