Vietnam sun care market to expand to US$382.8 million by 2035
Report Ocean's research findings forecast that the Vietnam sun care market will grow significantly over the next ten years. The company points out that this growth stems from a rising number of consumers, particularly among younger people, who make skin care a daily habit, and from growing interest in high-performance sun care products.
For cosmetics makers, retailers and raw material suppliers, this market expansion may create new business opportunities.
Lifestyle changes and demand for high-performance products
In Vietnam, rising temperatures and a strong UV environment, together with growing interest in skin brightening and anti-aging care, are turning sun care products from seasonal items into year-round necessities. The middle-income class is expanding, mainly in urban areas, and willingness to spend on high-quality skin care products is also rising.
In the market, development of value-added products is being strengthened, with features such as formulas for sensitive skin, naturally derived ingredients, water resistance and high SPF and PA ratings. The diversification of sales channels, including drugstores, specialty stores and e-commerce platforms, is also a factor supporting market expansion.
AI use and digital marketing will shape competitiveness
In the Vietnam sun care market, AI-powered skin diagnosis services and personalized product recommendations are drawing attention. Digital services that analyze skin condition online and suggest suitable UV care products are also said to contribute to improving brand loyalty.
Sales promotion using social media, live commerce and influencer marketing is also an important factor in market expansion. By strengthening demand forecasting and customer behavior analysis based on data analytics, companies aim to make everything from product development to sales more efficient and to improve their competitiveness in the market.
Diversification of product categories and distribution channels
In the market, the range of products by use, such as creams, lotions, gels, sprays and sticks, is expanding. Companies are also responding to increasingly segmented needs, such as products for children, men, and sports and outdoor use.
With the growth of online sales, the inflow of overseas brands and awareness of D2C brands are also increasing. Price ranges extend widely from premium to the mass market, creating an environment in which companies can easily build product strategies for each target group.
Opportunities for Japanese companies entering the Vietnam market
In Japan, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare support efforts to strengthen the international competitiveness of the cosmetics industry and to promote exports, and safety evaluation and quality control systems are becoming more advanced. When Japanese companies expand into ASEAN markets, they are required to comply with the quality, labeling and ingredient management rules under the ASEAN Cosmetic Directive.
Companies that handle this regulatory compliance appropriately are expected to be able to build brand credibility in the Vietnam market and expand their business. For Japanese companies, the possibility of market entry that draws on their strengths in high-quality, high-performance products is widening.
Competitive risks and strategies that come with market expansion
While high growth is expected, intensifying price competition, competition from overseas brands, fluctuations in raw material prices and compliance with quality regulations will become important management issues for companies. Report Ocean also analyzes that countermeasures against counterfeits, securing a stable supply chain and switching to environmentally friendly materials will affect medium- to long-term competitiveness.
It is said that, for successful companies, it is important to differentiate themselves through continued investment in research and development, raising brand value, strengthening digital sales channels and developing products that match local market needs.
