Executive Summary

Aug 2019
Growth continues to decelerate in 2019, with producers having to work harder to sell to device-sufficient consumers

In 2019, consumer electronics is seeing the slowest current value growth of the review period. With incomes having risen during the review period, consumers were better able to afford these items, especially with a wide range of promotional offers and financial assistance packages being on offer.

Premium sales are rising as incomes and living standards increase

Vietnam’s real GDP growth remains at a fairly high level, with inflation relatively low and steady. Higher disposable incomes in the population are helping improve living standards and allowing more consumers to explore global brands of consumer electronics and experience the very latest innovations and newest technologies.

Aggressive and sustained advertising characterises an increasingly competitive landscape

As consumer electronics reaches maturity, players are having to make strong investments not only in research and development activities to cope with the needs of consumers, but also in advertising campaigns to boost sales. Maintaining a presence in this increasingly competitive market requires extensive understanding about the needs and trends of each income segment.

Internet retailing is now a major channel in consumer electronics

There has been a boom in internet retailing in Vietnam, boosted by improved internet infrastructure, higher smartphone penetration and cheaper retail prices compared with store-based outlets. Lazada, Shopee, Sendo and Tiki are the leading e-retailers in the market.

Achieving volume growth will be tougher as competition increases and consumers have less need to upgrade their devices

Over the forecast period, consumer electronics is expected to see stagnant retail volume sales overall. Despite increased efforts to advertise and market new products, key brands such as Samsung anticipate slower growth in their sales.
