# Vietnam Live Commerce Market Size, Share & Forecast, By Platform Type, Product Category & Revenue Model, 2026–2031 --- ## Market Overview # CHAPTER 1 - Market Overview The Vietnam Live Commerce Market combines livestream video, creator-led demonstration, real-time chat, limited-duration offers and in-stream checkout. Demand is anchored by **79.0 million social media user identities in October 2025**, equal to 77.6% of the population, which gives platforms a large addressable audience for discovery-led conversion and repeat purchase. Commercial activity is concentrated in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi because these metros aggregate brand headquarters, creator studios, fulfillment hubs and higher-spending digital consumers. Across Vietnam, **127 million cellular mobile connections were active in early 2025**, enabling mobile-first livestream participation while urban logistics networks support same-day and next-day delivery economics. Regulation has moved from broad marketplace oversight to explicit responsibility for livestream sellers, hosts and platform operators. Vietnam's Law on E-Commerce No. 122/2025/QH15 took effect on **July 1, 2026**, introducing seller verification, clearer platform accountability and dedicated rules for livestream selling and affiliate marketing, which raises compliance costs but strengthens transaction trust. The market is transitioning from subsidy-led acquisition toward data-led operating efficiency. YouNet ECI reported **458.16 trillion VND of GMV across four major platforms in 2025**, up 26%, while average selling prices rose 33% in Q4 and unit volumes fell 8%, demonstrating that future value creation depends on conversion quality, seller productivity and authentic assortment rather than traffic alone. ## KPIs at a Glance * Market Value: USD 4,050 million (2025) * Dominant Region: Ho Chi Minh City Metropolitan Area (2025) * Dominant Segment: Integrated Marketplace Livestreaming (fastest growing) * Total Number of Players: 180 ## Future Outlook The Vietnam Live Commerce Market is projected to expand from USD 4,050 million in 2025 to USD 12,150 million by 2031, representing a forecast CAGR of 20.09%. This trajectory follows a 62.27% historical CAGR during 2020-2025, when pandemic-era digital adoption, TikTok Shop's 2022 market entry, creator monetization and integrated checkout rapidly widened the addressable funnel. Forecast growth moderates as the market matures, but remains structurally strong because live shopping still represents a minority of total online retail and continues to gain share in fashion, beauty, FMCG and lower-ticket lifestyle categories. Value growth will increasingly separate from pure audience growth. Paid live-commerce orders are projected to rise from 202.5 million in 2025 to 512.7 million in 2031, while blended order value increases from USD 20.0 to USD 23.7. Higher compliance requirements, platform fees and fulfillment standards will favor brands, official stores and professional creator networks with measurable conversion economics. The base scenario assumes no platform ban, continued 5G and broadband expansion, sustained consumer confidence, better seller verification and gradual migration from cash-on-delivery toward digital payments. Bear and bull cases primarily vary livestream conversion, repeat purchase frequency and fee pass-through. --- | | | | --- | --- | | **20.09%** Forecast CAGR | **$12,150 Mn** 2031 Projection | --- | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Base Year **2025** | Historical Period **2020-2025** | Forecast Period **2026-2031** | Historical CAGR **62.27%** | --- ## 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 (Platform Type, Product Category, Seller Type, Customer Type, Purchase Occasion, Revenue Model, Geography) * **Companies Covered:** Top 10 key players profiled * **Currency & Units:** USD, values expressed in USD Mn/Bn ### Segmentation Data Tree * Platform Type + Integrated Marketplace Livestreaming - Native in-app checkout - Marketplace fulfillment integration + Social Network Livestreaming - Direct-message ordering - External checkout links + Brand-Owned Livestreaming - Website-embedded live rooms - CRM-linked customer events + Creator Network Livestreaming - Multi-brand creator sessions - Agency-operated studio streams * Product Category + Fashion & Accessories - Apparel and footwear - Bags and fashion accessories + Beauty & Personal Care - Skincare and