Gen Z Vietnam is reshaping Vietnam’s consumer landscape, and they’re doing it fast. Backed by insights from Cimigo’s consumer research, this born-digital, outspoken, and globally connected generation is no longer an emerging segment. They are today’s shoppers, influencers, and cultural trendsetters – driving real change in how brands engage, communicate, and grow in Vietnam.

Gen Z Vietnam

Gen Z Vietnam: Always-on and mobile-first

Gen Z doesn’t “go online”; they live online. TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube are their daily touchpoints, not side channels. You’re invisible if your brand isn’t embedded in their digital journeys.

Gen Z Vietnam: Trust signals matter

Unlike older generations, Gen Z Vietnam won’t accept corporate gloss. They expect authenticity, peer reviews, and influencer credibility before making choices. Trust comes from what others say about you, not what you say about yourself.

Gen Z Vietnam: Values drive spending

From sustainability to social causes, Gen Z expects brands to take a stand. Price matters, but values and experiences carry weight in decision-making.
