Besides this, heightened concerns about lifestyle-related conditions are fueling the Vietnam energy bar market share.

Vietnam Energy Bar Market Trends:

Rising focus on health and wellness

The growing emphasis on health and wellness is a major catalyst for the expansion of the market in Vietnam. As Vietnamese consumers are becoming more informed about the link between diet, fitness, and long-term health, they are looking for convenient food items that offer clear benefits, such as sustained energy, higher protein, added fiber, and lower sugar content. This shift is especially pronounced among urban populations, young professionals, and fitness enthusiasts who are adopting active lifestyles and view energy bars as an efficient way to support workout recovery or replace skipped meals. Increasing concerns about obesity, diabetes, and lifestyle-related diseases are also encouraging people to read labels more closely and to prioritize products made with natural and plant-based ingredients, minimal additives, and perceived ‘clean’ formulations. According to industry reports, as of July 2024, Vietnam had around 7 Million people diagnosed with diabetes, over 55% of whom were already facing complications. Significantly, 34% of these complications were related to the cardiovascular system. Energy bar manufacturers are responding by highlighting functional claims, premium ingredients, and local flavors that resonate with Vietnamese tastes, which aids in boosting user trust and interest.

 Broadening of e-commerce portals

The rapid expansion of e-commerce portals is bolstering the Vietnam energy bar market growth by making these products far more accessible and visible to a wider range of consumers. As per the IMARC Group, the Vietnam e-commerce market size reached USD 24.9 Billion in 2024. Online platforms and direct-to-consumer (D2C) channels allow both established brands and small start-ups to reach customers beyond major urban centers without the high costs of traditional retail distribution. This convenience aligns perfectly with the target audience of busy professionals, students, and fitness enthusiasts who increasingly prefer the ease of ordering health products online and having them delivered quickly. E-commerce sites also enable richer product storytelling, detailed ingredient transparency, and promotional campaigns, such as discounts, subscription boxes, and influencer marketing, which can educate people and build brand loyalty.

Increasing participation in informal work

Rising participation in informal work in Vietnam, such as gig economy jobs, street vending, freelance services, and app-based delivery, is creating a large segment of workers with irregular hours, unpredictable income, and limited time for traditional meals. As reported by the General Statistics Office, Vietnam had approximately 33 Million freelance workers by 2024, which represented over 65% of the total labor force of 52 Million. This shift in the labor landscape is catalyzing the demand for convenient, affordable, and portable nutrition solutions like energy bars. These workers often spend long hours on the move and need quick, shelf-stable snacks that provide sustained energy without requiring preparation. Energy bars meet this need by offering a compact, balanced option that can be eaten between tasks or during short breaks.
