Vietnam’s export value reached $215.6 billion in early June 2026, with high‑tech goods making up just over half. Luxshare‑ICT reported a $709 million quarterly profit. The Digital E‑Commerce Law No 122/2025, in force from 1 July 2026, now requires all online sellers and livestream hosts to verify their identities through the national e‑ID system, obliges platforms to store transaction data, monitor livestream activity and remove illegal content within 24 hours. liability has been extended to influencers; recent prosecutions handed two‑year prison sentences to three livestream personalities for deceptive sales of Kera candy.

On 24 July, Ho Chi Minh City officials convened to accelerate the law’s rollout, emphasizing platform transparency, disclosure of product‑ranking criteria and a VNĐ20 billion security deposit for major cross‑border platforms. From 1 January 2027, all sellers and livestream hosts on intermediary platforms must complete electronic KYC. The city’s e‑commerce market, valued at about $12 billion within a $40 billion national sector, grew over 30 % in 2025 and is expected to keep expanding.

A Ministry of Industry and Trade list released on 17 July confirmed nine major e‑commerce platforms with at least 3 million active users. J&T Express highlighted rapid e‑logistics expansion, driven by rural e‑commerce growth and a surge of individual sellers, prompting investment in data‑driven technology, automation and a more distributed delivery network.

Retailers are scaling omnichannel sales through marketing, livestreams and online marketplaces. To sustain growth and meet flash‑sale demand, firms are upgrading logistics and inventory systems for real‑time, synchronized stock data across websites, social networks and platforms, reducing mismatches and order delays. Coordinated warehouse processes and integrated data management are being deployed to maintain customer satisfaction and support continued multi‑channel sales.
