Vietnam: Retail Foods

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Vietnam's food retail sector is dominated by small traditional trade, although modern retail channels are expanding in response to growing consumer demand. Overall economic growth, the increase in disposable income, and a sizeable young population, are driving changes in consumption patterns. Imports of consumer-oriented food and beverages from the United States reached $657 million in 2012, making Vietnam the 13th largest export market for the category.
