BMI Industry View

BMI View: Despite slower than expected economic recovery in 2013, our outlook for Vietnam's economy in2014 is positive. Recently released macroeconomic data shows a strong rebound in domestic consumption,

which is felt across a wide spectrum of consumer industries. The consumer is expected to benefit from risinginflow of remittances and suppressed levels of inflation over the coming quarters. While we havemaintained our 2014 GDP growth forecast at 6.0%, we see potential for upside surprises. Food and drinkconsumption within the country will grow at a thoroughly impressive based, delivering double-digit annual

growth through to our forecast period.

Headline Industry Data

2014 total food consumption (local currency) growth: +19.2%; compound annual growth rate (CAGR)2014 to 2018: +15.5%.

2014 per capita food consumption (local currency) growth: +18.1%; CAGR to 2018: +14.7%. 2014 alcoholic drinks value (local currency) sales growth: +12.0%; CAGR to 2018: +8.7%. 2014 soft drinks value (local currency) sales growth: +10.5%; CAGR to 2018: +7.5%. 2014 MGR sales (local currency) growth: +13.3%; compound annual growth rate (CAGR) 2014 to 2018:

+9.9%.

Key Industry Trends

McDonald's Opens First Ho Chi Minh Restaurant In February: US fast-food restaurant McDonald's, with

its partner Vietnam-based company Good Day Hospitality, has forayed into the Vietnamese food market in

a bid to compete with its rivals, such as KFC and Burger King Worldwide. The company launched its first

outlet in the Vietnamese city of Ho Chi Minh on February 8 2014.

Sabeco Begins Construction On New Brewery: Vietnam-based brewer Saigon Beer Alcohol And Beverage

Corporation (Sabeco) has started construction on a new brewery in Vietnam's Ninh Thuan region. The US$21mn facility will have an estimated annual capacity of 50mn litres of beer. The brewery will cover anarea of 20 hectares and is expected to address the rising demand for Sabeco products in the south-central

region. The brewery is scheduled to become operational in the next 12 months.

Vinamilk Opens US$110mn Milk Plant And Invests In Cambodia: Vietnam-based dairy group VietnamDairy Products Joint Stock Company (Vinamilk) has opened a new dairy plant in Vietnam's Binh Duongprovince, investing US$110mn. The plant will cover an area of 20 hectares and have an annual capacity of



400mn litres of milk in the first stage. The plant will help the company to achieve its goals of raising its

annual revenue to US$3bn by 2017 and becoming one of the 50 largest dairy companies in the world,according to Vinamilk's CEO, Mai Kieu Lien.

The company has also gained an overseas investment certificate from the Vietnamese government to build a

milk factory in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh with an investment of US$23mn. The company willown a 51% stake in the unit, while Cambodia-based Angkor Dairy Products will hold the remaining 49%

share.

Key Risks To Outlook

While we expect private consumption to grow at a relatively resilient pace of 5.0% in 2014, we note that the

risk of further bankruptcies among SMEs could potentially lead to widespread job losses, especially inexport-driven sectors. Uncertainties over the outlook for employment could, in turn, prompt households to

cut back on spending.



SWOT

Food

SWOT Analysis

Strengths The food processing sector accounts for a sizeable proportion of industrial output and

GDP, with the sector attracting significant foreign investment in recent years from

global industry majors such as Unilever, Nestl and San Miguel.

Vietnamese consumers, particularly the young and affluent, are fairly brand aware by

regional standards. Accordingly, renowned Western products, backed by investment

in marketing and promotions, tend to have highly successful launches.

The wealthy urban centres of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City now provide highly

receptive consumer audiences.

Large and diverse domestic agricultural output aids the stability of ingredient supplies

and prices for local producers - a vital strength during this period of global volatility.

Strong economic and private consumption growth will help fuel food consumption

growth.

Weaknesses There are wide income disparities between urban and rural areas, and local

consumption patterns vary significantly according to income.

The food processing industry remains largely fragmented, except for a few key

sectors such as dairy and confectionery.

The country's agricultural sector has been criticised for being too slow to adapt to

new technologies to be globally competitive in the long term, although the

government is working hard to address this.

Vietnam's infrastructure is still weak. Roads, railways and ports are inadequate to

cope with the country's economic growth and links with the outside world.

The lack of white goods among large sections of the consumer base slows down the

development of the high-potential dairy sector.



