# Vietnam E-Commerce Market Size, Share & Forecast, By Business Model, Product Category & Payment Method, 2026-2031 --- ## Market Overview # CHAPTER 1 - Market Overview The Vietnam E-Commerce Market operates through marketplaces, social-commerce interfaces, direct brand websites and omnichannel retailers that connect merchants with mobile-first buyers. Vietnam had approximately 85.6 million internet users by late 2025, representing 84.2% penetration. This addressable digital population supports frequent product discovery, price comparison and app-based purchasing, making customer acquisition economics and repeat-order performance central to platform strategy. Commercial activity remains concentrated in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, where higher household income, merchant density, fulfilment capacity and digital-payment usage reinforce network effects. Vietnam processed approximately 2.4 billion e-commerce-related postal parcels in 2024, up 30% year-on-year. The two metropolitan hubs therefore influence delivery-time benchmarks, warehouse placement, advertising demand and seller-service economics across the national market. Regulatory economics changed materially in 2025. Decree 117/2025/ND-CP requires qualifying domestic and foreign platforms with payment functionality to withhold, declare and remit value-added tax and personal income tax for household and individual sellers from July 2025. This raises compliance-system requirements while improving transaction traceability, seller formalization and competitive neutrality between online and store-based retail channels. The market is transitioning from subsidy-led expansion toward monetization, verified sellers and compliant cross-border trade. Vietnam recorded approximately USD 2.4 billion of online goods imports and USD 1.7 billion of online goods exports in 2024. The resulting import imbalance increases pressure on domestic merchants to improve product differentiation, fulfilment reliability and export readiness while encouraging regulators to strengthen customs and consumer-protection controls. ## KPIs at a Glance * Market Value: USD 27.73 billion (2025) * Dominant Region: Ho Chi Minh City and Southeast Vietnam * Dominant Segment: Marketplace Commerce (Social Commerce fastest growing) * Total Number of Players: 500,000+ ## Future Outlook The Vietnam E-Commerce Market is projected to increase from USD 27.73 billion in 2025 to USD 87.36 billion by 2031, reflecting a forecast CAGR of 21.08%. The forecast assumes continued growth in active online buyers, higher order frequency, stronger social-commerce conversion and gradual expansion of average order values. It also incorporates the national objective for e-commerce retail sales to grow by 20-30% annually and approach 20% of total retail goods sales by 2030. Video commerce, platform advertising, embedded financial services and automated fulfilment will become increasingly important sources of seller productivity and platform monetization. Historical growth averaged 18.65% during 2020-2025, although annual performance varied because of pandemic-related demand shifts, consumer-income pressure and changes in marketplace promotional intensity. Growth is expected to become broader geographically during 2026-2031 as logistics investment reaches provincial cities and seller participation expands beyond Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The forecast also assumes cashless payment penetration rises toward the government target of 80% of transactions by 2030. Regulatory compliance, counterfeit control, product traceability and environmental management will increase operating costs, favoring platforms and merchants with scalable data, fulfilment and governance capabilities. --- | | | | --- | --- | | **21.08%** Forecast CAGR | **$87,360 Mn** 2031 Projection | --- | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Base Year **2025** | Historical Period **2020-2025** | Forecast Period **2026-2031** | Historical CAGR **18.65%** | --- ## Scope of the Report # CHAPTER 2 - Scope of the Market * **Geographic Coverage:** Vietnam * **Historical Period:** 2020-2025 * **Base Year:** 