# Vietnam AI in Digital Advertising Market --- ## Market Overview # CHAPTER 1 - Market Overview The Vietnam AI in Digital Advertising Market converts advertiser budgets into measurable customer acquisition through algorithmic bidding, audience modeling, recommendation engines, creative automation, and campaign attribution. Vietnam's consumer e-commerce market reached approximately USD 25 billion in 2024, creating a transaction-rich demand base where retailers, marketplaces, financial platforms, and consumer brands can connect advertising exposure directly with purchases and repeat engagement. Ho Chi Minh City is the dominant commercial hub because it concentrates national advertisers, digital agencies, e-commerce headquarters, venture-backed platforms, and multinational marketing teams. Hanoi provides a second center for telecommunications, technology, government-facing communications, and domestic media groups. Together, the two cities account for an estimated 76% of AI-enabled advertising revenue in 2025, supporting deeper data, talent, and agency ecosystems. Vietnam's regulatory framework became materially more demanding through Decree 13/2023 on personal data protection, Decree 147/2024 on internet services, and Law 75/2025/QH15 amending the Advertising Law. The amended law became effective on January 1, 2026, while Decree 342/2025 introduced additional online advertising obligations from February 15, 2026, increasing compliance costs for targeting, content approval, influencer activity, and cross-border platforms. The market is transitioning from manually managed digital campaigns toward platform-native AI, managed agency stacks, and enterprise marketing clouds. By 2025, 73% of surveyed Vietnamese companies had integrated AI into operations, although only 13.8% reported scaled or fully deployed adoption. This gap creates a commercially important implementation market for agencies, AdTech providers, data specialists, and measurement partners that can operationalize AI safely. ## KPIs at a Glance * Market Value: USD 1,300 million (2025) * Dominant Region: Ho Chi Minh City * Dominant Segment: AI-Powered Social and Video Advertising (fastest growing) * Total Number of Players: 495 ## Future Outlook The Vietnam AI in Digital Advertising Market is projected to expand from USD 1,300 Mn in 2025 to USD 3,835 Mn by 2031. The market recorded an 18.2% historical CAGR during 2020-2025 as social commerce, digital video, programmatic buying, and algorithmic campaign optimization moved into mainstream advertising workflows. Forecast growth is expected to accelerate to a 19.8% CAGR during 2026-2031 as advertisers integrate first-party customer data, generative creative systems, automated bidding, and real-time attribution. Growth will remain concentrated in measurable performance advertising, where platforms and agencies can link campaign spending with transactions, qualified leads, and recurring customer value. AI-optimized advertising is estimated to represent 70% of Vietnam's digital advertising expenditure in 2025 and could reach 90% by 2031 as manual campaign structures are progressively replaced by automated products. The active AI advertiser base is forecast to increase from approximately 92,000 accounts in 2025 to 234,000 in 2031. Social and video platforms will retain the largest revenue pool, while creative generation, commerce media, and privacy-aligned audience intelligence deliver faster incremental growth. Market entry success will depend on Vietnamese-language model quality, platform integrations, regulatory controls, measurement transparency, and the ability to serve smaller advertisers through standardized managed-service packages. --- | | | | --- | --- | | **19.8%** Forecast CAGR | **$3,835 Mn** 2031 Projection | --- | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Base Year **2025** | Historical Period **2020-2025** | Forecast Period **2026-2031** | Historical CAGR **18.2%** | --- ## Scope of the Report # CHAPTER 2 -

| - | - | | 2021 | 19.0% | 21.4% | -2.0% | | 2022 | 19.1% | 21.6% | -2.0% | | 2023 | 18.8% | 23.4% | -3.7% | | 2024 | 18.1% | 22.3% | -3.4% | | 2025 | 16.1% | 20.7% | -3.9% | | 2026F | 19.2% | 20.0% | -0.6% | | 2027F | 20.0% | 19.7% | 0.3% | | 2028F | 20.4% | 19.3% | 1.0% | | 2029F | 20.3% | 18.4% | 1.6% | | 2030F | 19.9% | 17.8% | 1.7% | ### Historical Market Performance (2020-2025) Historical performance was supported by a rapid increase in campaign volume, which expanded from an estimated 145,000 AI-managed campaigns in 2020 to 390,000 in 2025. The strongest volume inflection occurred in 2023, when campaign activity increased 23.4% as short-video inventory, automated bidding, and marketplace advertising became more accessible. Average revenue per campaign declined during the historical period as self-service tools lowered entry costs and smaller merchants adopted AI products. Revenue remained concentrated in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, while e-commerce, retail, consumer goods, and financial services generated the highest measurable demand. ### Forecast Market Outlook (2026-2031) Forecast expansion will be driven by rising advertiser participation, richer video formats, generative creative production, and increased spending per mature account. Active AI advertiser accounts are projected to rise from 109,000 in 2026 to 234,000 in 2031. Value growth is expected to exceed campaign-volume growth from 2027 as larger advertisers deploy enterprise data environments, attribution systems, and automated cross-channel orchestration. AI-optimized spending could represent 90% of digital advertising expenditure by 2031. Growth moderates to 18.7% in the terminal year as platform-native AI becomes standard and the market shifts from initial adoption toward productivity, governance, and measurable return optimization. --- ## Market Breakdown # CHAPTER 4 - Market Breakdown The market breakdown tracks value expansion alongside advertiser adoption, AI penetration, and annual account economics.

