In particular, the double  growth rate of canned food revenue was 5.17% and 4.65% of confectionery.

With the  population structure in the world's youngest top with 56% of the population under 30 years old (according to Nielsen), total consumer spending in Vietnam is expected to double and reach approximately 173 billion dollars in 2020 (source: Euromonitor, Global Insight, Bain Analysis). Nielsen also announced the growth of the market for fast moving consumer products (FMCG) in Vietnam as of 3/2012 quarter was 23%, surpassing the major markets such as India, China (Grocery Report 2012- Nielsen). Another important factor to promote more investment by businesses in FMCG sector is forecasting GDP growth of 7.2% Vietnam will reach in 2017, according to estimates by the Economist Intelligence (Vietnam Country Report, January 4/2013-EIU, page 7).
As reports in the consumer goods industry  of Bain & Company,  Vietnam's economy is developing very high speed, so retail spending will increase in all types of retail, especially modern grocery, personal commodities and entertaining. In Vietnam, the "champion of indigenous retail" which has dominated in the model as a modern grocery, jewelry and electronics. Euromonitor's research estimates, full-scale Vietnam retail market will reach approximately $ 34 billion in 2016. The total retail market size of the real Vietnam in 2011 was 29 billion dollars.
According to Euromonitor, the leading retail sector in Vietnam in 2016 will consist of garments; electronic; Modern grocery; health and beauty; personal goods and recreation; home and garden; traditional grocery.The strong growth will take place in the sub-sectors such as modern grocery; Personal goods and entertainment.

In 2011, traditional grocery distribution sector in Vietnam reached US $ 11 billion full-scale, the forecast market size in 2016 will be reduced to US $ 10.7 billion (down 1%).Conversely,  in 2011, if the modern model had only  in total market scale $ 1.6 billion, is expected by 2016 will rise to $ 2.8 billion (up 12%). Similarly, in the field of personal goods and recreation scale will also increase from 2.4 billion in 2011 to $ 4 billion in 2016, ie an increase of 11%.
Bain analysis may partly explain why large FMCG firms such as Masan Vietnam, Vinamilk, Kinh Do ... could win front of multinational giants, which are very strong in terms of capital and distribution system.The key element to the success of domestic enterprises listed Bain include: (1) local scale, (2) ability to lead in terms of price, (3) localized factors. In summary, according to Bain, the loyalty of our customers is very important to local businesses win in the retail sector. It is vital that the consumer business in the country is pretty well positioned. In some cases, even corporations multinational retailers like Walmart and glorious defeat, because the key did not grasp the "localization". Walmart had failed in Korea because the group does not know how to adjust business strategy to suit local markets. In other words, they do not do so, "Korean" of your brand here.
The recent analysis about Vietnam in consumer goods sector showed potential revenue growth of this sector is even greater. Total revenue of the areas related to consumer goods in Vietnam is expected to increase to 140 billion dollars in 2016. In particular, the growth rate of real expenditure of consumers (CAGR) 2011-2016 was 3% in the retail, consumer goods (non-food and beverages) 6%, food and beverage industry other 3% (source: VINaconnect Report, Euromonitor and Bain Analysis). According to Euromonitor reports and Bain Analysis, expenditure in the field of food and non-alcoholic beverages in Vietnam could reach 276 billion dollars by 2016. With income per a person is increasing, reaching about $ 1,521 in 2012, Vietnam's market promises to be the new star of consumer goods in Asia.

But the remaining issue is whether Vietnam can now take advantage of the great opportunity or not?
