Analyst Opinion

Vietnam, a country located in Southeast Asia, has experienced significant economic growth in recent years. With a population of over 97 million people, the country has become an attractive market for various industries, including pharmaceuticals.

Customer preferences:
In Vietnam, customers tend to prioritize affordable and accessible healthcare options. As a result, generic drugs have become increasingly popular, accounting for a significant portion of the pharmaceutical market. Additionally, there is a growing demand for over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, particularly for common ailments such as headaches and colds.

Trends in the market:
The Vietnamese pharmaceutical market has shown steady growth in recent years, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 10%. This growth is expected to continue as the population ages and the prevalence of chronic diseases increases. Additionally, the government has implemented policies to encourage domestic production of pharmaceuticals, which has led to increased investment in the industry.

Local special circumstances:
One unique aspect of the Vietnamese pharmaceutical market is the prevalence of traditional medicine. Many Vietnamese consumers still prefer traditional remedies, such as herbal medicines, over Western pharmaceuticals. This has led to a growing market for traditional medicine in Vietnam, which is expected to continue in the future.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
Vietnam's economic growth and increasing middle class have contributed to the growth of the pharmaceutical market. As the population becomes more affluent, they are able to afford better healthcare options, including pharmaceuticals. Additionally, the government has made efforts to improve healthcare infrastructure and increase access to healthcare services, which has also contributed to the growth of the pharmaceutical market.