SWOT Analysis - Continued

Opportunities Accession to the WTO, in January 2007, will continue to benefit Vietnamese

exporters, with the gradual removal of market barriers and trade restrictions set to

increase competition.

Vietnam's upcoming ASEAN AEC membership in 2015 should provide greater access

to both foreign markets and capital, while making Vietnamese enterprises stronger

through increased competition.

Rising income levels and changing lifestyles, particularly in urban areas, are

increasing consumer demand for snacks, convenience and luxury food items.

Vietnam's large domestic market, growing export opportunities and low labour costs,

as well as the prospect of acquiring newly privatised food companies, offer further

investment opportunities.

The country's agricultural sector is in need of significant investment, and willing

investors can expect assisted entry.

A growing tourism sector fuels interest in convenience categories.

Threats Vietnam's WTO membership may result in smaller companies who are unable to cope

with the increased competition being forced out of business.

Elevated agricultural commodity costs will remain a risk for the profitability of

processed-food manufacturers; farmers themselves also view this as a threat.

Rising unemployment levels are taking their toll on consumer confidence.

If there is a prolonged slowdown in emerging markets, this will hurt Vietnam's

economy both directly and indirectly.



Drink

SWOT Analysis

Strengths Vietnamese consumers, particularly the young and affluent, are fiarly brand aware by

regional standards. Accordingly, renowned Western products, backed by investment

in marketing and promotions, tend to have highly successful launches.

The wealthy urban centres of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City now provide highly

receptive consumer audiences.

Alcoholic drinks are widely consumed and have gained popularity in recent years.

Vietnam has been one of the fastest growing economies in Asia in recent years, with

GDP growth averaging 7.1% annually between 2000 and 2011.

Competitive pressure is quickly intensifying in the drinks sectors, which is likely to

drive greater sector dynamism and fuel growth.

Weaknesses There are wide income disparities between urban and rural areas, and local

consumption patterns vary significantly according to income.

The drinks industry remains largely fragmented, except for a few key sectors, such as

alcohol and soft drinks.

Despite the growing presence of multinationals, local firms continue to dominate the

beer market.



Establishing separate breweries in different regions is costly but remains one of the

best strategies to overcome the lack of infrastructure.

Opportunities Accession to the WTO, in January 2007, will benefit Vietnamese exporters, with the

gradual removal of market barriers and trade restrictions set to increase competition.




Vietnam's upcoming ASEAN AEC membership in 2015 should provide greater access

to both foreign markets and capital, while making Vietnamese enterprises stronger

through increased competition.

Vietnam's large domestic market, growing export opportunities and low labour costs,

as well as the prospect of acquiring newly privatised drink companies, offer further

investment opportunities.

A growing tourism sector is fuelling interest in convenience categories, in addition to

sub-sectors such as soft and alcoholic drinks.

In line with consumers' rising disposable incomes, there are opportunities for

premium-branded products in the soft and alcoholic drinks sub-sectors.

The global trend towards health consciousness provides an opportunity for drinks

manufacturers to diversify into perceived healthier options.

Threats Vietnam's WTO membership may result in smaller companies who are unable to cope

with the increased competition being forced out of business.



economy both directly and indirectly



Mass Grocery Retail

SWOT Analysis

Strengths The potential size of the mass grocery retail market makes it an attractive target for

foreign retailers once improved market terms are granted. Further growth is expected,

especially in the supermarket format.

Hypermarkets, supermarkets and convenience stores have all proved popular in

Vietnam, catering for different types of consumers and different shopping occasions.

A growing multinational presence in the retail sector has aided the acceptance of

modern retail best practices in Vietnam, particularly things such as added-value in-

store services.

Vietnamese economic growth averaged 7.1% annually between 2000 and 2012,

fuelling a steady middle-class emergence and growing consumerism. The economic

boom has lifted many Vietnamese out of poverty, generating a greater demand for the

higher-value modern retail concepts.

The formation of buying groups has proved an effective means of facilitating quicker

expansion among smaller industry players.

Weaknesses Vietnam's retail distribution networks remain underdeveloped, and expansion-

oriented firms must invest in infrastructural development as well as new store

openings.

Regulations governing international participation in modern retail in Vietnam have

resulted in slow rates of expansion, and aspects of government policy continue to

make life challenging for foreign firms in spite of WTO accession.

Poverty levels among the country's vast rural population hugely inhibit the potential

audience size for modern retail in Vietnam.






