Vietnamese coffee market expansion

Overview

Vietnamese coffee brands and producers have experienced significant market growth and expansion. Initially, the G7 instant coffee brand established a strong foothold in China, becoming a top-selling brand on e-commerce platforms due to its affordability and convenience. This success was further supported by the opening of physical flagship stores in Shanghai.

By mid-2026, Vietnamese coffee exports to China surged, with the market share nearly doubling compared to the previous year. This growth in China occurred alongside a strategic expansion into the United States, where companies like Trung Nguyên Legend have been opening franchise locations in Texas to introduce Vietnamese Robusta coffee and its culture to American consumers.
