Digital 2020 Vietnam (January 2020) v01DataReportal
All the data, statistics, and trends you need in order to understand digital in Vietnam in 2020. Includes the latest reported numbers for internet users, social media users, and mobile connections in Vietnam, as well as key indicators of ecommerce use. For more reports, including the latest global trends and individual data for more than 230 countries around the world, visit https://datareportal.com/
With youth, innovation and investment, the people of Vietnam have good reason to be optimistic about the future of the economy, and development of the digital economy over the next 20 years. The paths that may be taken for the development and growth of Vietnam through digital transformation are not risk-free, however, and will need to be navigated carefully.
Like many countries around the world at this point in history, the main challenge in the development of the next wave of the digital economy (implementing technologies such as artificial intelligence, advanced automation, digital-biological-physical networks and advanced GPS tracking, cloud-based platforms and blockchain systems) will be to lift labour productivity while maintaining high employment levels, social inclusion and equality; to transition the labour market and government systems along with the systems of wealth generation.
This is the first report in a larger study, Vietnam’s Future Digital Economy, an innovative joint project between Australia’s Data61|CSIRO and Vietnam’s Ministry for Science and Technology. It examines the state of Vietnam’s economy and digital economy at the beginning of 2018, and the trends that will affect its development over the next 20 years.
The broader study will explore how different rates of digital transformation could create a number of plausible futures for Vietnam’s digital economy. The project will also look into the possible impacts of digital technologies on two of Vietnam’s more significant industrial sectors: manufacturing and agriculture.

Impact of COVID-19 on Global Consumers and Emerging OpportunitiesSam Ghosh
COVID-19 is a humanitarian crisis as such the world has not seen for generations. For the consumers, it is a shock of unprecedented proportions. Consumer behavior in many sectors is going to change in the post-COVID era. Evidence shows that consumers have become more home-bound, digitally adopted, health-conscious, and community-driven.
While it is true that many industries suffered great losses and likely to struggle for years, opportunities are also emerging especially for emerging tech.
The pandemic has accelerated the shift to eCommerce and delivery services. Not only existing categories and consumer segments experienced a boost - new products and consumer segments found their way to eCommerce and delivery. As people are likely to continue spending more time at home, these sectors likely to see long-term growth. The retail subscription business also got a boost from the pandemic. The growth is driven by daily essentials. Hyper-local commerce, Social Commerce and Group-Buying are getting a stronghold as consumers are becoming more and more community-oriented.
Subscription Video on Demand (SVoD) services saw accelerated growth in both the number of subscribers and viewing time-span. The idea of entertainment is evolving supporting the SVoD sector for the long term.
The messaging apps saw significant growth due to the pandemic. Techcrunch reports that “WhatsApp has seen a 40% increase in usage that grew from an initial 27% bump in the earlier days of the pandemic to 41% in the mid-phase. For countries already in the later phase of the pandemic, WhatsApp usage has jumped by 51%”. As people were forced to stay at home - entertainment also shifted indoors. COVID worked as a boon to the Video Gaming and Esports industry.
COVID-19 has accelerated digital adoption in healthcare. Indian health platform Practo saw a 600% increase in online consultation between March and August 2020.
As COVID-19 forced the Gyms and similar facilities to remain closed, people quickly adopted to use fitness apps, streaming services, wearables, and connected devices. As making time for visits to the gym was inconvenient even before the pandemic, this change of behavior i.e. fitness at home likely to stay in the long term.
Social distancing forced people to buy pharmaceuticals online boosting the growth of online pharma. At the same time, sales of supplements increased significantly as people focused on boosting their immunity.
It is expected that small towns and rural areas are likely to lead the recovery creating opportunities for Agritech and Vernacular Tech.
Social network & Digital Payment in China 2017Dao Phuong Nam
The rapid growth of social networks and e-commerce
platforms has transformed the way people communicate
and transact around the world. Integrating digital payments
into these growing networks and platforms has presented
vast opportunities to drive economic opportunity, financial
inclusion, transparency, security, and growth. In practically
all countries individuals, businesses, and policymakers are
recognizing these opportunities and acting on them, but
perhaps nowhere more so than in China.
This report examines two of China’s most far-reaching
applications – WeChat and Alipay – and explores their
role in the development of one of the world’s largest and
most sophisticated digital payments ecosystems. The
report illustrates how incorporating digital payments
into existing services has unlocked economic opportunities
for hundreds of millions of users, including through
low-risk savings accounts, new credit assessment and
lending services, and by opening up new markets for
micro, small, and medium enterprises