cosmetics - Haircare and personal wellness + FMCG - Packaged food and beverages - Household and personal essentials + Consumer Electronics - Mobile accessories - Small appliances and devices + Home & Lifestyle - Home organization - Kitchen and decor products * Seller Type + Brands & Official Stores - Local consumer brands - Multinational brand stores + Marketplace SMEs - Registered small merchants - Digitized household businesses + Creator-Led Sellers - KOL and KOC storefronts - Affiliate creator collectives + Cross-Border Merchants - China-origin sellers - Regional Southeast Asian sellers * Customer Type + Gen Z Consumers - Students and first-jobbers - Trend-led mobile shoppers + Millennial Households - Young professionals - Digitally active parents + Value-Seeking Families - Promotion-led urban buyers - Price-sensitive provincial buyers + Premium Digital Shoppers - Official-store loyalists - High-service convenience buyers * Purchase Occasion + Mega Campaign Events - Double-date festivals - Platform anniversary campaigns + Daily Deal Livestreams - Flash discount sessions - Recurring creator schedules + Product Launches - New collection reveals - Demonstration-led debuts + Seasonal Gifting - Tet and holiday gifting - Family celebration purchases * Revenue Model + Marketplace Commission - Transaction take rate - Category-based commission + Affiliate Commission - Creator sales commission - Network override fees + Advertising & Boosting - Livestream traffic ads - Search and feed promotion + Fulfillment & Payments - Logistics service fees - Payment processing income + Studio & Technology Fees - Managed livestream services - Analytics and production software * Geography + Ho Chi Minh City - Central urban districts - Thu Duc commerce cluster + Hanoi - Core urban districts - Western digital business corridor + Southeast Urban Corridor - Binh Duong demand cluster - Dong Nai logistics cluster + Red River Delta - Hai Phong consumer base - Bac Ninh industrial households + Tier 2 and Tier 3 Provinces - Central coastal cities - Mekong Delta provinces --- ## Market Trajectory # Vietnam Live Commerce Market Size, Share & Forecast, By Platform Type, Product Category & Revenue Model, 2026–2031 **Geography:** Vietnam | **Historical Period:** 2020-2025 | **Forecast Period:** 2026-2031 The Vietnam Live Commerce Market reached an estimated **USD 4.05 billion in gross merchandise value in 2025**, supported by 79.0 million social media user identities and a rapid shift toward entertainment-led product discovery.

The strongest annual expansion occurred in 2022 at 72.1%, coinciding with TikTok Shop's entry and rapid creator onboarding. Growth moderated to 49.1% in 2024 before reaccelerating to 55.2% in 2025 as TikTok Shop nearly doubled platform GMV and live-selling infrastructure became professionalized. Paid order volume grew faster than blended order value through most of the period, indicating that frequency, promotion intensity and broadening category participation were the primary historical expansion mechanisms. ### Forecast Market Outlook (2026-2031) Forecast growth is expected to normalize around 19% to 21% annually, taking the market to USD 12,150 million by 2031. Paid live-commerce orders are projected to reach 512.7 million, while blended ASP rises to USD 23.7 as official stores, bundles and higher-quality assortments gain share. Conversion optimization, repeat-buyer economics and fee monetization will replace pure creator acquisition as the principal growth levers. Regulation will reduce low-quality supply, but verified sellers and professional studios should capture a larger share of trusted transactions, supporting durable value growth despite slower audience expansion. ## Market Size Calculator, Triangulated Base-Year Estimate ### Step 0, Scope Lock | Parameter | Locked Scope | | --- | --- | | Product and Service Taxonomy | Goods purchased during