2025 * **Forecast Period:** 2026-2031 * **Market Segments Covered:** 7 primary segmentation dimensions (Business Model, Product Category, Customer Type, Purchase Occasion, Distribution Channel, Payment Method, Geography) * **Companies Covered:** Top 10 key players profiled * **Currency & Units:** USD, values expressed in USD Mn/Bn ### Segmentation Data Tree * Business Model + Online Marketplaces - Multi-category marketplaces - Vertical marketplaces + Social Commerce - Livestream commerce - Short-video commerce + Direct-to-Consumer Commerce - Brand-owned websites - Brand-owned applications + Omnichannel Retail - Store-led online retail - Click-and-collect retail * Product Category + Beauty & Personal Care - Skincare and cosmetics - Personal hygiene products + Home & Living - Homeware and furnishings - Household appliances + Fashion & Accessories - Apparel and footwear - Bags and accessories + Electronics & Digital Devices - Consumer electronics - Mobile devices and accessories * Customer Type + Gen Z Digital Buyers - Students and first-job consumers - Creator-influenced buyers + Millennial Households - Young families - Dual-income households + Value-Seeking Families - Promotion-led shoppers - Bulk-purchase households + Affluent Digital Consumers - Premium product buyers - Imported brand buyers * Purchase Occasion + Routine Replenishment - Household essentials - Personal-care replenishment + Campaign-Led Shopping - Double-date campaigns - Payday promotions + Festival & Gifting - Tet gifting - Family celebration purchases + Discovery-Led Purchase - Livestream discovery - Creator recommendation purchases * Distribution Channel + Marketplace Applications - Mobile applications - Mobile web interfaces + Social Media Platforms - Integrated shopping feeds - Livestream storefronts + Brand-Owned Digital Stores - Brand websites - Brand mobile applications + Retailer Omnichannel Platforms - Home delivery portals - Store pickup portals * Payment Method + Cash on Delivery - Cash settlement - Card-on-delivery settlement + Bank Transfer & VietQR - Instant bank transfer - Interoperable QR payment + E-Wallets - Domestic mobile wallets - Platform-linked wallets + Cards & Buy Now Pay Later - Debit and credit cards - Installment payment products * Geography + Ho Chi Minh City & Southeast - Ho Chi Minh City - Dong Nai and Binh Duong + Hanoi & Red River Delta - Hanoi - Hai Phong and surrounding provinces + Central Vietnam - Da Nang - Central coastal provinces + Mekong Delta & Other Provinces - Can Tho and Mekong Delta - Emerging provincial markets --- ## Market Trajectory # Vietnam E-Commerce Market Size, Share & Forecast, By Business Model, Product Category & Payment Method, 2026-2031 **Geography:** Vietnam | **Historical Period:** 2020-2025 | **Forecast Period:** 2026-2031 The Vietnam E-Commerce Market generated an estimated USD 27.73 billion in business-to-consumer retail gross merchandise value during 2025.

The weakest annual increase occurred in 2023, when growth slowed to 5.49% as consumer purchasing power, promotional intensity and seller economics normalized. An inflection followed in 2024, with value rising 30.06% and e-commerce parcel activity reaching approximately 2.4 billion shipments. Market concentration strengthened as Shopee and TikTok Shop captured most tracked marketplace transactions, while social video became a primary product-discovery mechanism for younger buyers. ### Forecast Market Outlook, 2026-2031 Market value is forecast to reach USD 87.36 billion by 2031, adding USD 59.63 billion from the 2025 base. Value growth is expected to exceed volume growth as average order value increases from approximately USD 10.05 in 2025 to USD 13.54 in 2031. This mix improvement reflects premium-category penetration, bundled orders, advertising-led discovery and stronger omnichannel participation. Provincial logistics coverage, merchant formalization and cashless payments will expand addressable demand, although compliance costs will favor scaled platforms and organized sellers. ## V02 Market Size Calculator, Scope and Revenue Mapping | Scope Parameter | Locked Definition | | --- | --- | | In-Scope Transactions | Consumer purchases of physical retail goods ordered through marketplaces, social-commerce platforms, merchant websites and omnichannel retailers | | Excluded Transactions | Online travel, food delivery, ride-hailing, digital media, financial services, B2B wholesale and offline-only retail | | Market Value | Gross merchandise value paid by Vietnam-based consumers before returns and indirect taxes | | Market Volume | Completed and fulfilled online retail orders | | Revenue-Generating Entities | Marketplace operators, social-commerce platforms, direct-to-consumer merchants and omnichannel retailers | | Currency | USD | ### Supply-Side Company Universe | Segment | Definition | Estimated Entity Count | Average In-Scope GMV | Segment GMV | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Large | Leading marketplaces and national omnichannel retailers | 10 | USD 1.69 Bn | USD 16.90 Bn | | Medium | Vertical platforms, major digital-native brands and regional retailers | 180 | USD 25.0 Mn | USD 4.50 Bn | | Small and Long-Tail | Independent webstores, social sellers and marketplace merchants | 500,000+ | USD 12,000 | USD 6.00 Bn | | **Total** | Supply-side build-up | **500,190+** | - | **USD 27.40 Bn** | ### Named Company Sanity Check | Company | Segment | Estimated 2025 In-Scope GMV | Estimation Basis | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Shopee Vietnam | Large | USD 9.63 Bn | 2025 tracked-platform GMV share applied to major-platform transaction pool | | TikTok Shop Vietnam | Large | USD 7.10 Bn | 2025 tracked-platform GMV share applied to major-platform transaction pool | | Lazada Vietnam | Large | USD 0.41 Bn | Residual tracked-platform GMV allocation | | Tiki | Large | USD 0.05 Bn | Residual tracked-platform GMV allocation | | Sendo | Medium | USD 0.15 Bn | Marketplace traffic, merchant base and transaction proxy | | Mobile World | Large | - | Online revenue not separately reconciled to report scope | | FPT Retail | Large | - | Online revenue not separately reconciled to report scope | ### Operational Parameter Sizing | Parameter | 2025 Value | Calculation Role | Confidence | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Fulfilled Online Orders | 2.76 Bn | Volume anchor based on postal e-commerce parcels and non-postal fulfilment adjustment | Medium | | Average Order Value | USD 10.05 | Blended category and channel ASP | Medium | | Operational Market Value | USD 27.74 Bn | 2.76 billion orders multiplied by USD 10.05 | Medium | ### Demand-Side Cross-Check | Demand Variable | 2025 Value | Calculation Role | Confidence | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Active Online Buyers | 60.9 Mn | Addressable purchasing population after internet-user, adult and shopper-frequency adjustments | Medium | | Annual Spend per Active Buyer | USD 460 | Average annual retail e-commerce expenditure | Medium | | Demand-Side Market Value | USD 28.01 Bn | Buyer base multiplied by annual spend | Medium | ### Method Reconciliation | Method | 2025 Estimate | Confidence | Weight | Weighted Contribution | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Supply-Side Company Universe | USD 27.40 Bn | Medium-High | 50% | USD 13.70 Bn | | Operational Parameters | USD 27.74 Bn | Medium | 30% | USD 8.32 Bn | | Demand-Side Cross-Check | USD 28.01 Bn | Medium | 20% | USD 5.60 Bn | | **Weighted Estimate** | **USD 27.62 Bn** | - | **100%** | **USD 27.62 Bn** | | **Final Rounded and Calibrated Estimate** | **USD 27.73 Bn** | **Medium-High** | - | Calibrated to institutional and industry brackets | ### Confidence Interval | Scenario | 2025 Value | Rationale | | --- | --- | --- | | Bear | USD 25.70 Bn | Lower social-commerce capture, conservative buyer frequency and higher return adjustment | | Base | USD 27.73 Bn | Weighted triangulation and operating-data calibration | | Bull | USD 30.20 Bn | Higher informal seller participation, direct-to-consumer sales and premium-category basket value | --- ## Market Breakdown # CHAPTER 4 - Market Breakdown The Vietnam E-Commerce Market is moving from order-volume expansion toward a more monetized structure shaped by larger baskets, digital payments and repeat purchasing.