Enhanced Enterprise Intelligence with your personal AI Data Copilot.pdfGetInData
Recently we have observed the rise of open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) that are community-driven or developed by the AI market leaders, such as Meta (Llama3), Databricks (DBRX) and Snowflake (Arctic). On the other hand, there is a growth in interest in specialized, carefully fine-tuned yet relatively small models that can efficiently assist programmers in day-to-day tasks. Finally, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures have gained a lot of traction as the preferred approach for LLMs context and prompt augmentation for building conversational SQL data copilots, code copilots and chatbots.
In this presentation, we will show how we built upon these three concepts a robust Data Copilot that can help to democratize access to company data assets and boost performance of everyone working with data platforms.
Why do we need yet another (open-source ) Copilot?
How can we build one?

Global Situational Awareness of A.I. and where its headedvikram sood
You can see the future first in San Francisco.
Over the past year, the talk of the town has shifted from $10 billion compute clusters to $100 billion clusters to trillion-dollar clusters. Every six months another zero is added to the boardroom plans. Behind the scenes, there’s a fierce scramble to secure every power contract still available for the rest of the decade, every voltage transformer that can possibly be procured. American big business is gearing up to pour trillions of dollars into a long-unseen mobilization of American industrial might. By the end of the decade, American electricity production will have grown tens of percent; from the shale fields of Pennsylvania to the solar farms of Nevada, hundreds of millions of GPUs will hum.
The AGI race has begun. We are building machines that can think and reason. By 2025/26, these machines will outpace college graduates. By the end of the decade, they will be smarter than you or I; we will have superintelligence, in the true sense of the word. Along the way, national security forces not seen in half a century will be un-leashed, and before long, The Project will be on. If we’re lucky, we’ll be in an all-out race with the CCP; if we’re unlucky, an all-out war.
Everyone is now talking about AI, but few have the faintest glimmer of what is about to hit them. Nvidia analysts still think 2024 might be close to the peak. Mainstream pundits are stuck on the wilful blindness of “it’s just predicting the next word”. They see only hype and business-as-usual; at most they entertain another internet-scale technological change.
Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. A few years ago, these people were derided as crazy—but they trusted the trendlines, which allowed them to correctly predict the AI advances of the past few years. Whether these people are also right about the next few years remains to be seen. But these are very smart people—the smartest people I have ever met—and they are the ones building this technology. Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride.
Let me tell you what we see.
The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

Foreword
Vietnam is a mobile-first market, with nearly all
internet users owning a smartphone and ¾ using
it as their preferred connection device. Mobile is
also the primary digital platform in rural Vietnam.
Despite the strength of mobile in Vietnam,
there is currently a lack of publicly
available research on rural audiences and
consumers, especially when it comes
to their digital behaviors on mobile.
Where past research has been available,
it quickly dates and does not adequately
reflect the current state of mobile in a
rapidly changing landscape. Additionally,
past research on mobile behavior has
covered Vietnam as a country in its entirety,
without drilling down into rural audiences.
“Mobile is the primary digital platform
in rural Vietnam.”
As a result, marketers in Vietnam have
been forced to resort to a ‘one-size-fits-
all’ approach, which targets both urban
and rural users as the same audience.
At the Mobile Marketing Association (MMA),
we aim to help marketers lead an imperative
for marketing change in ways that enable
future breakthroughs while optimizing current
activities. That’s why we believe that this
report “The State of Mobile in Rural Vietnam
2018/2019” will help create a meaningful impact
for marketers in Vietnam, who are looking to
implement growth strategies by targeting and
engaging with rural Vietnamese consumers.

