With increasing urbanization and growing demand for quality food, the food processing industry is growing at rapid pace throughout the world. Vietnam is becoming a hub for food products processing as the industry has been growing at an annual rate of 20-30%. Changing consumption habits are making the processed food a big piece of cake for everyone in the country. Vietnamese now use more processed or preliminarily treated food to make meals, which is seen as a big opportunity for food processors, says a new research report “Processed Food Market in Vietnam”, by RNCOS, a leading market research firm.

We have found that the food processing industry in Vietnam is highly fragmented but it will consolidate, with further opening of the market, and will provide more growth opportunities to foreign companies. The availability of processed and packaged foods will improve as modern food-retailing businesses expand their operations to meet rising demand from more affluent consumers. In order to exploit the opportunities, many processed food producers have already started focusing on making processed food for domestic sales instead of making food for export as previously. Meanwhile, distributors are now racing to conquer the market.

Our findings also reveal that despite the fast growing domestic demand, the processed food industry in the country is still largely export-oriented and primarily dominated by seafood and agriculture food products. Seafood export is mainly dominated by shrimps but overseas demand for Tuna and Tra fish has also soared significantly in recent years. In future, we expect that Tuna and Tra fish together will account for majority of the seafood exports. In the agriculture segment, rice and coffee constitute the majority of exports.

Our report answers all the critical questions such as who are the key players, what are the opportunity area and the barriers before the industry. In addition, the research provides information of the future industry trends on the basis of past market growth, present trends and possible impact of recession on the economy.