Multi-category marketplaces capture the largest revenue pool, but profitability increasingly depends on advertising, commissions and logistics monetization rather than transaction subsidies. Social commerce is narrowing the competitive gap by integrating content discovery with immediate purchase conversion. **Purchase Occasion** - Discovery-led purchasing is the fastest-growing demand pattern as livestreams, short videos, creator recommendations and limited-duration promotions compress the journey between awareness and checkout. The fastest-growing Level-2 sub-segment is Discovery-Led Purchase. Its expansion shifts merchant spending toward content production, affiliate commissions and performance marketing while requiring platforms to strengthen seller verification, product moderation and conversion analytics. --- ## Regional Analysis # Regional Analysis Vietnam ranked third among selected Southeast Asian peer markets by estimated 2025 B2C retail e-commerce value, behind Indonesia and Thailand. Its position reflects a large connected population, strong marketplace participation, rapid social-commerce adoption and improving delivery infrastructure, although regional operating quality remains below Singapore and Malaysia. ### KPI Summary * Focus Country Ranking: **3rd** * Focus Country Market Size: **USD 27.73 Bn** * Vietnam CAGR (2026-2031): **21.08%** | Country | Market Size, 2025 | CAGR, 2026-2031 (%) | Internet Users, 2025 (Mn) | Logistics Performance Index Score, 2023 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Vietnam | USD 27.73 Bn | 21.08% | 85.6 | 3.3 | | Indonesia | USD 66.00 Bn | 15.50% | 212.0 | 3.0 | | Thailand | USD 31.00 Bn | 18.50% | 65.4 | 3.5 | | Philippines | USD 22.00 Bn | 18.00% | 97.5 | 3.3 | | Malaysia | USD 18.00 Bn | 14.00% | 35.0 | 3.6 | | Singapore | USD 7.00 Bn | 8.50% | 5.8 | 4.3 | ### Market Position Vietnam's estimated USD 27.73 billion market places it third among the selected peers, supported by 85.6 million internet users and transaction concentration in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. ### Growth Advantage Vietnam's 21.08% forecast CAGR exceeds Thailand's estimated 18.50% and Indonesia's 15.50%, positioning the country as a regional growth leader as video commerce and provincial fulfilment scale. ### Competitive Strengths Vietnam combines 84.2% internet penetration, approximately 2.4 billion e-commerce parcels in 2024 and a policy target for 20% online retail penetration by 2030. Comprehensive analysis of key factors shaping the market, including growth catalysts, operational challenges, and emerging opportunities across production, distribution, and consumer segments. --- ## Growth Drivers ### Growth Drivers, Challenges & Opportunities Comprehensive analysis of key factors shaping the Vietnam E-Commerce Market, including growth catalysts, operational challenges, and emerging opportunities across platform operations, fulfilment, payments and consumer segments. ## Growth Drivers ### Large Connected Consumer Base Vietnam's **85.6 million internet users (2025, Vietnam)** create a nationally scalable audience for mobile commerce and digital product discovery. * Internet penetration reached **84.2% (2025, Vietnam)**, reducing customer-acquisition constraints for marketplaces, brands and omnichannel retailers serving digitally mature households. * Vietnam recorded **79.0 million social-media identities (2025, Vietnam)**, expanding the audience available for affiliate marketing, creator-led discovery and livestream selling. * Total retail sales reached approximately **USD 263 billion (2024, Vietnam)**, providing a large expenditure base from which online channels can continue capturing share. ### Video and Social-Commerce Conversion Video commerce represented **25% of regional e-commerce GMV (2025, Southeast Asia)**, accelerating the shift from search-led to content-led purchasing. * TikTok Shop reached approximately **41.31% of tracked platform GMV (2025, Vietnam)**, demonstrating strong buyer response to entertainment-integrated commerce. * Major platforms generated **USD 11.62 billion during the first nine months (2025, Vietnam)**, with content commerce contributing disproportionate incremental sales. * Content-based conversion enables merchants to combine awareness, demonstration and purchase within one session, shifting value toward creators, affiliates and data-driven sellers. ### Policy-Supported Digital Retail Expansion The national plan targets **20-30% annual online retail growth (2026-2030, Vietnam)**, supporting infrastructure, merchant adoption and consumer trust initiatives. * The plan targets **70% of adults shopping online (2030, Vietnam)**, expanding the formal addressable buyer base across provincial and lower-income markets. * Approximately **60% of SMEs are targeted for platform participation (2030, Vietnam)**, increasing assortment, local-product digitization and merchant-service demand. * The target for **80% cashless payment participation (2030, Vietnam)** can reduce failed deliveries, cash handling and settlement friction across the value chain. --- ## Market Challenges ### Rising Seller and Platform Economics Leading marketplaces applied average seller fees of approximately **6.5-15% (2025, Vietnam)**, increasing