Vietnam’s household equipment and appliances consumer price index rose 1.69 percent year-on-year in September 2025, slightly easing from 1.73 percent in August, according preliminary data from Vietnam’s National Statistics Office.
The category has remained stable throughout the year, fluctuating narrowly between 1.45 and 1.73 percent, reflecting steady demand and moderate cost pressures.
The NSO notes that of its sub-sectors, electric irons saw the largest increase at 1.48 percent, followed by gas stoves up 0.39 percent, and glass, ceramic, and porcelain products up 0.25 percent.
Household services increased 0.22 percent, while soap and detergents were up 0.21 percent.
Prices for wall clocks, mirrors, furniture, and other household goods also rose modestly.
In contrast, several electronic and refrigeration products declined as retailers continued promotional discounts to boost sales.
Electric kettles and thermoses fell 0.52 percent, electric fans dropped 0.26 percent, washing machines 0.24 percent, air conditioners 0.14 percent, refrigerators 0.13 percent, and vacuum cleaners 0.11 percent.
Of note, demand for household equipment and appliances in Vietnam is growing strongly, supported by rapid urbanisation and rising household incomes.
An expanding middle class and increasing preference for modern, energy-efficient, and smart appliances are driving purchases across both urban and rural areas.
E-commerce platforms and wider internet access have also made appliances more accessible, boosting nationwide sales.
The market continues to benefit from shifting consumer lifestyles and higher living standards, making household goods one of Vietnam’s most dynamic retail categories.
