Over the past few years, social media has become an essential part of the daily routines of the majority of Vietnamese citizens, alongside the rising rates of smartphone and internet penetration in the country. Thanks to its highly connected and young, digital-savvy population, the country has been among the nations with the highest number of social media users worldwide. Since their appearance, the usage of these social networks has been extended from connecting people and providing entertainment, to becoming powerful tools for brands to engage with consumers on both domestic and global scales. As a result, in a social media-driven market like Vietnam, business strategies such as social commerce and influencer marketing are vital to winning over the market.
