The latest market research report Online, mobile, social media  in Vietnam, Asia  from Cimigo presents the latest internet landscape in Vietnam, Asia. The report includes Internet penetration Vietnam, online consumer behaviour Vietnam, social media Vietnam, mobile Internet Vietnam, and online video media Vietnam. The report concludes with implications for digital brand marketing Vietnam.

Internet penetration in Vietnam, Asia

Online penetration in Vietnam, Asia has grown to 40 million Vietnamese consumers in 2015.  Vietnam’s internet penetration is now at 44%. Market research in Vietnam, Asia conducted by the market research agency Cimigo amongst 5000 Vietnamese consumers Vietnam consumer online behaviour highlights far more urban Vietnamese consumers are online than are not. Market research Vietnam, Asia demonstrates that from grocery shoppers to credit card holders the majority of Vietnam’s consumers are online.  Key decision makers for household purchases are predominantly online. Whether it is for detergents, shampoo or pharmaceuticals Vietnam’s consumers are actively online.

Market research Vietnam, Asia highlights how three quarters of Vietnam’s consumers are looking for brands online, claiming that the internet helps them find out about new products. Two thirds of Vietnamese consumers are online every day and on average are spending 180 minutes online per day.

Online consumer behaviour Vietnam, Asia

Cimigo’s market Asia research Vietnam, Asia highlights that online, mobile and social media Vietnam, Asia 2015 is dominated by local sites for news, local content for entertainment; in contrast global sites are used for online search, social media and video streaming. However for the latter local content remains king.

Whilst the use of search spans 15 to 64-year-olds there are clear differences in the usage of online behaviour, consumer market research Vietnam, Asia demonstrates that the younger generation have a much higher tendency to use social media, chatting and entertainment whilst the older population, particularly those over 35, spend far more time on new sites.

Social media Vietnam, Asia

The most used social media in Vietnam is Facebook.  The number of Facebook users in Vietnam has grown from under 1.4 million in early 2011 to over 30 million of March 2015. One in three of the population of Vietnam are Facebook users today.  Instagram is a growing challenger in Vietnam, particularly for a younger audience aged 12-19 years.

Chat and instant messaging applications in Vietnam are growing rapidly, fueled by the rise of mobile smartphone penetration in Vietnam.  Zalo, Viber, Facebook messenger and Skype dominate.

Consumer market research Vietnam, Asia demonstrates that social media in Vietnam is a having a profound effect on the online journey for Vietnam’s consumers, the sites they visit and the share of time spent online.

Mobile internet Vietnam, Asia

Mobile internet Vietnam, Asia has gone through a revolution in the past three years. Our online consumer market research Vietnam, Asia shows that 9 in 10 urban online consumers have access the Internet via their mobile phone. This is in part explained by the explosive growth in sales of mobile smartphones. In 2012 16 million mobile phones were sold however only 18% of these mobile phones were mobile smartphones.  Year to date as of October 2015 25 million mobile smartphones have been sold in Vietnam.  Mobile internet Vietnam, Asia is gaining a huge boost.

Today 20% of the internet traffic in Vietnam is via a mobile smartphone, this compares to 6% just two years ago in 2013. Mobile smartphones are clearly propelling mobile internet Vietnam, Asia and changing Vietnam’s consumer behaviour. Whilst mobile smartphone propels Vietnam’s internet penetration, consumer market research Vietnam, Asia shows that it is the frequency of access that is most strongly affected, we must remember traffic is still dominated by personal computers and laptops (and to a far lesser far lesser degree tablets).

This frequency of mobile internet access in Vietnam, Asia is gaining a huge boost, as evident in the native mobile app downloads that dominate both Google play and IOS stores.  Chat, social media and video native mobile applications dominate downloads, interspersed with an inordinate number of games.

One example of note would be is Zalo, a chat native mobile application published by Vinagame, which has grown from 1 million users in 2013 to over 30 million users as of May 2015. In comparison Viber has 23 million users in Vietnam.

Online video media behaviour Vietnam, Asia

In 2015 23% of Vietnam’s online audience has watched videos on their mobile smartphone, which is year-on-year growth of 50%. Cimigo believe the next major shift in Vietnam’s consumer online media activity will be the convergence of video and mobile, impacting brand owners communication possibilities significantly.

The next technology race for active users of a mobile native applications in Vietnam will be the streaming of online video to mobile smartphones.  Experience in China demonstrates the massive revenue opportunity waiting to be grabbed for the winner of this battle.

