About This Report (1)Introduction

• “Brand Asia Vietnam 2014” report is conducted in Vietnam by B&Company Vietnam serving two main objectives:

o Compares overall strength of industries between Developed Group (Group A) and Developing Group (Group B)

and between Vietnam and Group B.

o Evaluates brand strength of 70 brands categorized in 11 industries in Vietnam, including: 1) IT/Electronic, 2) Drink,

3) Telecommunications (Telecom), 4) Internet-related, 5) Sporting, 6) Automaker, 7) Food, 8) FMCG, 9) Restaurant,

10) Finance and 11) Clothing.

• Although “Brand Asia 2014” project covers much information about brands in countries, this report is to discuss main

parts that provide significant meaning to readers. It includes brand over score, brand awareness, brand characteristics

and media sources. Global and local brands are selected based on their outstandingness within 12 researched

countries and Vietnam; therefore there are some differences in number of brands among industries and B&Company

analysis also bases on this fact.

• Not all brands and industries are discussed; for industries having more than 10 brands, only top 10 highest overall

score brands are considered. Loyalty analysis only facilitates “Satisfied when use” (Satisfied) and “Fan” ratios.

• Due to limitation of page, chart scales or font sizes may not be wholly consistent among all pages as we made some

adjustments to fit them to the page.

Industry analysis

Different economic background is the main reason behind industries’ different performances between country groups

Introduction

Globalization wave in the recent century has encouraged organizations to expand their business operation

internationally whereby Asia region is not an exception. Equipped with strong capitals and historical experience, many

of them have dominated and become critical part of industries various Asia countries. Due to highly young population

and rising economic situation, Asia has been considered potential emerging market that lays significant opportunities

for multinational companies to explore, thus forming a dynamic market. Within this region, Vietnam is regcognized an

emerged market attracting significant concerns from foreign investors especally Japan. The country government has

taken steps to encourage investment flows from in the past 8 years since WTO assessment.

Mostly originating from developed regions, global brands have been widely familiar with people in developed countries

whereas some of them are new comers to several markets. In addition, differences in economic backgrounds, market

situations, customer behaviors or national culture are primary reasons explaining why industries, despite inclusion to

same global brands, perform differently.

Result Summary (2)

Despite minor difference in overall score, industry awareness in Vietnam is quite far behind the Group B

• Between Vietnam and Group B (exlcude Vietnam):

o Although there are some differences between global brands’ overall scores in Vietnam and Group B, the gap is not

so large. Internet related industry is one of strongest industry in Vietnam and Group B countries. Rapid increase in

the Internet usage growth rate enable Vietnam’s Internet related industry perform quite better to Group B’s

average, resulted from increasing consumption and demands .

o Brand awareness ratios of global brands in Vietnam are much lower than Group B especially Finance, Clothing and

Diversified industries. The reason could be understood that products of global brands often have quite high prices

thus still unfamiliar to most Vietnamese people. In addition, most countries in Group B have better economic

situation than Vietnam’s, which enable brands intensify their marketing affords.

o Except for FMCG, Food/Drink and Automaker, the other brands have not shown much difference in “Loyalty" ratios

between the two country groups .

In general local brands in Vietnam are under great competition pressure from foreign giant players

• An accession to WTO since 2006 has significantly encouraged foreign brands to enter Vietnam market from various

industries. Apart from long historical brands such as HONDA, Unilever, Sony, Coca-Cola etc, there are number of

new entry brands namely Unicharm or STARBUCKS COFFEE etc, which turn the market more diverse and

competitive. Supported by abundant financial resources as well a long historical global experiences, international

brands have strong advantages in creating leading positions whereas, there have been noticeable effort of local

enterprises in gaining back market share and maintain sustainable growth among fierce competition environment.

These are main reasons behind turbulent changes of brands year by tear in term of overall score, industry ranking,

brand awareness and loyalty ratio.

• While IT/Electronic, Drink or Telecom industries achieve high strength improvement, Restaurant, Finance or

Clothing industries are showing low trend when large number of brands lose score and ranking. Microsoft is seen an

oustdanting example in IT/Electronic industry when it has increased by 35 ranking levels. Vinamilk, despite score

loss, is still leading drink company in Vietnam and one of rare local brands locating in the country brand top ranking

list.

IT/Electronic industry is highly competitive and currently dominated by long present global brands

IT/Electronic industry which is currently dominated by foreign brands especially long historical brands of mature

categories in home appliances such as SONY, TOSHIBA, LG or Panasonic. With reputations of high durability and

convenience, products of most Japan brands like Toshiba or Panasonic have created lots of trusts and favors among

Vietnamese customers. However, brands from other country of origins like Korea or the U.S are also confirming their

footholds in the more increasingly competitive market. Some niche names enjoy rising perception of consumers as

living standards improved (e.g. Canon); yet Phillips brand image is still low. New launches and promotional activities by

manufacturers and retailers help to increase demand for products of SAMSUNG, Apple or Microsoft across the

consumer appliances market.