For CEOs and investors, the critical question is whether order growth, buyer retention and ASP expansion can offset rising platform fees, content production costs and compliance requirements. | Year | Market Size (USD Mn) | YoY Growth (%) | Paid Live Orders (Mn) | Active Live Buyers (Mn) | Blended ASP (USD) | Period | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2020 | 360 | - | 25.0 | 5.0 | 14.4 | Historical | | 2021 | 610 | 69.4% | 40.7 | 7.4 | 15.0 | Historical | | 2022 | 1,050 | 72.1% | 66.5 | 10.8 | 15.8 | Historical | | 2023 | 1,750 | 66.7% | 104.2 | 15.5 | 16.8 | Historical | | 2024 | 2,610 | 49.1% | 144.2 | 20.7 | 18.1 | Historical | | 2025 | 4,050 | 55.2% | 202.5 | 27.0 | 20.0 | Base Year | | 2026 | 4,880 | 20.5% | 238.0 | 30.5 | 20.5 | Forecast and Latest Operating KPIs | | 2027 | 5,900 | 20.9% | 279.6 | 34.0 | 21.1 | Forecast and Industry Outlook | | 2028 | 7,100 | 20.3% | 327.2 | 37.6 | 21.7 | Forecast and Industry Outlook | | 2029 | 8,520 | 20.0% | 382.1 | 41.2 | 22.3 | Forecast and Industry Outlook | | 2030 | 10,180 | 19.5% | 442.6 | 44.8 | 23.0 | Forecast and Industry Outlook | | 2031 | 12,150 | 19.4% | 512.7 | 48.5 | 23.7 | Forecast and Industry Outlook | **KPI 1, Paid Live Orders:** **202.5 million orders, 2025, Vietnam**. Order volume indicates transaction depth rather than audience reach and is the most direct operating lever for fulfillment, payments and platform commission pools. A TikTok Shop event generated more than 37,000 orders in four days, illustrating the scale achievable through concentrated live campaigns. **KPI 2, Active Live Buyers:** **27.0 million buyers, 2025, Vietnam**. Buyer penetration determines how quickly platforms can shift from acquisition subsidies to repeat-purchase economics. Vietnam had 79.0 million social media user identities in October 2025, providing a large but not fully monetized addressable audience. **KPI 3, Blended ASP:** **USD 20.0 per order, 2025, Vietnam**. ASP reflects product mix, trust and fee pass-through. YouNet ECI reported a 33% market-wide ASP increase in Q4 2025 alongside an 8% volume decline, demonstrating the elasticity risk when platform fees and merchant costs are transferred to consumers. --- --- ## Market Segmentation # CHAPTER 5 - Market Segmentation Framework Comprehensive analysis across key dimensions providing insights into market structure, consumer preferences, and distribution patterns. | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | **No of Segments:** 7 | **Dominant Segment:** Platform Type | **Fastest Growing Segment:** Revenue Model | ### Segmentation Framework | Priority | Level-1 Segment / Taxonomy Dimension | Level-2 Sub-Segments | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Platform Type | Integrated Marketplace Livestreaming; Social Network Livestreaming; Brand-Owned Livestreaming; Creator Network Livestreaming | | 2 | Product Category | Fashion & Accessories; Beauty & Personal Care; FMCG; Consumer Electronics; Home & Lifestyle | | 3 | Seller Type | Brands & Official Stores; Marketplace SMEs; Creator-Led Sellers; Cross-Border Merchants | | 4 | Customer Type | Gen Z Consumers; Millennial Households; Value-Seeking Families; Premium Digital Shoppers | | 5 | Purchase Occasion | Mega Campaign Events; Daily Deal Livestreams; Product Launches; Seasonal Gifting | | 6 | Revenue Model | Marketplace Commission; Affiliate Commission; Advertising & Boosting; Fulfillment & Payments; Studio & Technology Fees | | 7 | Geography | Ho Chi Minh City; Hanoi; Southeast Urban Corridor; Red River Delta; Tier 2 and Tier 3 Provinces | ### Key Segmentation Takeaways Comprehensive analysis across all extracted segmentation dimensions providing insights into market structure, consumer preferences, and distribution patterns. **Platform Type** - Integrated marketplace livestreaming dominates because it combines discovery, creator traffic, product catalogues, payment, promotions and logistics within one transaction environment. TikTok Shop is the leading live-first channel, while Shopee Live benefits from established marketplace trust and fulfillment. Social-network and brand-owned live rooms remain relevant for customer acquisition, but fragmented checkout and attribution constrain independently measurable GMV. **Revenue Model** - Revenue model is the fastest evolving dimension as platforms reduce reliance on subsidized transactions and monetize commissions, creator affiliation, traffic boosting, fulfillment, payments and production technology. Affiliate commission is expanding fastest because it aligns creator compensation with attributable sales, while advertising and boosting become critical for stream visibility. Professional brands increasingly evaluate contribution margin after platform, creator, voucher and logistics deductions. --- ## Regional Analysis # Regional Analysis Vietnam ranks among Southeast Asia's most advanced live-commerce markets, supported by high social-media penetration, strong TikTok Shop adoption and a sizable platform e-commerce base.