pressure on merchant contribution margins and pricing. * Higher commissions, advertising costs and fulfilment charges require merchants to improve gross margin, repeat purchase and inventory turns rather than rely on subsidized traffic. * Major platform concentration reached approximately **97.35% for Shopee and TikTok Shop combined (2025, tracked Vietnam platforms)**, limiting seller negotiating leverage. * Platform operators face escalating expenditure on discounts, delivery speed, content moderation and artificial intelligence, making monetization discipline essential for long-term returns. ### Compliance and Seller Formalization Costs Decree 117 introduced transaction-level withholding from **July 1, 2025 (Vietnam)**, requiring platforms to upgrade seller identification, tax and settlement systems. * Domestic and foreign payment-enabled platforms must withhold applicable VAT and personal income tax for individual sellers, increasing data integration and reconciliation requirements. * Online businesses paid approximately **USD 2.84 billion in taxes during the first five months (2025, Vietnam)**, up 55% year-on-year as enforcement expanded. * Smaller sellers lacking standardized invoices, product records and tax data face higher onboarding friction, potentially accelerating consolidation into managed merchant programs. ### Trust, Counterfeit and Cross-Border Control Vietnam recorded approximately **USD 2.4 billion of online goods imports (2024, Vietnam)**, increasing product-verification, customs and domestic-industry concerns. * Temu and Shein operations were suspended during registration enforcement in **December 2024 (Vietnam)**, showing that market access depends on formal compliance. * Counterfeit exposure raises return rates, customer-service costs and reputational risk, encouraging investment in seller verification, product traceability and automated listing review. * The policy objective to reduce rights-violating websites to **5-10% by 2030 (Vietnam)** creates additional enforcement obligations for platforms and merchants. --- ## Market Opportunities ### Provincial Fulfilment and Seller Infrastructure E-commerce logistics handled approximately **2.4 billion parcels (2024, Vietnam)**, creating demand for distributed fulfilment, sorting automation and merchant logistics services. * Investors can monetize regional fulfilment centers, delivery orchestration, return management and warehouse software as order density expands outside the two largest cities. * Platforms, logistics operators and provincial sellers benefit from shorter delivery routes, improved service reliability and lower failed-delivery costs. * Opportunity realization requires interoperable address data, parcel tracking, shared fulfilment standards and sufficient provincial shipment density to support fixed infrastructure. ### Cross-Border Export Enablement Vietnam's online goods exports were approximately **USD 1.7 billion (2024, Vietnam)**, leaving significant headroom relative to manufacturing and merchandise-export capacity. * Monetizable services include export storefront management, translation, customs documentation, international fulfilment, payment settlement and marketplace advertising. * Domestic manufacturers, specialty producers, logistics firms and digital agencies benefit from direct access to overseas consumers and higher-value branded exports. * Scaling requires harmonized customs procedures, export-quality assurance, intellectual-property protection and platform training for small and medium-sized manufacturers. ### Retail Media and Merchant Monetization Retail media generated approximately **USD 3 billion regionally (2025, Southeast Asia)**, demonstrating the potential of advertising-linked e-commerce revenue pools. * Platforms can monetize sponsored listings, creator campaigns, affiliate commissions, audience analytics and closed-loop advertising measurement without relying solely on transaction commissions. * Consumer brands, merchants, creators and advertising-technology providers benefit from measurable campaigns linked directly to product discovery and completed orders. * Growth requires transparent attribution, privacy-compliant data usage, brand-safety controls and reliable incrementality measurement across content, search and marketplace placements. --- --- ##

Frequently Asked Questions # CHAPTER 12 - FAQs #### Q: What was the size of the Vietnam E-Commerce Market in 2025? **A:** The Vietnam E-Commerce Market was valued at USD 27.73 billion in 2025 under the report's B2C retail GMV scope. The estimate includes physical goods ordered through marketplaces, social-commerce platforms, brand websites and omnichannel retailers. It excludes online travel, food delivery, digital media, ride-hailing, financial services and B2B wholesale. The result reflects a weighted reconciliation of supply-side platform activity, approximately 2.76 billion fulfilled orders and demand from an estimated 60.9 million active online buyers. **Data used:** USD 27.73 billion market value in 2025; 2.76 billion online orders in 2025 **So what:** Investors should evaluate opportunities against a clearly defined retail GMV pool rather than broader digital-economy measures. #### Q: How fast will the market grow through 