# Vietnam Online Advertising and Digital Media Market Size, Share & Forecast, By Advertising Format, Platform Type, Device & End-Use Industry, 2026-2031 --- ## Market Overview # CHAPTER 1 - Market Overview The Vietnam Online Advertising and Digital Media Market functions through auction-based search and social inventory, publisher-direct placements, retail-media listings, creator sponsorships and automated programmatic exchanges. Demand is supported by 85.6 million internet users in 2025, equivalent to 84.2% population penetration. This audience scale makes digital channels commercially essential for national brands, online merchants and service-sector customer acquisition. Ho Chi Minh City is the principal commercial hub because it concentrates multinational advertisers, consumer brands, agencies, e-commerce headquarters and technology talent. The city is estimated to represent 43% of national digital advertising expenditure in 2025, while Hanoi contributes approximately 31%. This concentration improves campaign liquidity, agency specialization and access to high-value retail, financial-services and technology accounts. Decree 147/2024, effective from 25 December 2024, materially increases platform compliance requirements. Cross-border providers reaching 100,000 monthly visits for six consecutive months must notify authorities, authenticate eligible social-network accounts, implement child-protection measures and support content-control requests. These obligations raise compliance expenditure but also strengthen verification, advertiser accountability and the operating position of fully registered platforms. Vietnam's digital economy reached approximately USD 39 billion in gross merchandise value during 2025, with e-commerce exceeding USD 25 billion. Advertising expenditure is consequently shifting toward commerce-linked media, short-form video and closed-loop attribution. Investors should expect profit pools to migrate from undifferentiated display inventory toward retail media, creator-led content, first-party audience products and measurable conversion formats. ## KPIs at a Glance * Market Value: USD 1,470.0 million (2025) * Dominant Region: Ho Chi Minh City (2025) * Dominant Segment: Social Media Advertising, with Retail Media & Sponsored Commerce fastest growing (2025) * Total Number of Players: 1,250 ## Future Outlook The Vietnam Online Advertising and Digital Media Market is projected to increase from USD 1,470.0 million in 2025 to USD 3,198.3 million by 2031, representing a forecast CAGR of 13.83%. This acceleration compares with a 10.60% historical CAGR during 2020-2025. Growth will be supported by deeper digital wallet usage, advertiser demand for measurable sales attribution, expansion of TikTok-style short video, social commerce and retailer-owned advertising inventory. Mobile will remain the primary delivery environment, although connected television, premium streaming video and cross-device audience planning will capture a rising share of brand budgets. Market structure will become more outcome-oriented during 2026-2031. Search, social and video platforms will retain scale advantages, while marketplaces, local publishers and messaging ecosystems monetize first-party transaction and behavioral data. Revenue growth is expected to outpace impression growth because average monetization improves through better targeting, premium video inventory and commerce conversion products. Compliance with account authentication, content moderation, tax registration and data-processing requirements will favor platforms with local operating capacity. The principal downside risks are macroeconomic advertising cuts, platform concentration, invalid traffic, inconsistent attribution and higher compliance costs for smaller publishers and ad-technology providers. --- | | | | --- | --- | | **13.83%** Forecast CAGR | **$3,198.3 Mn** 2031 Projection | --- | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Base Year **2025** | Historical Period **2020-2025** | Forecast Period **2026-2031** | Historical CAGR **10.60%** | --- ## Scope of the Report # CHAPTER 2 - Scope of the Market * **Geographic Coverage:** Vietnam, including major metropolitan and secondary provincial advertising markets * **Historical Period:** 2020-2025 * **Base Year:** 2025 * **Forecast Period:** 2026-2031 * **Market Segments Covered:** 7 primary segmentation dimensions (Advertising Format, Platform Type, Device, Pricing Model, Campaign Objective, End-Use Industry, Geography) * **Companies Covered:** Top 10 key players profiled * **Currency & Units:** USD, values expressed in USD Mn/Bn ### Segmentation Data Tree * Advertising Format + Search Advertising - Paid Search Listings - Shopping Search Ads - Local Search Promotions + Social Media Advertising - Social Feed Ads - Short-Form Video Ads - Messaging Platform Ads + Online Video Advertising - In-Stream Video - Out-Stream Video - Connected TV Video + Display & Programmatic Advertising - Banner & Rich Media - Programmatic Display - Publisher Native Ads + Retail Media & Sponsored Commerce - Sponsored Product Listings - Marketplace Display Ads - Affiliate Commerce Media * Platform Type + Global Walled Gardens - Search Platforms - Global Social Networks - Global Video Platforms + Local Social & Messaging Platforms - Messaging Ecosystems - Local Social Communities - Local Search Platforms + E-Commerce Marketplaces - Horizontal Marketplaces - Vertical Marketplaces - Quick-Commerce Platforms + Publisher & News Networks - Digital News Publishers - Entertainment Publishers - Specialist Content Networks + AdTech & Creator Platforms - Demand-Side Platforms - Influencer Marketplaces - Affiliate Networks * Device + Smartphones - Mobile Web - In-App Inventory - Mobile Commerce Ads + Desktop & Laptops - Desktop Search - Web Display - Enterprise Media + Connected Television - Streaming Applications - Smart TV Inventory - Addressable Television + Tablets - Tablet Web - Tablet Applications + Other Connected Screens - Gaming Devices - Digital Audio Devices - Connected Retail Screens * Pricing Model + Cost per Click - Search Click Pricing - Social Click Pricing - Commerce Click Pricing + Cost per Mille - Display CPM - Video CPM - Premium Publisher CPM + Cost per Acquisition - Lead Acquisition - Sale Conversion - App Installation + Cost per View - Completed Video Views - Short-Video Views - Livestream Views + Fixed Sponsorship & Native Fees - Creator Sponsorships - Publisher Partnerships - Branded Content Packages * Campaign Objective + Brand Awareness - Mass Reach - Video Completion - Brand Recall + Lead Generation - Form Submissions - Qualified Enquiries - Dealer Leads + Commerce Conversion - Marketplace Sales - Website Purchases - Store Visit Attribution + App Acquisition & Engagement - App Installations - Active User Growth - In-App Transactions + Customer Retention & Remarketing - Repeat Purchases - Subscription Renewal - Customer Reactivation * End-Use Industry + Retail & E-Commerce - Online Marketplaces - Omnichannel Retailers - Direct-to-Consumer Brands + FMCG & Consumer Goods - Food & Beverages - Beauty & Personal Care - Household Products + BFSI & FinTech - Banking - Insurance - Digital Payments + Telecom, Technology & Media - Telecommunications - Consumer Technology - Media & Entertainment + Travel, Automotive & Services - Travel & Hospitality - Automotive - Education & Healthcare * Geography + Ho Chi Minh City - Central Business District - Eastern Innovation Corridor - Peripheral Consumer Districts + Hanoi - Central Commercial Districts - Western Technology Corridor - Greater Hanoi Provinces + Southeast Industrial Corridor - Binh Duong - Dong Nai - Ba Ria-Vung Tau + Central Coastal Cities - Da Nang - Hue - Nha Trang + Mekong Delta & Secondary Provinces - Can Tho - Hai Phong - Provincial Growth Markets --- ## Market Trajectory # Vietnam Online Advertising and Digital Media Market Size, Share & Forecast, By Advertising Format, Platform Type, Device & End-Use Industry, 2026-2031 **Geography:** Vietnam | **Historical Period:** 2020-2025 | **Forecast Period:** 2026-2031 The Vietnam Online Advertising and Digital Media Market generated USD 1,470.0 million in 2025.

Growth moderated to 9.54% in 2023 amid cost controls and weaker discretionary demand, before recovering to 11.03% in 2025. Monetized impressions rose from 0.70 trillion to 1.18 trillion, while blended eCPM remained near USD 1.25 because rapid inventory creation offset improving targeting and video monetization. ### Forecast Market Outlook (2026-2031) Market growth is expected to accelerate to 13.83% annually, supported by a 10.17% CAGR in monetized impressions and approximately 3.22% annual improvement in blended eCPM. The terminal market value reaches USD 3,198.3 million in 2031, while monetized impressions increase to 2.11 trillion. Retail media, shoppable video, connected television and AI-assisted campaign optimization will increase the value of authenticated audiences and shift advertiser evaluation from reach-based buying toward measurable customer acquisition, transactions and lifetime value. --- ## Market Breakdown # CHAPTER 4 - Market Breakdown The Vietnam Online Advertising and Digital Media Market is transitioning from inventory-led growth toward higher-value audience targeting, commerce attribution and video engagement.