Report Purpose and Objective
This report aims to provide marketers with valuable insights on the state of mobile
of rural audiences in Vietnam, specifically in terms of digital behaviors, payment
methods, and responsiveness towards online advertising, especially on mobile.
The report will draw out implications for marketers to utilize for their upcoming
marketing campaigns in 2019.
By enlightening, empowering, and enabling marketers, the MMA shapes future
success, while propelling business growth today.

5. 5mmaglobal.com The State of Mobile in Rural Vietnam Report
For the purposes of this report, the rural
demographic in Vietnam is defined as the
population that resides outside the six major
cities of Ha Noi, Hai Phong, Da Nang, Nha
Trang, Ho Chi Minh, and Can Tho.
At present, up to 70% of the population in each
province of Vietnam live in rural areas.
Vietnam is a mobile-first market, with nearly
all internet users owning a smartphone and ¾
using it as their preferred connection device.
The market has over 51 million smartphones,
representing over 80% of the population aged
15-years and older.
In rural Vietnam, 68% of mobile phone owners
have a smartphone.
The rural Vietnamese demographic spends on
average three hours connected to the internet
each day. While PC ownership is the more likely
primary connection device in urban areas, rural
Executive Summary: KeyTrends & Insights
internet users prefer their smartphone. Wi-Fi at
their home is the preferred connection method.
Mobile data is purchased infrequently in equal
splits between pre and post-paid data where
Wi-Fi is not available.
The rural Vietnamese have a strong sense of
both national pride and family integrity, with
togetherness being an important aspect of
everyday life. With family as a core value, the
mother fulfils an important role in driving the
family forward, by guiding the future of her
children.
A key personal challenge for today’s rural
Vietnamese is the notion of leaving the rural
environment and the lifestyle limitations
associated with it. Due to these limitations, the
internet (through their mobile) has become even
more important in providing the resources that
rural Vietnamese require to meet their needs
and wants.
6. 6mmaglobal.com The State of Mobile in Rural Vietnam Report
Rural users spend 40% of their time on the
internet interacting with each other via chat
apps. On average, rural Vietnamese access
instant messaging apps 6 to 7 times per day,
with an average session lasting 20 minutes.
Mothers are one of the key demographics
in Vietnam, with their media habits and life
priorities being guided by a strong desire to
see their children succeed. YouTube is seen
as a tool for mothers to groom their children
for success and help them to achieve the
aspirations they consider themselves as not
having fulfilled.
Millennials in rural Vietnam use the internet
to build their own competencies, and in turn,
increase the collective family status. They are
generally more driven than mothers, using
media to build and master skills for their own
progression. However, like mothers, millennials
would use the internet more frequently if data
was cheaper and connections were faster.
The relevance of online advertising plays a
critical role in conversion and marketers need
to leverage this to reach rural Vietnamese
audiences effectively. By leveraging the
aspirations of rural Vietnamese, marketers can
tailor their message to showcase how their
products and services can help the audience
achieve their goals and aspirations.
Marketers should create advertising that
showcases a transformation of image, stature,
identity, body, skills, and knowledge. They
should also illustrate progress, such as providing
examples of rural Vietnamese achieving life
goals including owning a vehicle, getting a good
job, or achieving public recognition.

‘‘In rural Vietnam, consumers primarily use smartphones. With the number of
people in this important demographic growing, there are multiple opportunities
for marketers to target these users.
Vietnam is one of the strongest growth markets for mobile ad spending in the
region. This is only expected to increase as smartphone penetration and the
consumption of online content rises.”

