Overcoming numerous difficulties in export activities, many domestic beverage businesses have gradually moved faster and deeper into foreign markets, affirming the unique mark of Vietnamese brands.
Expand growth potential
The soft drinks industry (or non-alcoholic beverage industry) is an important part of the food and beverage industry. According to Euromonitor research, from 2015 to 2019, Vietnam’s beverage market grew 8.4% per year on average, with a scale of about USD 5.3 billion in 2019. According to data compiled by VIRAC, a research company, the revenue of Vietnam’s beverage industry in 2023 is estimated to reach USD 8.25 billion. The figure will likely reach USD 10 billion in 2027.

The macroeconomy is stable, inflation rate is expected to decrease along with the strong recovery of the tourism industry, contributing to promoting beverage consumption and opening up bright growth prospects for the industry.
Dr. Vo Tri Thanh, Director of the Institute for Brand and Competitiveness Strategy, said that Vietnam has strengths in raw material resources. Well-exploitation of this advantage will help businesses make a breakthrough. However, the beverage industry is fiercely competitive, requiring each business to invest and have perseverance and flexibility in business strategy for growth.
Assessing the potential of export market for Vietnamese beverage brands, Vo Tri Thanh said: “Vietnam’s current beverage export is still small in scale and has many difficulties in accessing the market. Businesses must meet requirements regarding product quality, and green and sustainable standards. In the long term, the group of beverage enterprises has a positive outlook because the international market has a high demand for this product. To fulfill such demand, businesses are required to promote investment in technology and human resources, and build brand trust.”
Around the world, beverage production attracts investment from many big brands with fierce competition. In Vietnam, domestic companies in the beverage industry still have limitations in technology and techniques compared to those in developed countries. Therefore, when approaching foreign markets, especially demanding markets that require high technical standards such as the US, EU, and Japan… many businesses face difficulties.

The increasing demand for beverage products in the world opens up opportunities for Vietnamese businesses to increase their growth potential if they know how to exploit and access export markets. However, according to experts, to assert their position in the global market, Vietnamese businesses need to focus on investing in production technology to ensure product quality while maximizing their local competitive advantage such as raw material and human resources.
At a recent international fair held in Mexico, representatives of the organizing committee said that Mexican people in particular, and Latin American people in general have an increasing interest in foods and drinks of all-natural origin because they are not only good for health but also help to reduce the increasing overweight problem in these countries.
The beverage industry has been growing continuously, showing outstanding future potential and positive prospects for businesses.
