Will The Consumption Trend Of Vietnamese People Increase In 2025?

Entering 2025, Vietnam’s economic landscape will continue to witness major changes as consumers become increasingly interested in how to spend during economic upheaval. This sign shows that businesses must quickly grasp consumer trends in 2025 and equip them with the necessary solutions to optimize customer experience.

According to the “Asia Pacific Consumer Survey 2024” report by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Vietnam, up to 63% of Vietnamese consumers consider inflation the top risk in the next 12 months. However, ignoring concerns about inflation, Vietnamese people still tend to increase spending, especially during Tet holidays.

The survey surveyed the opinions of more than 7,000 consumers in the region, including 515 Vietnamese consumers, and showed a strong trend of increasing spending in several categories. Specifically, up to 63% of Vietnamese people are expected to increase spending on necessities, 52% on clothes, and 48% on healthcare products. This reflects the ever-increasing consumption demand despite economic pressure and is a sign that businesses must quickly grasp to optimize customer experience.

Consumption Trends of Vietnamese People

Priority for necessities and health products

Vietnamese consumers tend to focus on essential products and healthcare. Besides necessities and clothing, health products are also the top priority of Vietnamese consumers. This is an opportunity for consumer goods and healthcare businesses to build appropriate product strategies and seize this high demand to meet customer expectations during peak shopping occasions such as holidays and Tet 2025 approaching.

Increase investment in sustainable and environmentally friendly products

Sustainability is not only a global trend but also has gradually become an important criterion for Vietnamese consumers. PwC’s report reveals that 94% of Vietnamese consumers said they have experienced the negative impacts of climate change in their daily lives and are more aware of their environmental responsibility. In particular, 74% of consumers are willing to pay more than 20% for products made from recycled or environmentally friendly materials, and 85% are willing to buy an electric or hybrid vehicle in the next three years. This shows that sustainability is not just a temporary trend but an important factor for businesses to build loyalty and trust from customers.

Special attention to brand trust and credibility

Modern Vietnamese consumers are not only looking for the right products but also want to have a trusting relationship with brands. They are willing to be loyal to brands that demonstrate sustainable values, deliver omnichannel experiences, and meet customer needs. Businesses need to take advantage of this opportunity to create a strong connection, go beyond mere transactions, and deeply engage with customers.