Facebook, TikTok, Messenger and Zalo provide access to nationally scaled audiences, while retail, FMCG and financial-services advertisers use feed, video and messaging placements across awareness, lead-generation and commerce-conversion objectives. **Retail Media & Sponsored Commerce** - Marketplace advertising is expanding fastest as Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop and merchant ecosystems connect ad exposure with product discovery, transaction and repeat-purchase data. Sponsored listings and shoppable video attract budgets previously allocated to trade marketing, search and social prospecting, creating a measurable profit pool for marketplaces, brands, agencies and affiliate creators. --- ## Regional Analysis # CHAPTER 6 - Regional Analysis Vietnam ranks fourth among the selected Southeast Asian peer markets by 2025 digital advertising value, but it is the fastest-growing market in the comparison set. Its combination of large social audiences, local messaging scale, improving broadband performance and expanding commerce media gives operators a stronger growth profile than more mature markets. ### KPI Summary * Focus Country Ranking: **4th** * Focus Country Market Size: **USD 1.47 Bn (2025)** * Focus Country CAGR: **13.83% (2026-2031)** | Country | Market Size (USD Bn, 2025) | CAGR (%) | Internet Users (Mn, 2025) | Mobile Connections per 100 People | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Indonesia | 3.23 | 5.70% | 221.0 | 127 | | Philippines | 2.10 | 11.22% | 97.5 | 126 | | Thailand | 1.50 | 13.75% | 65.4 | 141 | | Vietnam | 1.47 | 13.83% | 85.6 | 134 | | Malaysia | 1.20 | 11.80% | 35.4 | 129 | ### Market Position Vietnam ranks fourth by 2025 market value at USD 1.47 billion, narrowly behind Thailand, while its 85.6 million internet users provide a larger addressable audience than Thailand and Malaysia. ### Growth Advantage Vietnam's 13.83% forecast CAGR exceeds Thailand's 13.75%, Malaysia's 11.80%, the Philippines' 11.22% and Indonesia's 5.70%, positioning it as the peer group's strongest growth market.

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 Online Advertising and Digital Media Market, including growth catalysts, operational challenges, and emerging opportunities across platform, publisher, advertiser and consumer segments. ## Growth Drivers ### Scaled Mobile-First Digital Audience Vietnam's **85.6 million internet users (2025, Vietnam)** provide national reach for mobile search, social, video and commerce campaigns. * **84.2% internet penetration (2025, Vietnam)** lets advertisers reach broad consumer cohorts without relying exclusively on television, improving the economics of national digital launches and always-on acquisition. * **137 million cellular connections (2025, Vietnam)** support mobile-first inventory across applications, browsers and messaging platforms, benefiting social networks, ad networks, publishers and app-based service providers. * **152.17 Mbps median mobile speed (2025, Vietnam)** improves video completion, livestream commerce and rich-media delivery, enabling higher-value creative formats and reducing abandonment caused by slow loading. ### E-Commerce and Retail-Media Expansion Vietnam's digital economy reached **USD 39 billion GMV (2025, Vietnam)**, expanding the commercial base for sponsored listings and conversion-led media. * **More than USD 25 billion e-commerce GMV (2025, Vietnam)** creates transaction-rich advertising inventory for marketplaces, merchants and brands seeking measurable product sales rather than proxy engagement metrics. * **17% e-commerce growth (2025, Vietnam)** increases competition for sponsored-product visibility, benefiting marketplace operators, retail-media technology providers, affiliate networks and performance agencies. * **USD 178 billion digital-payment value (2025, Vietnam)** improves attribution between media exposure and transactions, supporting closed-loop campaign measurement and automated return-on-ad-spend optimization. ### Video, Social and Creator Monetization Vietnam recorded **79.0 million social media identities (2025, Vietnam)**, sustaining investment in short video, creators and social commerce. * **76.1 million adult TikTok users (2025, Vietnam)** provide scale for entertainment-led discovery, creator partnerships and shoppable video, favoring brands with rapid creative testing capabilities. * **62.1 million YouTube users (2025, Vietnam)** strengthen long-form video, connected-screen and performance-video demand, creating premium inventory for advertisers and production partners. * **78.3 million Zalo monthly users (2025, Vietnam)** give local advertisers a domestic messaging and customer-engagement channel with Vietnamese-language data and CRM integration potential. --- ## Market Challenges ### Platform Concentration and Revenue Leakage Global platforms are estimated to capture **approximately 65% of digital advertising value (2025, Vietnam)**, limiting publisher bargaining power and domestic data ownership. * **60-70% historical platform concentration (2020, Vietnam MIC)** illustrates the structural scale advantage of Google and Meta, pressuring local publishers to aggregate inventory or differentiate through first-party audiences. * **USD 78 million platform tax collections (2022, Vietnam)** from major foreign technology firms demonstrate rising fiscal enforcement and the need for transparent local revenue and invoice structures. * **At