Opportunities The hypermarket concept is still in its infancy and, as familiarity with modern retailing

grows, this format will represent an immense growth opportunity.

Modern retail is currently focused on the major urban centres of the north and south,

which still boast space for new entrants. Central Vietnam and the provinces provide

further opportunities still.

Modern retail concepts, such as discounting and private labelling, are likely to prove

popular with price-conscious Vietnamese consumers as familiarity with modern

retailing builds.

Rapid urbanisation and the development of new housing complexes provide ideal

locations for modern retail outlets.

Threats Were industry majors Tesco, Carrefour and Walmart all to enter Vietnam, the window

of opportunity for other entrants would rapidly close.

Rising operating costs will threaten retailer profit margins; price increases have to

date been passed on to shoppers, but this cannot continue indefinitely in the price-

conscious market.

Industry Forecast

Consumer Outlook

Although we expect the Vietnamese economy to have recorded yet another quarter of sub-par growth in

Q413, we are beginning to see potential for upside surprises to domestic demand over the coming quarters.Recent data on foreign direct investment inflows, remittances, passenger car sales, and property market

launches, suggests that domestic demand is on a nascent recovery, setting the stage for stronger 2014

growth. We expect private consumption to grow at a relatively resilient pace of 5.0% in 2014. However, we

note that the risk of further bankruptcies among SMEs could potentially lead to widespread job losses anduncertainties in the employment outlook could prompt households to cut back on spending.

We continue to see evidence that foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows into the country have remainedresilient despite the lack of progress on banking reforms and the weak economic data. According to figures

published by the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI), FDI inflows into Vietnam grew by 19.5%year-on-year (y-o-y) over the first eight months of 2013. The results are in line with our view that Vietnam'slong-term prospects remain bright.



Robust Remittances Could Also Boost Domestic Demand

Vietnam's growth story over the past decade has been marked by tumultuous periods of high inflation,

multiple currency devaluations and widespread economic wastage as a result of inefficient state-owned

enterprises that continue to have a dominating presence in key economic sectors. From our perspective,

however, we believe that 2013 marked a major turning point for the economy. While structural factorsunderpinning Vietnam's potential for long-term growth (including favourable demographics, proximity toChina, and the low cost of labour relative to the region) remain largely unchanged, we highlight recentdevelopments that reinforce our bullish outlook on the economy over the next decade.

Certainly, the long-term potential of the consumer-facing sectors in Vietnam is undeniable. Rapid economic

growth in Vietnam over the coming years is likely to translate into higher income, in turn benefiting

consumerism. Most exciting is the country's favourable demographic profile: 51.9% of the population is

estimated to be younger than 30. This implies potentially dynamic opportunities for consumer goods players

targeting the mass-market segment in particular. Rapid urbanisation provides additional opportunities for

modern retail outlets.

What Vietnam offers investors is arguably one of the most attractive consumer bases in South East Asia

after India. With a youthful population of 90mn, and GDP growth forecast at 6.0% in 2014, the country

provides attractive demographic potential for retailers keen to capture the vast consumer base. A flurry of

international investment interest in the country over recent years has given continued focus on the merits of

the unravelling consumer story in Vietnam, particularly in its mass grocery retail sector. The latest

multinational reported to be entering the market is French retailer Auchan which, according to local

sources, is set to inject US$500mn in the next decade. This highlights the attractive long-term potential of acountry that has been largely devoid of international investment in the grocery sector. Overall, we believe

that Vietnam remains one the most exciting mass grocery retail Asian growth stories. With the potential to

outperform regionally in the coming years, the country continues to gradually prove its growing reputation

as Asia's 'little India'.

Improvements in Vietnam's macroeconomic fundamentals suggest that its food sector will remain one of the

most attractive investment opportunities in the region over the forecast period. Between 2014 and 2018 food

consumption is projected to expand at a thoroughly impressive compound annual growth rate of 15.5%,posting an impressive 105.1% overall increase in local currency terms. An attractive demographic profile,

rapid urbanisation and rapid expansion of country's mass grocery retail sector will fuel this growth over the

longer term.

Currently, income levels in Vietnam are a long way behind those enjoyed in developed economies, andconsumer purchases remain largely centred on food staples and daily necessities. However, as incomes start

to accelerate off a low base on the back of sturdy economic growth, consumer tastes and preferences are

expected to calibrate towards the higher-value food and beverage segments, which will be very likely to

guarantee a receptive and growing audience for branded food and beverage products in the medium term.

