Vietnam is a leading market for implementing new technologies, with 58% of digital consumers using e-wallets, digital banking, and online banking services.
In Vietnam, over 80% of the population is represented as online consumers, according to the “SYNC Southeast Asia” research on digital consumers in Southeast Asia in the next stage of growth. Additionally, with a share of 6%, e-commerce has continued to expand at an average rate of 15% over the past year, surpassing China’s and India’s growth rates of 10% and 4%, respectively.
According to the research, regional consumers are now at a new stage in the pandemic’s growth and prioritize an integrated purchasing experience that successfully combines online and offline services. This development began around three years ago.
Because of the “interface” aspect that direct sales platforms provide, 10% of Vietnamese respondents surveyed said they had switched at least one of their buying categories from online to direct channels after the epidemic. Indicating that online shopping is still a significant channel for digital shoppers in the nation, there are still some shopping categories that customers still choose to be online. During the “discovery” stage, 84% of Vietnamese consumers said they prefer to browse and find products online.