“Mobile Search is the top information seeking channel for rural Vietnamese and
is highly utilised by the majority of consumers. With Vietnamese using mobile
search and social media as their core information sources across all categories,
mobile marketers need to tailor their advertising to the aspirations of this
important rural demographic.
With over half the population actively using mobile search and leveraging other
internet sources like video and music for education and entertainment, this
report gives marketers the insights they need to craft solutions that target this
important demographic effectively.”
8. 8mmaglobal.com The State of Mobile in Rural Vietnam Report
Definition of which city/demographic is classified as rural
Defining the rural demographic in Vietnam is complex due to different
companies using various classification schemes. For the purposes of this
report, the rural Vietnam demographic is defined as areas that exclude the
six major cities of Ha Noi, Hai Phong, Da Nang, Nha Trang, Ho Chi Minh,
and Can Tho.
Currently up to 70% of the population in each province of Vietnam live in
rural areas.
An overview of Infrastructure, internet access and
mobile penetration
Of internet users in Vietnam, 94% own a smartphone. A smartphone is
defined as a mobile phone which performs many of the functions of a
computer, typically has a touchscreen, internet access and an operating
system capable of running downloaded apps. Smartphone penetration has
doubled since 2014, with 72% of the market accessing the internet via this
device and Wi-Fi being the primary internet connection method.
Introduction to Rural Vietnam
9. 9mmaglobal.com The State of Mobile in Rural Vietnam Report
Device ownership and primary device
for connection
Smartphone penetration in Vietnam has
doubled since 2014 and there are now
51 million smartphones, representing
over 80% of the 15 plus aged population.
In rural Vietnam, 89% of the population have
mobile phones, with 68% of these owning
a smartphone.
Level of engagement online
throughout the day
Rural users spend 40% of their daily internet
time interacting with each other via chat
apps. With rural Vietnamese accessing instant
messaging apps six to seven times per day with
an average session lasting 20 minutes.
Locations of accessing connection
Although Wi-Fi in their own home is the
preferred connection method, mobile data is
purchased by rural Vietnamese consumers in
equal splits between pre- and post-paid data
where Wi-Fi is not available. The lack of 3G and
4G connections may limit rural smartphone
users to connect mainly at home, hindering
mobile data consumption. However, Urbanites
have more access to these networks and
therefore buy mobile data more regularly.
Internet habits by location
Vietnamese online consumers use mobile
search and social media as their core
information sources. Mobile search is used
frequently to satisfy informational needs and
users are open to interacting with search
advertisements. Entertainment is the most
searched category in 95% of urban and 86% of
rural consumers.
When compared to their rural counterparts,
urban consumers are more readily activated by
Search ads when making purchases. They are an
online-savvy segment with an inquisitive mind
and a strong enthusiasm for spending. Relevant
content is a key driver for clicking on ads.

