Vietnam E-commerce Market Analysis
The Vietnam e-commerce market is expected to grow from USD 27.73 billion in 2025 to USD 33.57 billion in 2026 and is forecast to reach USD 87.36 billion by 2031 at 21.08% CAGR over 2026-2031. Digital commerce now commands about 9% of total retail sales, underscoring how swiftly online channels are displacing traditional store formats. Ongoing expansion springs from rapid mobile adoption, rising consumer trust in cash-free payments, and an ecosystem where social-commerce and short-video content have turned product discovery into entertainment. Government policies-most notably the National Cashless Payment Development Project-are accelerating non-cash transactions, while free-trade pacts such as the CPTPP and RCEP are drawing in a wave of cross-border sellers. Competitive intensity is sharpening as content-driven commerce narrows the field to a handful of dominant platforms, forcing smaller merchants to refine niche strategies or exit. On the infrastructure side, last-mile investments in tier-2 cities are shrinking delivery windows, further broadening the addressable base for the Vietnam e-commerce market.
Vietnam E-commerce Market Trends and Insights
Nationwide adoption of cashless payments via the National Cashless Payment Development Project 2021-2025
Card-less transactions soared 63.3% in volume and 41.45% in value in early 2024, while QR code usage leapt nearly ten-fold. Retail acceptance is now commonplace, with 79% of food-service outlets and 74% of stores offering digital options. Linking the National Population Database to payment rails streamlines checkout, lifting conversion rates and widening the Vietnam e-commerce market. By 2025, authorities expect e-commerce to account for half of all cashless payments, embedding a structural trust factor that reduces cart abandonment.
Expansion of last-mile delivery infrastructure into tier-2 cities
Logistics providers are rolling out urban consolidation centres that trim delivery times by up to 40% and support same-day service outside major hubs. Trucks remain the backbone for inter-city hauls, while motorbikes excel in dense streets. Local authorities prioritise eco-friendly vehicles and digital route planning to relieve congestion. As delivery reliability improves, consumer confidence in the Vietnam e-commerce market strengthens, unlocking new cohorts in Da Nang and Can Tho that previously relied on cash-on-delivery.
Escalating digital-ad costs squeezing SME margins
Capturing just 1% of the Vietnam e-commerce market demands annual media spend near USD 6 million, a figure well beyond most local sellers. Active storefronts fell 6.2% between early 2023 and late 2024 as marketing bids spiralled on dominant marketplaces, lowering product variety and throttling innovation. SMEs are pivoting to micro-influencers, first-party data and community-led channels to stretch budgets, yet the near-term drag on growth remains.
Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:
Surge in social-commerce transactions via short-video platformsEntry of cross-border sellers leveraging CPTPP & RCEP free-trade agreementsFragmented cold-chain logistics limiting fresh-food penetration

Segment Analysis
B2C retained 73.25% of Vietnam e-commerce market share in 2025, yet the B2B segment is compounding at 21.75%-well above headline growth. Digital financing, ASEAN supply-chain integration and omnichannel procurement tools are persuading manufacturers and wholesalers to migrate spend online. The Vietnam E-commerce and Digital Economy Agency notes that MRO buyers in industrial zones are doubling their online order values each year, a trend that augments the Vietnam e-commerce market size for enterprise transactions.
Rising demand from tier-2 industrial parks is reshaping fulfilment. Sellers bundle financing and inventory-led models that guarantee delivery within two days, a timeline once reserved for B2C orders. Cross-border sourcing through CPTPP channels gives Vietnamese SMEs direct access to components at competitive terms, sharpening cost structures across export value chains. As adoption matures, the Vietnam e-commerce industry is poised to see B2B's share climb toward 30% by decade-end.
Smartphones accounted for 71.10% of all orders in 2025 and are scaling at an 18.1% CAGR, ensuring mobile retains primacy in the Vietnam e-commerce market. Average data use per handset topped 12 GB a month, and 84% of residents held 4G connectivity. App-first strategies-lighter code, one-tap payments and embedded loyalty-translate directly into basket expansion.
Desktop traffic still matters for complex goods such as high-value electronics, but its relative weight is waning. Meanwhile, wearables and smart-TV commerce sit below 3% share yet exhibit promising double-digit growth as 5G rolls out. This multi-device environment pushes platforms to unify session data, creating cohesive experiences that nurture retention across the Vietnam e-commerce market.
