Vietnam's internet economy grew by 31 per cent last year compared to 2020 and reached a scale of $21 billion. Of that, the online retail sector expanded by 53 per cent and touched a scale of $13 billion.
During the first two waves of COVID-19, the number of online consumers increased drastically in both quantity and quality. The second wave created a fresh and stronger stimulus for e-commerce in the medium and long term and the digital transformation of both traders and consumers was more evident.
The number of new online consumers continues to climb, and a large number of buyers have become smart consumers, more proficient in online shopping skills. A part of consumers even has prioritised online shopping over traditional shopping, according to a Vietnamese media report.