“Today Vietnamese use their smartphones as their primary internet access
device. Leveraging their mobile devices, they actively communicate with
each other while using online content to entertain and educate themselves.
As a mobile first market where messaging, social media, online video, and
e-payments are growing at a rapid pace, the mobile economy of rural Vietnam
is growing providing greater opportunities for mobile marketers.”
10. 10mmaglobal.com The State of Mobile in Rural Vietnam Report
Internet habits and device
ownership by audience
(mothers and millennials)
Mothers
Mothers are one of the key demographics in
Vietnam, with there being several significant
differences when it comes to internet usage
among mothers and women without children.
Mothers tend to own more devices, such as TVs
and tablets, and those who buy mobile data are
less likely to control their online usage. However,
it is non-mothers who are more likely to buy
mobile data and appear more comfortable with
smartphone usage.
The media habits and life priorities of
Vietnamese mothers are guided by a strong
desire to see their children succeed. Accessing
online video content is a part of many mothers’
daily lives, with nearly half watching online video
content with others. Mothers say they would
use services, such as YouTube, more frequently
if internet data was cheaper and faster, and if it
had more educational content.
YouTube is used as a tool for mothers to groom
their children for success, helping their children
achieve the aspirations they themselves were
unable to fulfil. Both rural and urban mothers
want content that can teach them something
new, as well as provide a seamless user
experience in familiar formats.
Millennials
Millennials are looking to progress by building
their own competencies, and in turn, increasing
the collective status of their family. Millennials
are more likely to access the internet several
times day and from numerous locations
(including work and internet cafes). This
substantial connection also leads to long
internet session times.
Millennials are more likely to use a smartphone
as their primary connection device, which
translates into a higher likelihood of buying
mobile data. However, those over 35 years of
age are more likely to use a more traditional
PC connection. This smartphone usage shows
millennials appear more comfortable on mobile
devices when it comes to behaviours such as
app installation.
They are generally more driven than mothers
to use media to build and master skills for
their own progression. However, like mothers,
millennials would use YouTube even more if
internet data was cheaper and faster, and if
there was more educational content. YouTube
ads must feel relevant to millennials’ needs and
relatable to their lives.
YouTube can also be used as a tool by
millennials for self-achievement and
progression, which contributes to the
collective status building of their family.
11. 11mmaglobal.com The State of Mobile in Rural Vietnam Report
Main driversfor using the two platforms
In Vietnam, the number of users who
search daily and leverage search is 1.4x
higher in urban than rural areas. Search is
primarily used to obtain quick and relevant
information, and users are generally
receptive to ads that are applicable to their
lives. Ultimately, search is used to drive
awareness, consideration, and purchase.
98% of Vietnamese who watch YouTube on
mobile devices regularly use the YouTube app,
with no difference in access between urban
and rural users. However, there are differences
in the way that YouTube is used across these
demographics. Urbanites appear to engage
with the site at a deeper level, whether it is
through watching more content for education,
or as part of the purchase process. They are
also more likely to multi-screen, whereas rural
users predominantly use smartphones at home.
Top highlights on media
consumption behaviours (content,
perception, and frequency)
Mobile Search is the top information
seeking channel, with urban users being a
key customer segment as they are more
receptive to ads and are inclined to purchase
more than their rural counterparts. Urban
consumers tend to be younger, more
curious, and more willing to use multiple
information channels than their rural peers.
Google Search & YouTube
82% of rural Vietnamese use YouTube for
relaxation, as opposed to 65% of their urban
counterparts. However, only 11% of them use
it for learning compared to 42% of Urbanites.
Listening to music is another popular category,
with 67% of Urbanites and 59% of rural
Vietnamese using YouTube for this purpose.
Urban users also watch more video genres than
their rural counterparts in every category.
Role of platform in influencing
path of purchase
People that search on mobile tend to
follow up with a purchase, with 70% of
rural Vietnamese clicking on relevant
search ads and 45% making in-store
purchases as a result of searching online.

The psyche of rural audience: what
motivates them, what are their
daily challenges and aspirations?
A key aspiration among many rural Vietnamese
is to create a life for themselves in the major
cities or abroad. In a laborious, enterprise
driven economy, time is money. Media
fights for attention in the daily lives of rural
Vietnamese. They also have a strong sense
of national pride and family integrity, and
togetherness is very important to them.
How does the psyche dictate the
way they consume media?
What is the role of online media?
Sharing of content is low compared to other
SEA rural markets, due to a combination of
low confidence and trust. Trust is built through
popular acceptance, authority, reviews, and
credibility. Television dominates this space
currently. In terms of online content, video rules
as it carries values of transparency and trust.
How the rural audience use YouTube
and Search
43% of users who search online daily also
access YouTube daily, with entertainment
being the top search category. Mobile search
is also an important information source for
most categories, including those with high
mass appeal and high daily involvement.
Rural Audience - Ethnography Findings
‘‘SANDIP ROY, CHIEF
OPERATING OFFICER,
DENTSUX VIETNAM
“Rural Vietnamese continue to leverage the internet to communicate,
stay informed, and purchase goods online. As one of the fastest growing
consumer markets, with internet access and smartphone penetration
increasing at a rapid rate, marketers can leverage the insights from this
report to drive conversion in this market. With mobile being the primary
avenue rural Vietnamese utilise to access the internet, understanding
what motivates this demographic is vital to mobile marketing success”
13. 13mmaglobal.com The State of Mobile in Rural Vietnam Report
How does the rural audience use
and interact with different digital
platforms?
Mobile is the primary digital platform in rural
Vietnam. Television dominates trust which is built
through popular acceptance, authority, reviews,
and credibility. However, Zalo, Facebook, and
YouTube are important platforms across every
demographic. YouTube’s importance as an
alternative and complementary platform to
television is highlighted by the fact that over 65%
of Vietnamese visit YouTube first after they have
missed something on TV and 75% of Vietnamese
mothers watch content on YouTube because it is
exclusive and not available on other channels.
Three quarters of rural users listen to music
on Zing MP3 while doing other tasks on the
internet, with more than 90% of Zalo users
using it on a daily basis. Usage increases during
special seasons such as Tet and Christmas,
as users reach out to connect with family
Rural Audiences on Digital Platforms
and friends. Among Zalo official accounts,
entertainment and daily news yields the highest
interest which aligns with Search and YouTube
behaviour.
Deep dive into mobile usage
Vietnam is now a mobile-first market, with nearly
all internet users owning a smartphone and ¾
using it as their preferred connection device.
Rural users spend 40% of their average internet
time interacting with each other via chat apps.
On average, ruralVietnamese access instant
messaging apps six to seven times per day
with an average session lasting 20 minutes.
Users predominantly use their mobile devices
for communication and entertainment, with
communication being the primary need in the
rural north of the country, while social usage and
content sharing behaviour are the primary needs
in the rural south.
‘‘RALF MATTHAES,
MANAGING DIRECTOR,