The massive potential provided by the burgeoning middle class in Vietnam is already attracting the sights of

major consumer-facing players in the country. Private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts &



Co (KKR), in early 2011, acquired a 10% stake in Masan Consumer, the largest producer of condimentsincluding fish, soy and chilli sauce and the second biggest producer of instant noodles in Vietnam. This

underlines its confidence in the opportunities available in the mass-market segment. In early 2013, KKR

doubled its investment in Masan.

In particular, we expect functional food products to garner stronger appeal among Vietnamese consumers

over the coming years. Given the nutritional health benefits of functional foods, these products have

witnessed strong demand in Vietnam over the past few years in line with a growing shift towards health

awareness. In 2000, the functional food market comprised only a dozen imported functional food products.

By 2005-2006, domestically produced functional foods accounted for 33% of the entire food market, and in

2008 this figure had doubled, underlining the burgeoning demand for functional food products.

The ongoing expansion of the mass grocery retail industry will also drive up per capita food consumption

levels, provided goods sold through such outlets remain competitively priced. Ultimately, food consumption

growth will be driven by the government's ability to harness rural spending power and by modern retailers'

Canned Food

2014 canned food value sales (local currency) growth: +10.7%; CAGR to 2018: +7.4%.

Canned food sales are forecast to experience strong growth in Vietnam, in line with increasing urbanisation

and growing affluence among consumers. Between 2014 and 2018 we forecast volume growth of 23.4%,

and value growth of 42.8%. Indeed, demand for higher-value products such as canned foods is expected to

pick up on the back of rising disposable incomes.

Vietnamese consumers are experiencing a growing awareness of hygiene concerns and food origin as their

living standards improve and as numerous health scares lead to increased caution. This will further

encourage consumers to purchase processed foods over fresh produce, and strong investment in this sector

from both domestic and international operators will be very likely to help to fuel sales growth. Meanwhile,

city workers are increasingly cutting back on restaurant meals and opting for canned and processed foods in

order to save money, with major retailers such as Saigon Co-op reporting a recent spike in sales.

The longer-term outlook for the Vietnamese confectionery market is positive. Factors such as rising

purchasing power, favourable demographics, growing health awareness and continued investments in the

sector will support confectionery demand, especially with regard to chocolate.

Rising Disposable Incomes: Rapid wealth accrual is likely to translate into a greater discretionaryappetite for premium confectionery products. As an increasing number of domestic confectioners expandtheir upmarket product ranges, this is likely to bolster value sales growth over the coming years.

A Massive Youthful Population: 51.9% of the Vietnamese population is estimated to be younger than30, and the maturation of this demographic group means that there are dynamic opportunities in the massmarket. Moreover, this demographic group is generally more receptive to Western cultures, which willgive an impetus to confectionery demand.

Growing Health Awareness: Health awareness is prompting shifts of consumption habits towardsfunctional and healthy confectionery products. Capitalising on the growing trend, domestic confectioners



such as Tan Tan Food & Foodstuff and Vina Mit are expanding their functional product offerings.These products typically carry higher price tags, and their rising demand is likely to translate into highervalue sales in the sector.

Continued Sector Investments: Sustained competition levels in the Vietnamese confectionery sectorensure that dynamism in the market is unlikely to cool off any time soon. Nabati Indonesia, a leadingIndonesian biscuit producer, recently announced plans to start distributing its biscuit products in Vietnam- a testament to the attractiveness of the sector. Meanwhile, domestic confectioners such as Kinh Do areexpected to continue to invest in broadening their product ranges and expanding their distributionchannels.

Pasta

The Vietnamese pasta market is underdeveloped, although the product has become more recognisable in

view of Westernisation of lifestyles, particularly in urban areas. Around half of the retail market is

dominated by Barilla, with other prominent importers including Italpasta and Pasta Zara.

However, the market for instant noodles is well established, with the market supplied by a mixture of

locally made (by companies such as Masan Consumer and Acecook Vietnam JSC) and imported products.Goods are receiving strong marketing and advertising support, especially as the more challenging economic

times have prioritised non-discretionary spending. Instant noodles are expected to remain very popular, on

account of their affordability, versatility as a cooking ingredient, wide-ranging availability and convenience.

