launched various new products with different ingredients and functions to gain the attention of
Vietnamese consumers. For example, the company recently launched a new hair care collection
called Love Beauty and Planet which is made from natural ingredients and promoted for a
sustainable lifestyle, receiving much more attention from Vietnamese consumers
International players continues to dominate sales due to their wide distribution networks,
strong financial strength and dynamic marketing activities. Since Vietnam signed various FTAs
with developed countries like South Korea, Japan and Australia over the review period, the
market is predicted to be more competitive due to the appearance of new international players.
Among those countries, players from South Korea are predicted to penetrate the market
particularly strongly due to the popularity of K-pop culture.
Local players continue to account for a small share of overall hair care value sales due to
limited financial capacity. In order to compete with foreign brands, most local companies have
started to focus on developing natural and organic products. For example, Thorakao Vietnam
has been very successful with its grapefruit brand in the last two years, generating strong
interest among Vietnamese consumers.
COVID-19 impact
Hair care is now expected to post an increase of 2% in 2020 in 2019 constant value terms in
light of the impact of COVID-19. Although social distancing was only applied in April 2020, most
people and some businesses started to work from home by the end of February 2020.
Consequently, demand for hair care has been negatively impacted in 2020. The pandemic and
ensuing lockdown over mid-March to mid-May 2020 resulted in consumers spending more time
at home, encouraging many to take a more relaxed approach to hair care regimes. Many
consumers have become less concerned over the impact of urban pollution on their hair and
scalp health due to spending more time indoors. Given a sharp rise in economic uncertainty as
a result of the pandemic, many people are opting to cut back on spending where possible. While
there was a degree of stockpiling at the start of the pandemic, this will be insufficient to support
sales growth for the year overall.
Most product areas across hair care are expected to be negatively impacted in volume and
value terms in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 lockdown and rising economic uncertainty. An
increasing number of consumers have stripped back their hair care regimes and are making
fewer purchases as they seek to save money. More consumers are thus expected to make only
replacement purchases in hair care, rather than buying a range of products.