“Rural mobile users are strongly represented in services, education, retail
and agriculture categories. With smartphone internet browsing, social
media, and instant messaging forming the core online activities of this
growing market segment, mobile marketers can leverage the insights of
this report to create effective, targeted advertising.”
14. 14mmaglobal.com The State of Mobile in Rural Vietnam Report
Smartphone internet browsing dominates in
rural Vietnam, demonstrated by analysing search
behaviour where these categories are the most
popular. Instant messaging apps dominate online
activity, with 38% of users utilizing online chat daily.
Zalo, Facebook, telephony, and Gmail will continue
to drive overall communications means for the
foreseeable future. FaceTime, Viber, and Instagram
are beginning to take root. However, new entrants
could make a major impact as well.

Payment via Phone Apps
Due to the lack of development of modern retail
in rural areas, a large discrepancy exists in terms
of where rural and urban mobile users shop.
The retail market for this rural demographic is
dominated by traditional trade and wet markets.
Taking these factors into account, there is an
opportunity for e-commerce and significant
room for online marketplace growth, especially in
rural areas.
15. 15mmaglobal.com The State of Mobile in Rural Vietnam Report
How rural audiences make purchases
and how mobile ads influence these
decisions
Of the Vietnamese population, 43% use a
mobile device to shop. This includes 77% who
order their goods online, preferring to have
them delivered rather than collecting the goods
themselves. However, 82% of users believe
that it’s safer to shop in the real world and 54%
stating that internet security is the primary
reason they do not shop online.
When it comes to advertising, local retailers are
preferred, and consumers are sceptical that
online purchases will match the product’s online
images. This provides an opportunity for local
retailers to adopt a multi-channel sales strategy.
Online Commerce & Mobile
Payments Landscape
Payment landscape (cash/cashless)
and any early indicators of mobile
banking/mobile wallet opportunities
According to the State Bank of Vietnam, less
than half the population have bank accounts,
with the ratio especially low in rural areas. As
mobile devices spread, and communication
infrastructure improves, e-payment is set to
become even more popular. To tap into this
growth VNG, operator of the country’s most
popular messaging app Zalo, had plans to install
terminals for its ZaloPay e-payment service at
1,000 locations by the end of 2018.
Vietnam’s e-payment pioneer, MoMo, has a
nationwide network of 4,000 agents, who
provide basic banking services such as deposits,
withdrawals, and money transfers, making the
service popular in rural areas. Migrant workers,
for example, can deposit cash into their MoMo
accounts and transfer it to other locales not
serviced by ATMs.

