Speaking at the opening ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Hung said that in the context of the global economic decline due to the negative impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, Vietnam's economy still has a certain level of growth. In the post-epidemic period, Vietnam's economic picture has added bright colors, many signals that Vietnam's economic growth still has a growth balance of 1.8 - 2.9% in 2020.
Commenting on the trend of online shopping, Ms. Le Minh Trang, Senior Manager of The Northern Region of Nielsen Vietnam said that during the outbreak, Vietnamese consumers still closely monitor the epidemic situation, quickly change their consumption habits, to protect themselves and the community.
"If you observe the growth index of the fast-food industry (PMCG) from 2013 to now, there is a certain increase and decrease. However, in 2020 this index fell the deepest due to the effects of the epidemic. Up to 45% of consumers stock up on food at home more; 50% of consumers reduce the frequency of visiting supermarkets, grocery stores and markets; but up to 25% of consumers increased online shopping activities and 25% of consumers reduced their eating activities outside", Ms. Trang cited.
The consumer confidence index in 2020, according to Nielsen, has also seen a change, as the level of spending and spending on more savings increases in the second quarter of 2020. "The demand for fashion shopping, the demand for tourism of consumers decreased markedly, so retailers need to pay attention to this psychology of customers, when marketing online shopping for personal care products. Especially during the epidemic, consumers tend to buy health care products and prevent epidemics", Ms. Trang recommends.