Dairy

The Vietnamese dairy sector has experienced very strong growth in recent years. Key drivers of this growth

have been increasing urbanisation and rising incomes, supported by a shift in consumer eating habits. Huge

multinational companies have, in particular, managed to sway consumer preferences with their considerable

advertising and promotional power. At the same time, the government is pouring investment in to the dairy

industry, with a view to producing 3.4bn litres of fresh milk by 2025, which would generate export revenues

of some US$200mn.

The local demand for dairy products is met by a combination of locally produced goods, which accounts for

20% of consumption, according to the US Department of Agriculture, and imports from countries including

New Zealand, the US and Australia. Vietnam Dairy Products Co (Vinamilk) is one of the key players inthe sector. Indeed, reflecting the promise of the Vietnamese dairy sector, Vinamilk aims to become one of

the largest 50 dairy firms in the world. The company is also expanding internationally, as Vietnam is in a

geographically strong place to take advantage of the growing Asian dairy story. Other prominent dairy

producers include Dutch Lady, Hanoimilk and Anco.

In line with improved economic prospects and increasing domestic demand we maintain a very strong

outlook for Vietnam's drinks industry. As it benefits from foreign investments and rising tourist arrivals,

beer will continue to dominate the alcoholic drinks segment, and demonstrate a compound annual growth

rate of 12% in local currency terms between 2014 and 2018.

Generally speaking, favourable demographic shifts, rising affluence, strong economic growth and a fast-

growing tourist industry imply massive scope for alcoholic drinks consumption, with beer, in particular, set



to benefit. We expect premiumisation to pick up momentum in the Vietnamese alcoholic drinks sector, and

for value sales growth to outpace that of volume sales over our forecast period to 2018. The emergence of a

thriving tourist industry in Vietnam is also likely to bolster alcoholic drinks consumption given that tourists

typically have a greater penchant for higher-value consumer products.

Beer will continue to dominate the alcoholic drinks sector, accounting for the vast majority of volume sales,and will thus also remain the main contributor to value sales. This is due to the strong interest the beer

sector has been attracting from both local and international brewers, with volume sales expected to

experience real growth of 24.9% to 2018. We also expect foreign brewers to take on a more prominent role

in driving beer sales growth in Vietnam as they seek to enter emerging markets. As foreign brewers

strengthen their competitive position, and as the local giants Habeco and Sabeco extend their presence

beyond their regional strongholds, sector dynamism will intensify rapidly.

APB's recent investment in the Vietnamese beer industry is a strong testament to the sector's potential. APB

will invest SGD90mn in expanding production at its Ho Chi Minh brewing joint venture by 50%. Thecompany will increase output at the facility, which is a 60:40 joint venture(JV) with Saigon Trading, to2.8mn hectolitres a year; it will also add a second canning facility and expand its warehouse space.

Similarly, Japanese brewer Sapporo has announced that it intends to increase its beer production in

Vietnam fivefold in the period up to 2019. The company expects to produce 200,000 kilolitres of beer in the

country by 2019, from its projected 40,000 kilolitres in 2014.

Additionally, Japanese brewer Asahi Group Holdings has announced that it intends to extend its operations

across Asia through a series of acquisitions. Asahi President Naoki Izumiya said that the company had

already identified viable targets in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.

Volume sales growth in the wine and spirits industries are also expected to be robust over our forecast

period to 2018, albeit developing from much lower bases. Both are fairly immature industries, having been

held back by an absence of multinational investment and by their relatively higher price tags. However,

prolific wealth accrual among Vietnamese consumers is fuelling shifts in consumption habits towards

higher-value alcoholic drink products, and this trend is particularly evident in the urban centres such as Ho

Chi Minh City, Hanoi and Danang.

Exposure to Western cultures is also driving the local demand for spirits and wines. The biggest consumers

of wine and spirits in Vietnam used to be Western expatriates and tourists, but local consumers are

developing a strong appetite for these products in line with their rapidly growing affluence. The spread of



organised retail in the country acts as another impetus behind spirits and wine sales, facilitating consumer

reach to a greater variety of brands in supermarkets, hypermarkets and local wine stores.

Looking ahead, investments in the Vietnamese spirits and wine sub-sectors are expected to intensify as an

increasing number of investors recognise the higher margin growth opportunities on offer in these sub-

sectors, and this is likely to instil further dynamism to drive volume sales.

