Vietnam diaper market consumer insights
In the Vietnam diaper market, Vietnamese mother and baby care decisions go far beyond basic routines. They reflect a blend of emotional trust, evolving Vietnamese parenting styles, and an increasingly digital-first approach to purchasing. Diapers are a daily essential, frequently purchased, emotionally driven, and behaviourally telling.
As a result, the Vietnamese diaper market provides critical insight into mum shopping behaviour in Vietnam, revealing what parents buy and how they think, trust, and choose for their children.
Cimigo’s report includes insights from 1,500 mums aged 25–44 in HCMC, Hanoi, Danang, and Can Tho. It reveals how parenting in Vietnam is evolving across emotional, cultural, and digital touchpoints. Cimigo maps the full consumer and emotional journey of Vietnamese mums, from prenatal care to postnatal care, infant nutrition and baby care decisions from products to pre-school education and lifestyle values.
In Vietnam, diaper usage evolves rapidly as babies grow. Most mums start with tape-style or newborn diapers in the early months, but by six months, they typically switch to diaper pants for ease and mobility. Interestingly, this transition happens later in Can Tho, where tape diapers remain preferred well into toddlerhood.
This variation reflects how Vietnamese caregiving routines differ by city and life stage. Brands must adapt their products and messaging to ensure relevance and resonance in each market.
Trust is the true currency in the Vietnam diaper market, shaped by routine, convenience, and emotion. Vietnamese mums consistently choose brands that provide a sense of comfort and reliability:
Trust isn’t built overnight. Brands that deliver consistent quality and engage mums across platforms win long-term loyalty.
Vietnamese mums approach diaper choices with a mix of practicality and emotional instinct. For them, the correct diaper isn’t just about preventing leaks; it’s about ensuring their baby’s daily comfort, supporting healthy development, and making them feel confident in their decision. Key purchase drivers include:
In Hanoi, absorbency is highly valued. In Danang, mums are less influenced by discounts. Baby care consumer insights must be contextualised by region for effective brand communication.
Over 70% of Vietnamese mums purchase baby products online, mainly through e-commerce platforms such as Shopee or TikTok Shop. Yet even in this digital-first landscape, emotion and social validation remain central:
Winning in the Vietnam diaper market online is not just about placement; it’s about trust-building through visibility, engagement, and proof.
Lead with proof: absorbency levels, anti-leak tech, and dermatologist endorsements. These drive conversions, especially for tiger mums who value functions.
Tiger mums care about safety and functions, while discovery mums enjoy storytelling and gentle comfort. Consider segmenting creative assets by mindset to drive more profound relevance and recall.
Trial-size packs, combo deals, and loyalty perks work for budget-conscious and premium shoppers. These formats also encourage sampling and brand switching.
Vietnamese mums are highly active on Facebook groups, TikTok, and e-commerce. Ensure your product is visible and backed by real-mum testimonials and engaging educational content.
The Vietnam diaper market reflects how modern mothers think: with their hearts, routines, and communities in mind. Diaper purchases may seem small, but they reveal how Vietnamese mums value comfort, trust, function, and emotional connection.
For brands, success comes from superior products and empathy, insight, and cultural fit. Diaper brands must listen, localise, and lead with values that speak directly to the evolving mum.

The team at Cimigo are my favourite researchers in South East Asia. They’ve proved adept at tackling the most private and complex personal issues at qualitative research level, not flinching when the client endlessly chopped and changed fieldwork timing, or ramped up the workload without warning. They have recruited the most extraordinarily niche consumers without pause or complaint. Their patience with clients and their flexibility and hard work that went above and beyond what was initially asked of them on two projects relating to sexual behaviour means there is now no other research company we would choose to work with in that part of Asia. The fact they also pulled off a third project for us so well, on men’s relationship with beer and beer advertising, shows they have breadth of expertise— we still quote from the report they produced.