AI-Powered Social and Video Advertising leads this dimension due to high mobile engagement, short-video consumption, creator-led commerce, and platform automation that combines audience selection, bidding, placement, and creative variation within one workflow. **Application** - Application is the fastest-growing dimension as advertisers move beyond automated bidding into creative production, attribution, incrementality, and brand-safety workflows. Creative Generation and Localization is expanding most rapidly because Vietnamese-language copy, image adaptation, product-video creation, and high-frequency testing lower production costs while enabling brands and merchants to deploy more campaign variants across platforms, audiences, locations, and purchase occasions. --- ## Regional Analysis # Regional Analysis Vietnam ranked third among the selected Southeast Asian peer markets by modeled AI-enabled digital advertising revenue in 2025, behind Indonesia and Singapore. Its position reflects a large internet audience, expanding commerce activity, rapidly improving mobile infrastructure, and enterprise demand for automated advertising execution.

Platforms, agencies, and analytics providers capture value through performance fees, media commissions, and data services. * Vietnam's e-commerce sector recorded approximately **18% GMV growth (2024, Vietnam)**, encouraging brands to allocate budgets toward product ads, dynamic retargeting, and automated catalog campaigns. Providers with direct marketplace and merchant integrations gain stronger attribution and renewal economics. * Online sellers reported **77% AI familiarity (2025, Vietnam)**, reducing education barriers for AI-assisted advertising products. Agencies can monetize onboarding, campaign management, product-feed optimization, and creative testing for merchants without internal data-science or media-buying teams. ### Enterprise AI Adoption and Automation **73% of surveyed companies adopted AI (2025, Vietnam)**, expanding organizational readiness for predictive targeting, creative automation, attribution, and marketing workflow integration. * Marketing represented **60.5% of reported enterprise AI use cases (2025, Vietnam)**, indicating that customer acquisition and personalization are early commercialization priorities. AdTech vendors benefit when experimental tools become budgeted campaign infrastructure with recurring licenses and service contracts. * Only **13.8% of companies reached scaled or fully deployed AI adoption (2025, Vietnam)**, leaving a substantial implementation gap. Agencies, systems integrators, and marketing-cloud providers can capture value through data preparation, workflow design, governance, training, and managed optimization. * Consumer research found **78% of online users engaged with an AI platform (2025, Vietnam)**, improving acceptance of AI-mediated discovery and recommendations. Advertisers can use conversational interfaces and personalized content while maintaining clear disclosure and human quality controls. ### Mobile Connectivity and Video Capacity Vietnam achieved more than **90% 5G population coverage (2025, Vietnam)**, improving delivery conditions for video, interactive commerce, and real-time campaign optimization. * Viettel deployed approximately **30,000 5G base stations (2025, Vietnam)**, strengthening low-latency mobile inventory and high-quality video delivery. Social platforms, streaming publishers, and advertisers gain from richer formats, faster landing experiences, and more reliable conversion signals. * Vietnam's 4G network covered **99.8% of the population (2025, Vietnam)**, providing a nationwide baseline for automated mobile advertising even where 5G adoption remains incomplete. Provincial merchants can access self-service media products without waiting for uniform high-end infrastructure. * Vietnam targeted **100 million internet users by 2029 (Vietnam)**, expanding future reach beyond the largest cities. Providers that standardize Vietnamese-language creative and low-budget campaign packages can monetize provincial and small-business demand at lower acquisition cost. --- ## Market Challenges ### Privacy, Consent and Data Governance Decree 13/2023 introduced nationwide personal-data obligations, increasing compliance requirements for AI systems using identifiers, behavioral data, location signals, and customer lists. * Decree 13 became effective on **July 1, 2023 (Vietnam)**, requiring clearer processing purposes, consent controls, impact assessments, and governance procedures. Advertisers face higher implementation costs when consolidating first-party data or transmitting audience information across technology vendors. * Decree 147 took effect on **December 25, 2024 (Vietnam)**, extending reporting, authentication, content-control, and platform obligations. Compliance failures can disrupt campaign access, reduce usable audience data, or create service-blocking risk for cross-border providers. * Only **5.4% of surveyed enterprises fully trusted AI outputs without substantial review (2025, Vietnam)**. Low trust raises operating costs because campaign claims, creative content, audience rules, and automated recommendations require human validation before deployment. ### Platform Concentration and Measurement Opacity Vietnam's cross-border digital ecosystem included **176 registered foreign suppliers by September 2025**, but advertising value remains concentrated across a limited number of large platforms. * Foreign