Vietnam's sturdy economic growth over the next few years will continue to fuel demand for higher value

food and beverage products such as coffee. Vietnam's massive youth population, for whom visiting cafs

and drinking coffee is a growing lifestyle choice, is another major positive factor. As this group of young,aspirant consumers enters the workforce, the accordant rise in incomes will serve to further buoy the

demand for higher-value coffee products. The tea sector is also set to experience strong growth over our

five-year forecast period, buoyed by rising incomes and increasing domestic demand.

These dynamics will continue to attract the sights of multinational coffee producers, in turn imbuing the

sector with greater dynamism over our forecast period. As a case in point, Masan Consumer in 2011

acquired a 50.1% stake, valued at around VND1.07trn (US$51mn), in Vietnamese coffee producerVinacafe Bien Hoa Joint-Stock Company. By acquiring a controlling stake in Vinacafe, Masan clearly



was looking to put itself in a strong position to leverage on the exciting demand dynamics in the

Vietnamese coffee sector.

Also looking to capitalise on Vietnam's coffee potential, Nestl plans to increase its coffee sourcing fromlocal farmers in Vietnam, and in 2011 committed to a new coffee factory in the country. The US$270mnfactory was to be constructed in the south east province of Dong Nai and was to produce Nescaf-branded

products for the domestic and international markets from 2013.

Philippine food major Jollibee Foods Corporation announced in early 2012 that it was to acquire a 50%interest in SuperFoods Group, which will give it a 49% stake in SF Vung Tau Joint Stock Company inVietnam and a 60% share in Blue Sky Holdings in Hong Kong. The acquisition of a majority interest in theSuperFoods Group could expedite Jollibee's international push, given the former's reach across the coffee

markets of Macau, Hong Kong and Vietnam.

In early 2013, US coffee chain Starbucks announced that it would debut in Vietnam's capital, Ho Chi Minh

City, in February 2014 as it continues to develop its Asia Pacific business, where it has seen great success

over the past few years.

We are witnessing a rapid emergence of competition in the Vietnamese soft drinks market. The

opportunities provided by an emerging middle class in Vietnam are firmly within the sights of domestic

drinks producers such as PepsiCo Vietnam, Tan Hiep Phat and Coca-Cola Beverages Vietnam, and the

companies' aggressive initiatives in terms of product innovation, portfolio expansion and advertising will

only instil greater dynamism into the sector.

The maturation of a massive youth population and rising consumer affluence are translating into a

burgeoning appetite for soft drinks. As consumers move up the income ladder over the coming years, an

accelerating premiumisation momentum in the sector means that value sales are expected to increase more

dynamically over our forecast period.



An intensifying influx of sector investments will provide another major impetus to drive industry growth. Inparticular, we expect domestic soft drinks manufacturers to ramp up their initiatives in terms of product

innovation, portfolio expansion and marketing. In terms of portfolio expansion, local soft drink

manufacturers are gradually calibrating their portfolio towards healthier and functional beverages such as

fruit juices and ready-to-drink teas, as they look to tap into a growing health awareness trend in the country.

Reflecting a shift of consumer preferences towards healthier beverages, PepsiCo Vietnam and Coca-Cola

Beverages Vietnam have been losing market share in recent years due to declining sales of carbonates,

according to anecdotal reports. However, with the health awareness trend expected to remain well

entrenched over the coming years, we expect more domestic soft drinks manufacturers such as PepsiCo

Vietnam and Coca-Cola Beverages Vietnam to expand their non-carbonates offerings. As a case in point,

Big C recently introduced its private label fruit juice range Casino Bio to cater to the burgeoning domesticdemand for health and functional beverages.

As competition intensifies in the Vietnamese soft drinks market, domestic producers are also looking to

differentiate themselves through branding and marketing initiatives. Coca-Cola Beverages Vietnam and Tan

Hiep Phat have executed some of the biggest advertising campaigns in Vietnam through various formats

such as print advertisements, television and the internet. These initiatives have not only bolstered consumer

awareness of the different soft drinks brands but have also encouraged greater soft drinks consumption in

the country.

Moreover, domestic soft drinks manufacturers will continue to engage in product innovation by offering

different bottle formats and sizes in an attempt to cater to the varying consumer tastes and preferences. For

instance, Coca-Cola Beverages Vietnam and PepsiCo Vietnam produce their soft drinks in varying sizes,

and this has facilitated their reach to the end-consumer market. As more companies hop on the product

innovation bandwagon, this will bring about greater dynamism in the sector and further fuel sales growth.