Growth Drivers ### Growth Drivers, Challenges & Opportunities Comprehensive analysis of key factors shaping the Vietnam Live Commerce Market, including growth catalysts, operational challenges, and emerging opportunities across production, distribution, and consumer segments. ## Growth Drivers ### Large Mobile-First Social Audience Vietnam's addressable funnel is expanding through **79.0 million social media identities (2025, Vietnam)**, supporting scalable live discovery and creator-led conversion. * **85.6 million internet users (2025, Vietnam)** provide sufficient reach for platforms to segment audiences by interest, location and purchase behavior, increasing the economic value of recommendation algorithms. * **127 million mobile connections (2025, Vietnam)** reinforce mobile access and enable viewers to transact from live feeds without desktop dependency, benefiting integrated marketplace and payment ecosystems. * **59% 5G population coverage (2025, Vietnam)** improves video quality and interaction latency, allowing creators and brands to deliver higher-production streams outside the two largest metros. ### Platform and Creator Ecosystem Expansion TikTok Shop's **93% GMV growth (2025, Vietnam)** demonstrates how entertainment-led discovery is reallocating traffic and seller investment toward livestream formats. * **39.6% platform GMV share (2025, TikTok Shop Vietnam)** gives live-first commerce sufficient scale to attract professional creators, studios, agencies and brand budgets. * **37,000 orders in four event days (2025, Ho Chi Minh City)** show that offline creator events linked to livestream checkout can compress acquisition, content and conversion into one campaign. * **1,500-plus creators (2026, METUB network)** indicate increasing institutional capacity for talent management, product tagging and live-shopping execution, benefiting brands that lack internal creator operations. ### Broadening Product and Buyer Participation Fashion captured **28% of platform GMV (2025, Vietnam)**, while FMCG expanded 38%, widening live commerce beyond discretionary impulse categories. * **53.1% fashion share on TikTok Shop (2025, Vietnam)** confirms the effectiveness of visual demonstration and entertainment for apparel and accessories, supporting specialist creator networks. * **38% FMCG growth (2025, Vietnam)** increases purchase frequency and reduces dependence on campaign-only transactions, creating recurring commission and fulfillment pools. * **10% higher mall-shop beauty unit sales in H2 (2025, Vietnam)** signals stronger demand for authenticity, favoring official stores and verified creator partnerships. --- ## Market Challenges ### Trust, Counterfeit and Mis-Selling Risk Authorities handled **15,544 market violations (first nine months 2025, Vietnam)**, highlighting the compliance burden surrounding product claims, seller identity and counterfeit control. * **17,746 inspections (first nine months 2025, Vietnam)** indicate intensified enforcement, increasing documentation and monitoring costs for platforms and merchants operating high-volume live sessions. * **133 cases with criminal signs (first nine months 2025, Vietnam)** raise reputational and legal exposure for platforms that cannot identify sellers or preserve evidence from livestreams. * **July 1, 2026 effective date (Law No. 122/2025/QH15, Vietnam)** requires explicit accountability for sellers, livestreamers and platform operators, potentially removing informal supply and raising onboarding friction. ### Fee Inflation and Seller Economics A **33% ASP increase (Q4 2025, Vietnam)** coincided with an 8% unit decline, exposing consumer price sensitivity and merchant margin pressure. * **5.6% fewer sellers (2025, Vietnam)** suggests consolidation as weaker merchants exit under rising fees, content costs and logistics requirements. * **33% higher revenue per seller (2025, Vietnam)** indicates scale benefits are concentrating among professional operators, raising entry barriers for small merchants without data and production capabilities. * **28% TikTok Shop share of 2024 platform GMV (Vietnam)** increases dependence on a small number of platforms whose fee and algorithm changes can rapidly alter seller profitability. ### Logistics and Returns Complexity Platform GMV reached **USD 16 billion (2024, Vietnam)**, but rural logistics and cash-on-delivery continue to raise failed-delivery and reverse-logistics costs. * **950 million products