2. 2 © Kantar Worldpanel EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ˃ In line with moderate economic expansion, February inflation rate has rise by 7.1% over the previous year and by 1.3% compared with previous month – the lowest pace among past February months. Most of this price increase comes from food sectors due to high consumer demand during Tet. ˃ Despite the overall lagging demand, the FMCG market has surged by 15% in Urban and 9% in Rural over the last three months compared to a year ago in terms of value. Beverages, Packaged Foods and Home Care are among the most favoured sectors during this season. ˃ Street Shop is still the key shopping channel in both Urban and Rural. Modern Trade continues to keep up its high-speed expansion with a rapid two-digit growth across the country, directly impacting wet market. ˃ Instant Coffee in Urban and Biscuits in Rural enjoy great volume growth by +21% and +29% respectively thanks to both consumption uplift and buyer attraction. ˃ Tet is the peak moment of consumer spending in Vietnam. The spectacular growth in Tet consumption is mainly driven by confectionary, soft drinks and cooking additives sectors.
