Valuable practical information helps businesses find strategic solutions to change, overcome the consequences of the last Covid-19 pandemic and breakthrough and sustainable growth for businesses in the online environment.

Vecom's report also shows that, in relation to online retailing, the volume of postal mail via delivery services in 2020 increased by 47%. Top delivery businesses have postage growth of 30% to 60%. However, the growth rate of revenue from the service is lower than the rate of increase in output. The proportion of postal services of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City accounts for about 60% of the total postal mail in the country.
Session 3: Conversion for Growth
In addition, the business activities of e-wallets also grew strongly. However, according to VECOM estimates, the rate of cash payment (COD) for retail purchases of goods online remains high, about 80%.
Regarding e-commerce index (EBI) ranking among localities, Ho Chi Minh City continues to lead the EBI 2021 ranking with 67.6 points. The second place is Hanoi with 55.7 points. However, the average score of this year's index is 8.5 points, reflecting the huge gap between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City with 61 other provinces. Overview of the period 2016 - 2020, the EBI gap between Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and the rest of the localities is virtually unchanged. This fact demonstrates that many localities have not yet exploited the opportunities offered by e-commerce, and e-commerce businesses are slow to expand their business and grow sustainably.
"Businesses have been more active, adaptable and interested in online business. The rapidly growing online consumer community brings growth to many industries such as: retail goods, ride-calling, food delivery, online payment, online marketing and training", VECOM assessed.