sold in Q1 2025 (Vietnam)** create high parcel density, but live-driven impulse purchases can increase cancellations and returns without accurate demonstrations. * **2-hour delivery standards in major cities (2024, Vietnam)** raise consumer expectations while remaining difficult to replicate across provincial markets, widening service-level economics. * **9% of retail sales from e-commerce (2024, Vietnam)** implies continued headroom, but infrastructure outside urban hubs must improve before live commerce scales efficiently nationwide. --- ## Market Opportunities ### Official-Store Live Commerce Beauty mall-shop unit sales increased **10% in H2 2025 (Vietnam)**, creating a monetizable trust premium for verified brands and authorized sellers. * **54.4% Shopee beauty share (2025, Vietnam)** supports premium official-store livestreams where authenticity, warranty and controlled merchandising justify higher ASPs. * **44.1% TikTok Shop beauty share (2025, Vietnam)** creates opportunities for brand-creator co-hosting, affiliate commissions and demonstration-led conversion. * **Seller verification effective July 2026 (Vietnam)** must be translated into visible trust badges, traceable claims and standardized return workflows for the premium to materialize. ### Provincial Creator and Studio Networks **59% 5G population coverage (2025, Vietnam)** allows professional live-selling capacity to expand beyond Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. * **34 provinces with industrial growth (first nine months 2025, Vietnam)** indicate broader income and merchant bases that can support localized creator commerce. * **27.7% industrial growth in Phu Tho (2025, Vietnam)** illustrates emerging provincial demand where local creators can lower customer acquisition costs and improve cultural relevance. * **1,000-plus participants in a compliance program (2025, Vietnam)** show that training, certification and managed-studio services can become paid infrastructure for merchants. ### Performance-Based Creator Monetization Affiliate networks connect **8,500 merchants and 550,000 publishers (2025, Southeast Asia)**, enabling scalable, sales-linked creator compensation models. ([accesstrade.global]) * **10,000-plus cross-border campaigns (2026, Ecomobi Passio)** create inventory and monetization breadth for Vietnamese creators serving regional buyers and brands. * **3,000-plus content creators (METUB reference case)** provide a pool for specialized category matching, professional production and repeat campaign execution. * **20.09% forecast CAGR (2026-2031, Vietnam)** can support SaaS, attribution, studio and managed-commerce businesses if platforms improve transparent order attribution and payout reconciliation. --- --- ## Competitive Landscape # CHAPTER 8 -

FAQs #### Q: How large is the Vietnam live commerce market in the base year? **A:** The Vietnam Live Commerce Market was valued at USD 4.05 billion in 2025 on a gross merchandise value basis. The estimate covers goods purchased during real-time shoppable livestreams across integrated marketplaces, social networks, creator networks and brand-owned live rooms. It excludes ordinary marketplace orders, short-video affiliate transactions completed outside a live session, advertising revenue and duplicated service-provider fees. The result is triangulated from platform GMV, live-channel intensity, active buyer counts, purchase frequency and blended order value. **Data used:** USD 4.05 billion GMV in 2025; 202.5 million paid live orders in 2025 **So what:** Investors should assess live commerce as a distinct transaction channel with platform-specific economics, not as a simple subset of social-media advertising. #### Q: What is the forecast size and growth rate through 2031? **A:** The market is forecast to reach USD 12.15 billion by 2031, representing a 20.09% CAGR from the 2025 base. Growth is expected to moderate from historical levels as the market matures, but remain above broader retail growth because live commerce is still gaining share within e-commerce. Paid order volume is projected to grow faster than the buyer base, while ASP expands gradually through official-store participation, better product quality, bundles and higher consumer trust. **Data used:** USD 12.15 billion GMV in 2031; 20.09% CAGR during 2025-2031 **So what:** Strategy teams should prioritize repeat-purchase frequency, creator productivity and contribution margin rather than relying on