The market is driven by government-led renewable energy expansion accelerating demand for battery storage solutions, the proliferation of IoT devices and smart electronics fueling primary battery consumption, and healthcare sector modernization increasing battery requirements for medical devices. Additionally, the growing adoption of portable electronics across consumer and industrial applications is expanding the Vietnam primary battery market share.

Vietnam Primary Battery Market Trends:

Government-Driven Renewable Energy Expansion Accelerating Demand for Battery Storage Solutions

Vietnam's ambitious renewable energy targets are creating substantial opportunities for battery technologies across the energy sector. The government's commitment to transforming the nation's power infrastructure is driving unprecedented investments in energy storage systems, which require reliable primary batteries for backup power, monitoring equipment, and control systems. In April 2025, Vietnam's Prime Minister approved the revised National Power Development Plan VIII, significantly raising renewable energy targets to between 46 and 73 gigawatts for solar power and 26 to 38 gigawatts for onshore wind by 2030, with energy storage capacity targets of 10 to 16 gigawatts. These ambitious goals necessitate extensive deployment of battery-powered monitoring systems, remote sensors, and backup power solutions throughout the expanding renewable energy infrastructure. The regulatory framework is encouraging private sector participation in renewable energy development, which translates to increased demand for primary batteries in remote monitoring stations, weather sensors, data loggers, and emergency backup systems deployed across solar farms, wind installations, and energy storage facilities. As Vietnam transitions toward a cleaner energy mix, the supporting infrastructure for these installations relies heavily on primary batteries to ensure continuous operation of critical monitoring and control equipment, particularly in remote locations where grid connectivity may be unreliable.

Proliferation of IoT Devices and Smart Electronics Fueling Primary Battery Consumption

The rapid expansion of Internet of Things applications and smart consumer electronics throughout Vietnam is generating substantial demand for primary batteries across multiple sectors. Vietnamese consumers and businesses are increasingly adopting connected devices that require reliable, maintenance-free power sources, positioning primary batteries as essential components in the country's digital transformation. The consumer electronics sector is also witnessing strong momentum, with Vietnamese households increasingly purchasing smartphones, tablets, wireless accessories, gaming controllers, and portable audio devices that depend on primary batteries. Industrial applications are equally significant, as manufacturing facilities deploy wireless sensors for predictive maintenance, inventory tracking systems, and environmental monitoring equipment throughout production lines. The Vietnam primary battery market growth is further supported by the expanding deployment of smart city initiatives in major urban centers like Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang, where municipalities are installing thousands of IoT-enabled devices for traffic management, public safety monitoring, and environmental quality assessment. Each of these applications requires dependable primary battery solutions that can operate reliably for extended periods without maintenance, making alkaline and lithium primary batteries the preferred choice for powering Vietnam's expanding network of connected devices.

Healthcare Sector Modernization and Medical Device Adoption Increasing Battery Requirements

Vietnam's healthcare industry is undergoing significant transformation and modernization, creating substantial demand for primary batteries as medical facilities upgrade equipment and expand portable diagnostic capabilities. The country's growing and aging population, combined with rising health consciousness and increased healthcare spending, is driving adoption of battery-powered medical devices across hospitals, clinics, and home healthcare settings. The demographic shift toward an older population is creating sustained demand for chronic disease management tools, many of which rely on primary batteries for portability and reliability. Medical facilities throughout Vietnam are investing in portable diagnostic equipment, patient monitoring devices, and emergency medical tools that require dependable primary battery solutions to ensure continuous operation during critical care situations. The rise of home healthcare and telemedicine platforms is further accelerating primary battery consumption, as patients increasingly use personal health monitoring devices including pulse oximeters, digital thermometers, portable ECG monitors, and insulin delivery systems in residential settings. Additionally, Vietnam's healthcare infrastructure expansion includes the construction and upgrading of hospitals, particularly in rural and underserved areas, where portable medical equipment powered by primary batteries becomes essential for providing quality care in locations with unreliable electrical infrastructure. The medical device sector's preference for primary batteries stems from their predictable performance characteristics, long storage life, and ability to deliver consistent power output throughout their operational lifespan, making them ideal for critical healthcare applications where device failure could have serious consequences for patient safety and treatment outcomes.