Digital brand marketing Vietnam, Asia

Mobile smartphones are rapidly changing the way consumers interact online and with branded communications online. Historically for Vietnam’s early NetCitizens, internet penetration has been strongest amongst those under 35 years of age in Vietnam.

Consumer market research Vietnam, Asia demonstrates that the mobile smartphone has driven penetration amongst Vietnam’s consumers over the age of 35 and geographic penetration from key cities into smaller towns and rural areas. Many of Vietnam’s consumers have simply leapfrogged the personal computer online experience directly to a mobile smartphone journey.

Digital brand marketing teams Vietnam, Asia should expect messaging applications, such as Zalo, to become omnipresent marketing tools with far greater power than direct digital marketing of old.

Mobile smartphones have entered and will increasingly impact Vietnam’s consumer path to purchase.   Digital brand marketing Vietnam, Asia will have to use mobile marketing more effectively to; reward consumers, provide geolocation marketing, build knowledge of consumer behaviour, attract new customers and enable e-commerce in Vietnam.

Digital brand marketing Vietnam, Asia will undergo a significant shift in the coming 12 months with the use of far more video branded communications optimised for mobile smartphones.

The key challenges from online, mobile, social media Vietnam, Asia 2015 for digital brand marketing Vietnam, Asia will be to:

  • Digital brand marketing programmes Vietnam, Asia need to shift quickly and effectively away from online marketing programs built for a consumer audience on personal computers and laptops. The shift to mobile smartphones inevitable and carries many more challenges for screen space, consumer attention and time allocation. Today even at the most basic level, the vast majority of brand owned online assets in Vietnam are yet to be mobile ready.
  • Digital brand marketing resources Vietnam, Asia will need to shift and do so rapidly. These resources include time, money, skills and content. Today’s digital campaigns are commonly social media pages and updates, banners or brand owned micro sites.  A large part of the traffic is driven to brand owned assets from social media.   Getting attention will require far more resource intensive videos on mobile in order to engage Vietnam’s consumers.
  • Digital brand marketing budgets Vietnam, Asia will have to brace themselves for the winners of the real estate battle for chatting and video streaming native applications. Social media promotion in Vietnam remains inexpensive.  New dominant players in chatting and video mobile applications will be the omnipresent media channels to directly communicate with consumers. Soon the winners will be start to monetise and generate significant revenue from brands to access these consumers.

Chris Elkin - Founder

I have partnered with Cimigo over the past 15 years. Most recently Cimigo engaged us to collaborate on an unusually tough new product development project, which was akin to selling ice to Eskimos. Cimigo bought alive the consumer, her shopping journey, her cooking rituals and potential brand promises. Cimigo inspired our creative team to build alternate brand propositions and accompanying package designs. Cimigo then went back to consumers to evaluate, iterate and optimise these in focus groups. The Doodle team were able to observe this process and subtly adjust the expression of the brand between focus groups. The result of this great collaboration was a winning brand proposition and packaging design that hit consumer needs head on whilst appealing to their hearts.

Rick Reid - Creative Director

As a creative director I have used the services of Cimigo for the past 15 years when developing communications, so I know their style, innovations and resources well. Most recently we tested copy for print, out of home and digital communications to put an Australian colloquialism into a Vietnamese context. A job and budget so small I felt it was highly likely to fall through the cracks. I was astounded at their incredible response. From their advice and style of how we should present the stimulus material, to their cross-reference manoeuvres used in the testing. Their over-delivering response, was to an embarrassing level. We walked away with a clear winner and could present back to our client with confidence and clarity. Cimigo made us look great. Plus they even threw in a few extra insights on the awareness and perception of the product in Vietnam.

Cimigo designed a customer experience programme for Coats that reached into Vietnamese, Chinese and Korean customers across various levels of seniority. Cimigo instilled the importance of the voice of the customer within our executive committee. This led to fundamental changes in our structure, services and speed to market. Significant investments were made behind these improvement programmes, for example in reducing delivery times and in managing specialised custom orders, which in turn have led to improved revenue streams and higher margin sales.

The Cimigo team agreed pro-bono to help without hesitation. The research findings are truly helpful in providing us a deeper understanding of our targeted audiences, what they need and are concerned about in life. The results show us how we can help them to achieve their goals and dreams. It is no longer a shot in the dark!

Cimigo is not the type of agency that "fill in the template", but it's customized as per the needs and expectations of Client. Cimigo makes research interesting by applying new approaches to address the business issue, for example, it's known by default that product test is CLT, but at Cimigo, we did group debate for deeper understandings and insights and that resulted as a winning product which is selling well in the market. Last but not least, Cimigo makes me understand that research is a journey, not just a project."
