    The Advertising market in Vietnam has seen significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences and a favorable local business environment.

    Customer preferences:
    Vietnamese consumers have become increasingly tech-savvy and connected, with a growing number of people using smartphones and accessing the internet. This has led to a shift in customer preferences towards digital advertising, as it allows for more targeted and personalized messaging. Additionally, there is a growing demand for mobile advertising, as people spend more time on their smartphones and tablets.

    Trends in the market:
    One of the key trends in the Vietnamese advertising market is the rise of social media advertising. Platforms like Facebook and Instagram have gained popularity among Vietnamese users, providing advertisers with a highly engaged audience. Social media advertising allows for precise targeting based on demographics, interests, and behaviors, making it an effective tool for reaching the right audience. Another trend in the market is the increasing use of influencer marketing. Vietnamese consumers trust the opinions and recommendations of influencers, and brands are leveraging this by partnering with popular influencers to promote their products or services. Influencer marketing allows for a more authentic and relatable form of advertising, which resonates well with Vietnamese consumers.

    Local special circumstances:
    Vietnam has a young and dynamic population, with a large proportion of the population under the age of 35. This demographic is highly receptive to new trends and technologies, making them an attractive target market for advertisers. Additionally, Vietnam has a rapidly growing middle class, which has led to increased consumer spending power. This presents opportunities for advertisers to tap into this growing market and promote their products or services.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    Vietnam has experienced strong economic growth in recent years, with a stable political environment and a favorable business climate. This has attracted foreign investment and led to the expansion of local businesses. As a result, there is increased competition among companies to capture the attention of Vietnamese consumers, driving the growth of the advertising market. Furthermore, the Vietnamese government has implemented policies to promote the development of the digital economy, including investments in infrastructure and the promotion of e-commerce. This has created a conducive environment for the growth of the advertising market, as businesses are able to reach a wider audience through digital channels. In conclusion, the Advertising market in Vietnam is experiencing significant growth due to changing customer preferences, such as the shift towards digital advertising and the rise of social media and influencer marketing.

    Methodology

    Data coverage:

    Data encompasses enterprises (B2B). Figures are based on advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers advertising by businesses for traditional and digital advertisements.

    Modeling approach:

    Market sizes are determined by a combined top-down and bottom-up approach, based on a specific rationale for each market market. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, third-party reports, and survey results from our primary research (e.g., Consumer Insights Global Survey). Next, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, internet users, consumer spending, and digital consumer spending. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

    Forecasts:

    In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the particular market. For example, the S-curve function is well suited to forecast digital products due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption, whereas exponential trend smoothing (ETS) is more suited for projecting steady growth in traditional advertising markets.

    Additional notes:

    Data is modeled using current exchange rates. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. The market is updated twice per year. In some cases, the data is updated on an ad-hoc basis (e.g., when new relevant data has been released or significant changes within the market have an impact on the projected development).

    Advertising worldwide – statistics & facts

    All advertising markets across the globe win, yet some win more than others. Ad spending worldwide reached almost 733 billion U.S. dollars in 2023, up less than three percent from the previous year. For comparison, in 2022, Switzerland ranked 20th among the leading economies by gross domestic product (GDP) with a result exceeding 800 billion dollars. Whereas global ad revenues concentrate in areas with either large populations or high purchase power – preferably both – their evolution depends on a larger set of indicators. It was forecast that, in 2024, South Asia will be the world's fastest-growing ad market, and the only out of nine with a double-digit increase rate: 12.1 percent. The second-placed region, comprising the United States and Canada, was projected to see its ad expenditure rise 7.6 percent.
