Consumer goods: Vietnam’s online premium cosmetics market to triple by 2033

Vietnam’s online premium cosmetics market is set to surge from US$265.15 million in 2024 to over US$643.86 million by 2033, driven by Gen Z consumers, tech innovation, and eco-conscious spending, according to a report from Astute Analytica 

Key points in the report include:

  • The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.02%, reaching US$643.86 million by 2033.
  • Skincare dominates the market with 67% share, led by anti-aging and climate-adapted innovations.
  • Gen Z accounts for 61% of buyers; 74% use AR and AI features before purchasing.
  • Counterfeits plague 26% of online purchases.
  • In online sales, Shopee leads with 51% market share.

Vietnam is emerging as one of Asia’s most dynamic beauty tech markets, where consumer values, climate-specific R&D, and regional infrastructure challenges shape both innovation and equity. For global brands and investors, capturing Gen Z loyalty, mastering hyperlocal campaigns, and building trust in rural logistics may define their long-term success.