Mass Grocery Retail

2014 MGR sales (local currency) growth: +13.3%; compound annual growth rate (CAGR) 2014 to 2018:+9.9%.

2014 supermarket sales (local currency) growth: +13.9%; CAGR to 2018: +10.2%. 2014 hypermarket sales (local currency) growth: +13.7%; CAGR to 2018: +10.1%. 2014 convenience store sales (local currency) growth: +10.3%; CAGR to 2018: +8.3%.

Reflecting the long-term potential of the Vietnamese mass grocery retail (MGR) sector, we forecast realgrowth of 60.0% for overall MGR sales in local currency terms between 2014 and 2018. This growth

forecast makes Vietnam one of the most attractive propositions in the Asia Pacific region. Owing to the

higher profitability per store for supermarkets and hypermarkets, these formats will continue to garner the

bulk of investment attention. Vietnamese consumers are most familiar with the standard supermarket

format, and are increasingly showing a penchant for hypermarkets owing to their popular combination of

food and non-food items.

We estimate Vietnam's MGR sales grew by 10.9% in 2013, slowing from growth in 2011 and 2012. The

slowdown in 2013 can be attributed to the global headwinds of a potential hard landing in China, economic

uncertainties in the US and sovereign debt concerns in the eurozone, which all weighed on consumer

confidence that was already dented by rising unemployment in the manufacturing sector. However, we

expect stronger growth to return this year, with us forecasting 13.3% in 2014.

Retail Fundamentals Remain Strong In Longer Term

Favourable demographics and robust economic growth largely underpin our optimism regarding the

Vietnamese MGR growth story. According to our estimates, Vietnam's population is roughly 90mn and is

forecast to grow over the forecast period to 2022. More importantly, Vietnam has a youthful demographic

profile, implying attractive opportunities in the mass market.



Vietnam's rapid economic development also is likely to assist the emergence of a new consumer class - in

major urban centres at least - that has an interest, and can afford to participate, in modern consumptionmethods such as mass grocery retailing. GDP per capita in Vietnam is forecast to more than double over our

10-year forecast period. This rise in purchasing power will only trigger a swathe of consumer spending

across the country's retail scene.

Vietnam Unlikely To Reach Full Retail Potential In Near Term

Although Vietnam is equipped with the aforementioned elements that are necessary to support strong

growth in mass grocery retailing, the country is unlikely to reach the full potential of its retail growth story

in the near future. Organised retail accounts for only 15% of overall grocery sales in Vietnam, highlighting

the prevalence of mom-and-pop shops. The relative immaturity of the Vietnamese MGR sector can be

partly attributed to the country's restrictive business climate. Vietnam remains a risky place to do business,

with the lack of transparency of laws and regulations, as well as restrictions on foreign investment, deterring

less-hardy retailers from setting up shop in the country. The lack of an established transport infrastructure

further complicates distribution efforts for MGR operators.

Foreign Interest Picking Up

Despite the challenges, foreign interest in the Vietnamese MGR sector will very probably continue to grow

steadily over the coming years given the sector's hugely untapped potential. We believe that the bulk of

multinational investment in the near future is likely to come from bigger retail names such as Aeon and

Groupe Casino, which are eager to expand their emerging market footprint and have the financial capacity

to deploy the necessary distribution infrastructure in the sector. After receiving the regulatory permit from

the Vietnamese government, Japanese retailer Aeon plans to develop around 20 retail and trade centres

nationwide by 2020, which will house both local and foreign MGR operators.

Interest from less-hardy foreign investors will also pick up, in our view, although such investment will

largely take the form of joint ventures as foreign retailers leverage on the local market expertise andfinancial strength of their local counterparts. As a case in point, South Korean MGR player E-Mart recently

reached an agreement with U&I Investment Corporation, to establish a joint venture (JV) in Vietnam withthe aim of setting up retail stores in the country. Similarly, Singapore MGR operator NTUC FairPrice and

Vietnam's Saigon Union of Trading Co-operatives are looking to establish a chain of hypermarkets in

Vietnam through their local JV.



The latest multinational reported to be entering the market, as of summer 2013, is French retailer Auchan

which, according to local sources, is set to inject US$500mn in the next decade.