2031? **A:** Market value is forecast to reach USD 87.36 billion by 2031, representing a 21.08% CAGR during 2026-2031. Growth will be supported by higher purchasing frequency, wider provincial fulfilment, social-commerce conversion and expansion in average order values. The base scenario also incorporates government targets for 20-30% annual online retail growth, 70% adult online-shopping participation and 80% cashless payment participation by 2030, while recognizing higher compliance and seller-acquisition costs. **Data used:** USD 87.36 billion forecast value in 2031; 21.08% CAGR during 2026-2031 **So what:** Market entrants need scalable fulfilment and merchant economics capable of supporting growth without indefinite promotional subsidies. #### Q: Where will the market's profit pools shift? **A:** Profit pools will move from transaction subsidies toward advertising, creator commissions, fulfilment services, payment products and seller software. Leading platforms already control most tracked marketplace GMV, limiting differentiation through assortment alone. Retail media and closed-loop campaign measurement will become important because platforms can monetize audience intent without carrying inventory. Merchants will seek tools that improve conversion, pricing, inventory planning and repeat purchase as commission and advertising expenses consume a larger share of gross margin. **Data used:** 97.35% combined tracked-platform share for Shopee and TikTok Shop in 2025; seller fees of approximately 6.5-15% in early 2025 **So what:** Strategy should prioritize high-margin ecosystem services rather than relying exclusively on commission revenue. #### Q: What is the largest operating risk for platforms and sellers? **A:** The primary risk is the combined impact of rising commercial costs and stricter transaction-level compliance. Platforms must fund seller verification, tax withholding, product moderation, fraud controls and delivery incentives while maintaining buyer engagement. Sellers face higher commissions, advertising expenses and documentation requirements. Smaller merchants with weak product margins or limited operating systems may become less competitive, increasing consolidation among managed sellers, official stores and brands with stronger inventory control. **Data used:** Decree 117 effective July 1, 2025; USD 2.84 billion of online-business tax payments during the first five months of 2025 **So what:** Companies should treat compliance technology and merchant-quality control as core commercial capabilities. #### Q: How does Vietnam compare with other Southeast Asian e-commerce markets? **A:** Vietnam ranked third among the selected peer markets by estimated 2025 B2C retail e-commerce value, behind Indonesia and Thailand. Its expected 21.08% forecast CAGR is faster than the modeled rates for both countries, reflecting lower online retail penetration and stronger incremental social-commerce adoption. Vietnam also has a larger connected population than Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, although logistics quality and income per buyer remain below the region's most developed markets. **Data used:** USD 27.73 billion market value in 2025; 85.6 million internet users in late 2025 **So what:** Vietnam offers stronger growth potential than mature peers but requires localization around affordability, payments and provincial delivery. #### Q: Which demand driver will have the greatest strategic impact? **A:** Content-led commerce will have the greatest near-term impact because it changes both customer acquisition and product conversion. Short videos, livestreams and affiliate creators combine discovery, demonstration, social proof and checkout within one interface. TikTok Shop's rapid share gains show that consumer attention can be converted into transactions without traditional search-led shopping journeys. This increases merchant demand for creator management, content analytics, product seeding and real-time campaign operations. **Data used:** TikTok Shop held approximately 41.31% of tracked platform GMV in 2025; video commerce represented 25% of Southeast Asian e-commerce GMV in 2025 **So what:** Brands should integrate content production, affiliate economics and marketplace conversion into one commercial operating model. #### Q: Which market segments should new entrants prioritize? **A:** New entrants should prioritize categories with repeat purchasing, visual demonstration potential and manageable delivery economics. Beauty and personal care, household products, fashion accessories and selected consumer electronics satisfy several of these conditions. Entrants should initially focus on urban millennial and Gen Z buyers while building provincial delivery capability. A marketplace-plus-social strategy offers broader demand capture than a standalone website, but brand-owned channels remain important for customer data, loyalty and margin protection. **Data used:** 79.0 million social-media identities in 2025; 2.4 billion e-commerce-related parcels in 2024 **So what:** Entry sequencing should combine high-conversion categories with channels that support both discovery and repeat customer ownership. --- ## Table of Contents # 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.
