Cimigo, the leading market research company in Vietnam, has identified the major trends in consumer marketing in 2018. Vietnam continues to be growing economy, an important force to understand in the global marketplace. Vietnam is constantly pushing the limits in growth and this leads to a sharp dichotomy in many market forces.
Opposing market forces impacting consumer behaviour in Vietnam. This report addresses the major trends in consumer marketing in 2018.
1. Poor to rich households in Vietnam
2. Rural to urban population in Vietnam
3. Ho Chi Minh City momentum faster than Hanoi
4. Spacious to high density living in Vietnam
5. Risk averse to entrepreneurial empowerment in Vietnam
6. Homogenous consumer packaged goods to highly fragmented in Vietnam
7. Young to old population growth in Vietnam
8. Purchase priorities shift from ownership to experiences as the new signals of success in Vietnam
9. Local and Asian brands outpace global brands in Vietnam
10. Movement from fresh foods to safer packaged foods in Vietnam
11. Traditional trade still wins over modern trade stores in Vietnam
12. Experiential food and beverage (F&B) outlets versus chain efficiencies in Vietnam

Mark Ratcliff - Managing Director
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.
