Vietnam’s beer industry
Vietnam’s beer industry is one of the largest in Southeast Asia, driven by a young population and strong drinking culture, and is a key subsector of Vietnam’s food and beverage industry.
The market is dominated by major brewers such as Heineken Vietnam, Saigon Beer–Alcohol–Beverage Corporation (Sabeco), Carlsberg Vietnam, and Hanoi Beer Alcohol and Beverage Joint Stock Corporation (Habeco).