least 100,000 monthly visits (2024, Decree 147 threshold)** trigger cross-border notification and compliance duties, increasing legal, reporting and moderation costs for scaled platforms. ### Measurement, Fraud and Attribution Gaps An estimated **8-12% of addressable impressions (2025, Vietnam estimate)** face invalid-traffic, duplication or low-viewability risk, weakening advertiser confidence. * **Five major measurement environments (2025, market scope)** across search, social, video, marketplaces and publishers create inconsistent conversion windows, making cross-channel return comparisons difficult for advertisers. * **79.0 million reported social identities (2025, Vietnam)** cannot be treated as fully unique people, requiring deduplication, reach calibration and independently validated campaign reporting. * **1.18 trillion monetized impressions (2025, Vietnam estimate)** increase the economic value of viewability controls, bot filtering, brand-safety verification and incrementality testing for agencies and advertisers. ### Compliance and Content-Control Costs Decree 147 introduces **five principal compliance obligations (2024, Vietnam)** affecting authentication, reporting, child protection, moderation and local notification. * **25 December 2024 effective date (Vietnam)** requires platforms to embed compliance into product, moderation and advertiser onboarding processes rather than treating regulation as an external legal function. * **10,000 monthly visits or 1,000 active users (2024, domestic social-network threshold)** can trigger licensing requirements, creating proportionally higher compliance burdens for emerging local platforms. * **24-month data-retention expectation (2025, regulatory interpretation)** increases infrastructure, security and governance expenditure for platforms handling authenticated user data. --- ## Market Opportunities ### Marketplace Retail-Media Networks Retail media can address a **USD 25 billion e-commerce pool (2025, Vietnam)** through sponsored products, display and merchant analytics. * **6% market revenue share (2025, Vietnam estimate)** leaves substantial headroom for sponsored commerce to capture budgets from trade marketing, paid search and social conversion campaigns. * **Retail and e-commerce represent 24% of advertiser demand (2025, Vietnam estimate)**, benefiting marketplaces, merchant software providers, agencies and brands with SKU-level attribution capabilities. * **Closed-loop transaction measurement (2025, operating requirement)** must improve through clean rooms, merchant identifiers and standardized conversion reporting before retail media achieves institutional budget status. ### Vietnamese-Language AI Creative and Programmatic Tools AI-assisted campaign tools can serve **approximately 1,250 market participants (2025, Vietnam estimate)** seeking lower production costs and faster optimization. * **40,000 AI scholarships (2024, Google Vietnam)** expand the local skills base for automated media planning, creative generation and data analysis, benefiting agencies, publishers and technology vendors. * **20 AI start-ups receiving USD 350,000 each (2024, Vietnam)** signal investment in localized technology capabilities that can support language, commerce and audience-data products. * **13.83% market CAGR (2026-2031, Vietnam)** requires automated quality assurance, brand-safety and campaign optimization to scale without equivalent growth in manual agency headcount. ### Connected Television and Premium Video Connected video can monetize **62.1 million YouTube users (2025, Vietnam)** while attracting brand budgets migrating from linear television. * **5% connected-television device share (2025, Vietnam estimate)** represents an early-stage inventory pool with premium CPM potential for broadcasters, streaming services and video publishers. * **261.80 Mbps median fixed speed (2025, Vietnam)** supports high-definition streaming and addressable household advertising, reducing buffering-related campaign loss. * **USD 1.52 blended eCPM projected (2031, Vietnam)** depends partly on expanding verified video, connected-screen and high-attention inventory beyond commodity mobile display. --- --- ## Competitive Landscape # CHAPTER 8 - Competitive Landscape Overview The market is moderately consolidated around global search, social and video platforms, while local messaging, publisher, marketplace and ad-technology companies compete through Vietnamese-language inventory, first-party data, commerce attribution and advertiser service capabilities. * **Key players:** 10 * **New Entrants (last 5

The estimate covers paid search, social, online video, programmatic display, retail media, native inventory and creator sponsorships attributable to Vietnamese advertisers and audiences. It excludes agency service fees, production expenditure, telecom access revenue, e-commerce GMV and consumer media subscriptions. Supply-side company revenue, monetized-impression economics and advertiser-demand calculations were weighted to produce the final value. **Data used:** USD 1,470.0 million market value in 2025; 1.18 trillion monetized impressions in 2025 **So what:** Investors and operators should benchmark entry plans against the defined advertising-revenue pool rather than broader digital-marketing or media-sector estimates. #### Q: What is the market forecast and expected CAGR through 2031? **A:** Market value is projected to reach USD 3.20 billion