Supermarket And Hypermarket Sectors The Outperformers

While the supermarket and hypermarket sub-sectors will feature most prominently on investors' radars, the

convenience retail sector can be expected to increasingly attract interest from retailers. Accordingly, the

demand for convenience with the pay-off of higher prices is not yet on the agenda for most consumers.

However, with purchasing power on the rise, this will bring the concept of convenience retailing more

within reach of the average consumer.

If there can be a downside in the case of such an impressive retail growth forecast, it comes in the form of

Vietnam's majority rural population, which drags down food consumption in the market to unattractivelevels. The risk for retailers is that as soon as the country's major cities start to become saturated withbusiness opportunities, few other communities exist that can currently support modern retail development.

Even the low prices offered by discounters would be unlikely to attract buyers in rural communities, for

whom self-sufficiency and wet markets remain the sole methods of consumption. However, this point is still

a long way off. Retailers will invest in Vietnam in line with their own need to expand, confident of the

country's economic development and growing consumer base.

2014 exports growth (US$ terms): +10.6%; compound annual growth rate (CAGR) 2014 to 2018: +8.6%. 2014 imports growth (US$ terms): +12.4%; CAGR to 2018: +9.3%.

We see growing downside risks to our outlook for Vietnam's food and drink exports. A sputtering economic

recovery in the US, sovereign debt concerns in the eurozone and expectations for a second-half slowdown

in China are placing increasing pressure on our export outlook for the Vietnamese food and drink sector.

However, the Vietnamese consumer looks to be in stronger shape than its regional peers to shoulder the

burden of slower economic growth.

Over the five years to 2018, the outlook for Vietnam's food and drink trade balance is relatively strong, as

the country is forecast to maintain a healthy and growing trade surplus. Off of a much higher base, exports

are forecast to experience growth of 51.1% between 2014 and 2018, while imports are forecast to

experience growth of 55.7%.

A major driver behind the growth in exports is sustained government effort to improve local foodproduction and agricultural industries. This will boost output and make more produce available for export,

and will also improve the quality competitiveness of local exports.

Over the long term, increasing urbanisation and continued exposure to Western influences are expected to

generate growing import demand, and increasingly busy lifestyles and rising interest in branded produce

will lead to growth in the processed-food industry. In order to meet this demand, local manufacturers will be

forced to import the necessary raw ingredients. Beyond 2018, the government is likely to be hopeful that its

investments and efforts to attract foreign investors will pay off, and that much of this new and specific type

of demand will be able to be accommodated domestically.

Macroeconomic Forecast

BMI View: Although we expect the Vietnamese economy to record yet another quarter of sub-par growth inQ413, we are beginning to see potential for upside surprises to domestic demand over the coming quarters.Recent data on foreign direct investment inflows, remittances, passenger car sales, and property marketlaunches, suggests to us that domestic demand is on a nascent recovery, setting the stage for stronger 2014growth.

The general consensus is expecting the Vietnamese economy to suffer yet another quarter of sub-par growth

mainly due to subdued external demand and the lack of progress on banking sector reforms. This is closely

in line with our view that real GDP growth will come in at just 5.3% in 2013, a slight improvement from5.2% in 2012. Looking ahead to 2014, however, evidence of improving macroeconomic fundamentals in

Vietnam (especially with regards to the outlook for domestic demand) suggests to us the balance of risks toour growth forecast of 6.0% is gradually tilting towards the upside.

Robust Remittances Could Boost Domestic Demand

Remittances: According to estimates published by the World Bank, the Vietnamese economy is on track to

record a bumper year for remittance inflows. The country is expected to receive US$10.6bn in remittancesfrom Vietnamese citizens working abroad, a robust 6.5% increase from 2012. Crucially, we believe that

remittance inflows will remain strong over the coming quarters as macroeconomic conditions in Vietnam

continue to improve. Growing confidence in the stability of the Vietnamese dong should also help to

encourage Vietnamese workers abroad, to a certain extent, to remit a larger share of their earnings back

home. We believe that this will help to boost domestic demand while providing support for the currency.

Foreign Direct Investment: Total foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows are also set to surpass thegovernment's full-year target of US$13bn, after data released by the Ministry of Planning and Investmentshowed that inflows surged by 19.5% year-on-year (y-o-y) growth over the first eight months of the year.The strong reading chimes with our view that the country's solid long-term growth story should continue to

attract foreign investors over the coming years.
