Vietnam’s e-commerce sector is undergoing a rapid transformation, moving beyond simple online transactions to become a connected ecosystem of marketplaces, digital payments, logistics, and AI-powered experiences. At the forefront of this change, Boston Consulting Group (BCG) is tracking the trends that will define the next generation of market leaders.

In this edition of Expert Perspectives, we sit down with Mr. Luan Nguyen, Principal at BCG to explore Vietnam’s fast-evolving digital economy: from the rise of “super apps” like Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop, and Tiki to the boom in Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services, AI-driven personalization, and predictive logistics. BCG’s insights point to one clear conclusion: future winners will deliver more than competitive pricing. They will combine trust, convenience, and discovery-driven engagement into immersive, always-on shopping experiences.