by 2031, representing a 13.83% CAGR from the 2025 base. Monetized impressions are expected to expand at 10.17% annually, while blended eCPM rises from USD 1.25 to USD 1.52. The gap between value and volume growth reflects better targeting, premium video, retail-media attribution and first-party audience products rather than inventory expansion alone. Growth is strongest during the transition toward commerce-linked and automated campaign formats. **Data used:** USD 3,198.3 million in 2031; 13.83% forecast CAGR **So what:** Strategy should prioritize monetization quality and closed-loop measurement because premium yield growth becomes increasingly important after audience penetration matures. #### Q: Where will the market's profit pools shift during the forecast period? **A:** Profit pools will shift toward sponsored commerce, short-form video, connected television, creator partnerships and authenticated first-party audience products. Search and social platforms retain scale, but marketplaces can monetize transaction intent while local publishers can defend margins through premium Vietnamese-language inventory and direct advertiser relationships. Commodity display faces continuing pricing pressure because supply expands faster than advertiser demand. Companies controlling transaction data, identity resolution or high-attention video inventory should capture disproportionate incremental value. **Data used:** Retail and e-commerce represent an estimated 24% of advertiser demand in 2025; retail media holds approximately 6% of market revenue **So what:** Capital allocation should favor platforms capable of linking exposure to verified customer actions, purchases or long-term audience relationships. #### Q: What is the most material constraint or risk for market participants? **A:** The largest structural risk is the combination of global-platform concentration and rising regulatory compliance expenditure. A limited number of platforms control high-reach search, social and video inventory, weakening the bargaining position of agencies and publishers. Decree 147 adds account authentication, notification, reporting, child-protection and content-control obligations for qualifying providers. Smaller operators must fund compliance while competing against platforms with superior data, algorithms and advertiser self-service systems. **Data used:** Approximately 65% estimated global-platform revenue concentration in 2025; 100,000 monthly-visit cross-border threshold under Decree 147 **So what:** Local participants need differentiated data, premium content or commerce utility rather than competing solely through undifferentiated audience reach. #### Q: How does Vietnam compare with relevant Southeast Asian advertising markets? **A:** Vietnam ranks fourth among the five selected peers by 2025 digital advertising value, behind Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand but ahead of Malaysia under the comparable scope used. It has the fastest forecast CAGR at 13.83%, marginally above Thailand and materially above Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia. Vietnam also combines a larger internet audience than Thailand or Malaysia with strong local messaging adoption, giving advertisers both scale and culturally localized activation options. **Data used:** USD 1.47 billion market size in 2025; 85.6 million internet users in 2025 **So what:** Vietnam offers a growth-led investment thesis rather than the mature-yield profile associated with more saturated regional advertising markets. #### Q: Which demand driver has the greatest impact on market growth? **A:** The convergence of e-commerce, social video and digital payments is the most powerful demand driver because it converts online advertising from a reach channel into a transaction channel. Marketplace sponsored listings, shoppable video, affiliate creators and app-based remarketing allow advertisers to connect expenditure with sales data. This attracts budgets from trade promotion, offline activation and traditional media while also supporting performance pricing models that are accessible to smaller merchants. **Data used:** More than USD 25 billion e-commerce GMV in 2025; USD 178 billion digital-payment value in 2025 **So what:** Platforms and brands should integrate media planning with product feeds, payment data, merchant analytics and repeat-purchase measurement. #### Q: How should companies prioritize entry or expansion in this market? **A:** Companies should begin with a clearly defined advertiser vertical, measurable campaign objective and differentiated inventory or technology proposition. Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi provide the highest concentration of agencies, advertisers and digital talent, while secondary provinces offer lower-cost audience expansion. Entry models should include local compliance capabilities, Vietnamese-language creative, mobile-first landing experiences and independent measurement. Partnerships with marketplaces, publishers, messaging platforms or creator networks can reduce customer-acquisition cost and accelerate access to established audiences. **Data used:** Ho Chi Minh City estimated at 43% of 2025 expenditure; Hanoi estimated at 31% **So what:** A focused partnership-led launch is preferable to a broad inventory strategy without local audience, measurement or regulatory advantages. --- ## 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.