suppliers paid approximately **USD 328 million in taxes during the first nine months of 2025 (Vietnam)**. The scale of cross-border collections illustrates platform influence, while domestic agencies remain dependent on platform APIs, auction rules, and reporting frameworks they do not control. * Admicro's network historically reached more than **50 million Vietnamese users** across over 200 publisher sites, demonstrating the importance of domestic media aggregation. Local networks must continue investing in identity, contextual intelligence, and independent measurement to compete with global closed ecosystems. * Vietnam's amended Advertising Law became effective on **January 1, 2026**, expanding responsibilities for online publishers, platforms, and advertisement conveyors. Additional verification and reporting obligations may increase campaign lead times and reduce margins for agencies serving regulated categories. ### Talent, Localization and Model Governance Scaled AI deployment remained limited to **13.8% of surveyed companies (2025, Vietnam)**, reflecting shortages in integration, governance, measurement, and specialized marketing capabilities. * Vietnam had approximately **80,000 digital technology enterprises by 2025**, yet advanced advertising talent competes with software, fintech, cloud, and cybersecurity employers. Wage pressure can weaken agency margins and delay implementation for smaller advertisers. * Vietnamese technology enterprises employed more than **1.9 million people in 2025**, but AI advertising requires a narrower combination of media trading, data engineering, statistics, creative production, and compliance expertise. Providers must invest in multidisciplinary teams rather than isolated tool training. * Vietnam recognizes **54 ethnic groups**, while language, regional usage, and cultural context affect creative quality. Models trained primarily on English or global datasets require local review to avoid inaccurate claims, weak tone, or inappropriate targeting. --- ## Market Opportunities ### Retail Media and Social Commerce Optimization Vietnam's **USD 25 billion e-commerce scale (2024, Vietnam)** supports retail-media products that monetize search, product discovery, livestreaming, and closed-loop transaction data. * Monetizable angle: Platforms can charge sponsored-listing fees, cost-per-click prices, managed campaign fees, and data-service subscriptions against a commerce pool growing at approximately **18% annually in 2024**. Closed-loop measurement can support premium pricing over less attributable inventory. * Who benefits: Marketplaces, social-commerce platforms, retail chains, agencies, and consumer brands benefit as **77% of online sellers reported AI familiarity in 2025**. Smaller merchants gain access to automated product feeds, bidding, and creative templates. * What must change: Retailers need standardized product data, consented customer records, conversion APIs, and incrementality testing. Only **13.8% of surveyed companies had scaled AI deployment in 2025**, indicating that data architecture remains the principal commercialization bottleneck. ### Vietnamese-Language Generative Creative **78% of online users engaged with AI platforms (2025, Vietnam)**, supporting demand for conversational, localized, and rapidly produced advertising experiences. * Monetizable angle: Providers can sell creative subscriptions, per-asset generation, localization services, and campaign-testing packages. A projected **234,000 active AI advertiser accounts by 2031** creates recurring demand for copy, images, product videos, and audience-specific variants. * Who benefits: Agencies, production studios, local model developers, publishers, and consumer brands benefit by reducing turnaround time and expanding test volume. Daily AI usage reached **33% of surveyed online users in 2025**, supporting familiarity with AI-generated interactions. * What must change: Vietnamese-language datasets, claim verification, brand controls, rights management, and human approval must improve. Only **5.4% of surveyed enterprises fully trusted AI output% of surveyed enterprises fully trusted AI output in 2025**, making governance essential for regulated and reputation-sensitive campaigns. ### Managed AI Advertising for Smaller Enterprises Vietnam's projected **100 million internet users by 2029** create a scalable provincial and SME market for standardized, outcome-based AI advertising services. * Monetizable angle: Agencies can package media buying, creative generation, lead management, and reporting into fixed retainers or performance fees. Active AI advertiser accounts are modeled to increase from **92,000 in 2025 to 234,000 in 2031**, expanding recurring-service potential. * Who benefits: Provincial merchants, education providers, clinics, property brokers, travel operators, and local service firms gain access to automation without building internal teams. Nationwide 4G coverage reached **99.8% of the population in 2025**. * What must change: Providers need lower minimum budgets, simplified Vietnamese dashboards, integrated lead handling, transparent billing, and category-specific templates. Vietnam's **80,000 digital technology enterprises in 2025** provide a broad partner base for regional implementation and support. --- --- ## Competitive Landscape # CHAPTER 8 - Competitive Landscape Overview The market combines concentrated global platform inventory with fragmented domestic agency, publisher, and AdTech capabilities.