audience growth alone. #### Q: Where will the profit pool shift as the market scales? **A:** Profit pools will shift from traffic subsidies toward transaction commissions, affiliate services, performance advertising, fulfillment, payments, studio operations and analytics. Platforms with integrated checkout and attribution retain the strongest monetization position, while agencies gain value when they can demonstrate incremental GMV rather than reach alone. Brands and official stores may accept higher service costs when seller verification, warranty, authenticity and controlled content improve conversion and reduce returns. Smaller sellers face pressure unless they pool production and creator resources. **Data used:** 33% higher ASP in Q4 2025; 33% higher revenue per seller in 2025 **So what:** Operators should model full contribution margin after commission, creator payout, voucher, advertising, fulfillment, returns and tax. #### Q: What is the main constraint or risk to market development? **A:** The central risk is declining transaction trust combined with rising compliance and acquisition costs. Counterfeit products, exaggerated live claims, weak seller identity controls and impulse-driven returns can damage repeat purchase. Vietnam's new E-Commerce Law increases accountability for sellers, livestreamers and platforms, which should improve market quality but may remove informal merchants and increase onboarding costs. Platform concentration also exposes sellers to abrupt changes in fees, recommendation algorithms, traffic allocation and creator commission rules. **Data used:** 15,544 market violations in the first nine months of 2025; law effective July 1, 2026 **So what:** Businesses need documented claims, verified supply, retained livestream records and channel diversification to protect continuity. #### Q: How does Vietnam compare with regional live-commerce markets? **A:** Vietnam ranks third among the selected Southeast Asian peers by estimated 2025 live-commerce GMV, behind Indonesia and Thailand, but ahead of the Philippines and Malaysia. Its competitive advantage is not population scale alone; it combines high social-media penetration, rapid TikTok Shop adoption, an established e-commerce logistics base and improving 5G coverage. The Philippines may grow slightly faster from a smaller base, while Indonesia retains the largest absolute opportunity and more substantial platform GMV. **Data used:** Vietnam USD 4.05 billion in 2025; Indonesia USD 9.80 billion in 2025 **So what:** Regional entrants can use Vietnam as a high-growth proving ground for creator-led category strategies before broader Southeast Asian expansion. #### Q: Which demand driver has the greatest impact on market growth? **A:** The most important driver is the conversion of Vietnam's large mobile social audience into repeat live-commerce buyers. Audience reach is already substantial, so future growth depends on transaction frequency, category breadth and trust. Fashion and beauty remain strong demonstration categories, while FMCG provides recurring purchase behavior. Better connectivity and recommendation systems expand reach, but official stores, transparent claims, reliable delivery and easier payments determine whether viewers become repeat buyers rather than one-time promotion seekers. **Data used:** 79.0 million social media identities in 2025; 38% FMCG platform growth in 2025 **So what:** Platforms and brands should optimize retention cohorts and cross-category migration, not only livestream views and peak concurrent audiences. #### Q: Which strategic actions should brands prioritize first? **A:** Brands should first select categories and SKUs that benefit from live demonstration, then define an attributable unit-economics model covering platform commission, creator payout, vouchers, media, fulfillment and returns. They should build a repeatable host and content operating system, secure verified inventory, use official-store trust signals and integrate post-purchase CRM. A portfolio approach across TikTok Shop, Shopee Live and selected brand-owned events reduces dependence on one algorithm while preserving campaign learning. **Data used:** TikTok Shop 39.6% of platform GMV in 2025; Shopee 57.5% in 2025 **So what:** The winning operating model treats livestreaming as a measurable commerce channel with owned data and disciplined assortment governance. --- ## 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.
