Vietnam’s e-commerce market, currently the fourth largest in Southeast Asia, is likely to surpass Malaysia and Thailand to go second behind Indonesia, foreign companies and analysts say.

 

In early November, e-commerce platform Tiki said it had raised a further $258 million from foreign investors, including AIA and Mirae Asset.

 

The country’s e-commerce market is currently worth $13 billion a year, and would increase to $39 billion by 2025 when it would be in second place, a recent report by Google, Temasek and Bain & Co report titled ‘e-Economy SEA 2021,’ said.
