This trend looks set to continue into the future, given its relatively young population demographics and robust consumer spending behaviours. Indeed, the rise of e-commerce and digital retail channels in Vietnam is one of the top trends to watch: by 2025, Vietnam’s e-commerce market size is expected to be second only to Indonesia in the Southeast Asia region. In this report, we explore the drivers of growth in Vietnam’s retail sector, and take a look at some of the defining features of its new retail landscape. In particular, we examine the rise of Modern Trade channels in Vietnam, including commercial centres, convenience stores, and digital platforms. Later, we also highlight some of the findings from Deloitte’s latest retail survey, which was conducted across nearly 700 households in the two metropolitan cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in late 2018. There are several key takeaways. Firstly, although Vietnam’s retail sector holds immense potential for growth, the level of competition is intense. Across different retail formats, such as commercial centres, convenience stores and electronics chain stores, we are witnessing domestic and foreign retail giants engaged in a battle for dominance as they embark on aggressive expansion strategies. As online shopping begins to take off in Vietnam, a similar story is also playing out across digital platforms, where players are attempting to build scale amidst the proliferation of new players in the market. Secondly, despite the rise of digital channels, physical channels continue to dominate the retail scene in Vietnam. For companies, this underscores the importance of developing omni-channel strategies, and the need for them to curate coherent and seamless consumer experiences that integrate both online and offline consumer journeys across all their touchpoints. Finally, companies will also need to address several impediments that remain for online shopping, such as concerns relating to payments and data security, and find innovative ways to provide a differentiated consumer experience in this new digital retail landscape. Nguyen Vu Duc Consumer Industry Leader Deloitte Vietnam 03 Retail in Vietnam | Navigating the digital retail landscape Drivers of growth In recent years, Vietnam has been experiencing rapid retail growth. From 2013-2018, the retail sector recorded a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.97%1. Total retail revenue is also expected to reach USD 180 billion by 2020, which would represent an increase of 26.6% from 2018 (see Figure 1)2. With the influx of investments into the sector, it is poised to witness further growth in the near future (see Figure 2).