“With increasing connectivity in rural Vietnam, there is huge potential
for online shopping to grow. Today, local retailers are still preferred,
providing an opportunity for local retailers to adopt a multi-channel
sales strategy.”
16. 16mmaglobal.com The State of Mobile in Rural Vietnam Report
Vietnam is a mobile first market. The relevance
of online advertising plays a critical role in
conversion, and marketers need to leverage
these two factors to reach rural Vietnamese
audiences effectively.
Leveraging the aspirations of the rural
Vietnamese, marketers should tailor their
message to showcase how their products and
services can help them achieve their goals and
aspirations. Marketers should create advertising
that showcases a transformation of image,
stature, identity, body, skills, and knowledge.
They should also illustrate progress, such
as providing examples of rural Vietnamese
achieving life goals including owning a
vehicle, getting a good job, or achieving public
recognition.
As rural Vietnamese leverage the internet for
communication, entertainment, and education,
aligning their messaging with these three
categories can help marketers derive messages
that appeal to their target audience. Curating
their content so that it is organised by interests,
skills, or knowledge can help marketers achieve
these goals.
Implications: How Marketers Can Reach
Rural Vietnam Audiences Effectively
Segment your database
Geographic segmentation of your CRM is key
to ensuring that relevant messaging is reaching
the right audiences. The ability to target rural
audiences and nurture them over time, via
marketing automation platforms, will ensure
that your tailored messaging to rural audiences
is effective at every touch point.
Refine your mobile ad strategy
It’s clear that mobile needs to be a fundamental
marketing channel. A mobile strategy requires
careful consideration in order to reach target
audiences with meaningful information, which
enables rural consumers to make decisions
based on their needs and desires. This can be
achieved by using the correct tools to reach the
right audiences.
Tailor your messaging for context &
usefulness
Low relevancy of ads, such as products that
are too expensive or unavailable in their area
translates into low purchase conversion. Ads
‘‘NGUYEN ANH TUAN,
MANAGING DIRECTOR,
ADTIMA
“With over half of the Vietnam population living in rural areas, this
untapped market needs a dedicated marketing approach to unlock
its potential. With increased smartphone usage and the popularity
of e-payment solutions, the rural Vietnamese are a prime market for
growth. As smartphone penetration is at 68% in this demographic and
growing, there are unlimited opportunities for mobile advertisers to craft
relevant ads and grow their revenues.”
17. 17mmaglobal.com The State of Mobile in Rural Vietnam Report
must feel useful, relatable, and create an
emotional connection to resonate. Brands
should consider tailoring communications for
urban and rural as two separate audiences to
increase resonance and purchase conversion.
Target your Search ads
While rural audiences are sometimes less
receptive to Search ads compared to their
urban counterparts, a substantially higher
percentage of rural users click through on
Search ads. This indicates there is merit in
tailoring Search ads specific to rural audiences.
Align digital experiences with
physical retail experiences
With a high percentage of rural audiences
researching online but preferring to buy in
physical stores, marketers need to ensure a
seamless experience between offline and online
channels. Importantly, they need to ensure that
the products and services advertised to rural
audiences are available to them in physical
stores in their local area.
Online also has a role to play in increasing
choice for rural consumers and overcoming the
lack of modern retail outlets, via a smooth and
trusted online buying experience. Products that
rural consumers are interested in are not always
available at physical stores, so online retail can
meet this need and drive demand.
Leverage video for content marketing
With 82% of rural Vietnamese using YouTube
to relax, there is a strong opportunity to reach
them with video. However, only 11% of rural
Vietnamese use YouTube for learning, which
means marketers need to strategize meaningful
and relevant ways to engage and interact with
their target audience via video content.

“The State of Mobile in Rural Vietnam 2018/2019” report aims to provide valuable
insights on mobile for rural audiences in Vietnam, specifically in terms of digital
behaviours, payment methods, and responsiveness towards online advertising,
especially on mobile.
The report draws out implications for marketers to utilize for their upcoming
marketing campaigns in 2019. With Vietnam being a mobile first market, the
relevance of online advertising plays a critical role in engaging rural Vietnamese
prospects, and marketers need to leverage this effectively in order to reach these