Advertiser participation will also broaden, with active AI-enabled accounts projected to more than double. Growth gradually moderates in 2031 as automated advertising becomes a standard operating capability, shifting purchasing criteria from initial adoption toward measurable productivity, governance, attribution quality, and sustainable return on advertising expenditure. **Data used:** 19.8% forecast CAGR during 2026-2031; USD 3,835 Mn projected value in 2031 **So what:** Market entrants need scalable implementation and measurable performance advantages rather than relying only on access to generic AI tools. #### Q: Where will the market's profit pools shift during the forecast period? **A:** Profit pools will increasingly move from manual campaign administration toward proprietary data, commerce media, generative creative workflows, attribution, and managed AI operations. Platform-native AI will continue capturing substantial media economics, but agencies and independent providers can defend margins by integrating customer data, local creative, compliance controls, and cross-platform measurement. Performance-based fees and enterprise subscriptions should gain relevance where providers can prove incremental conversions or revenue. Lower-value manual trafficking and repetitive creative adaptation will face pricing pressure as automation becomes embedded within major advertising platforms. **Data used:** AI-optimized spending share of 70% in 2025; projected 90% share in 2031 **So what:** Providers should prioritize capabilities tied to proprietary data, measurable outcomes, governance, and recurring workflow integration. #### Q: What is the most important constraint on market growth? **A:** The most important constraint is the combined burden of data governance, platform dependence, and limited scaled implementation capability. Decree 13/2023, Decree 147/2024, Law 75/2025/QH15, and Decree 342/2025 increase obligations around personal data, online content, cross-border services, advertising transparency, and user experience. At the same time, only 13.8% of surveyed companies had reached scaled or fully deployed AI adoption in 2025. Advertisers therefore face integration costs, talent shortages, uncertain attribution, and greater need for human review of model outputs. **Data used:** 13.8% scaled enterprise AI adoption in 2025; amended Advertising Law effective January 1, 2026 **So what:** Compliance-by-design and implementation support will be material differentiators in enterprise procurement and customer retention. #### Q: How does Vietnam compare with other Southeast Asian markets? **A:** Vietnam ranked third among the six selected Southeast Asian peers by modeled 2025 market value, behind Indonesia and Singapore and ahead of Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Vietnam combines a large internet audience with faster growth than more mature Singapore and Malaysia. Its 19.8% forecast CAGR reflects expanding commerce activity, improving connectivity, strong consumer familiarity with AI, and a substantial base of domestic technology and media companies. Indonesia remains larger because of its population and commerce scale, while Singapore has higher advertiser spending intensity and enterprise technology maturity. **Data used:** 3rd regional peer ranking in 2025; 19.8% Vietnam CAGR during 2026-2031 **So what:** Regional investors can position Vietnam as a scale-growth market between high-intensity Singapore and larger but more fragmented Indonesia. #### Q: Which demand driver will have the greatest commercial impact? **A:** Commerce-led performance advertising will have the greatest near-term commercial impact because it links media exposure with product searches, transactions, repeat purchases, and merchant economics. Vietnam's e-commerce market reached approximately USD 25 billion in 2024, creating large volumes of product, audience, and conversion data. AI can automate catalog advertising, bidding, recommendations, creative adaptation, and budget allocation across marketplaces, social platforms, search engines, and retailer properties. This makes e-commerce and retail the most attractive end-use pool for platforms, agencies, attribution vendors, and retail-media technology providers. **Data used:** USD 25 billion e-commerce market in 2024; 77% online-seller AI familiarity in 2025 **So what:** Providers should prioritize commerce integrations and closed-loop measurement before pursuing less attributable brand-only use cases. --- ## Table of Contents # CHAPTER 14 - Table Of Contents ### Market Report Structure Comprehensive coverage across three strategic phases — Market Assessment, Go-To-Market Strategy, and Survey — delivering end-to-end insights from market analysis and execution roadmap to customer demand validation. ## Market Assessment Phase Supply-side and competitive intelligence covering market sizing, segmentation, competitive dynamics, regulatory landscape, and future forecasts. ### 1.
