Vietnam Mid-Autumn Festival retail and market activity

Overview

Vietnam has seen a significant surge in retail demand and consumer activity driven by the National Day holiday and the Mid-Autumn Festival. Retailers have increased supply to meet this demand, with some fresh food production rising between 130% and 200%. On e-commerce platforms, mooncake orders have doubled compared to the previous year.

In response to this seasonal spike, authorities have intensified efforts to combat the sale of counterfeit and untraceable goods. In Hanoi, market surveillance officials have seized thousands of mooncake products, candies, and toys of unknown origin. Specific enforcement actions have resulted in fines for businesses selling unlabeled or uncertified products. Additionally, authorities in Lai Chau have launched educational initiatives to teach consumers how to identify fraudulent goods by examining packaging, labeling, and physical characteristics.
