AnyMind Group, an end-to-end commerce enablement platform - has today released a report revealing that influencer marketing in Vietnam witnessed the rise of micro and macro-influencer, the dominance of Facebook and the growth of business, family, and food & beverage verticals. 


The “Influencer Marketing in Vietnam 2021” report revealed that Facebook holds top place in Vietnam with high influencer usage, a large amount of influencer marketing campaigns being run and high median engagement rates - all favorable conditions for the continuous rise of the platform in the market. In addition, Food & Beverage was one of the most popular and fastest growing verticals, which is expected to thrive in the next few years. 


Top 3 influencer verticals in Vietnam


Looking at over 16,000 influencers and influencer data points in Vietnam on AnyTag, Arts & Entertainment, Fashion & Beauty, and Food & Beverage were the most popular influencer verticals in Vietnam. The Food & Beverage vertical still witnessed an increase in proportion, even though eating out has been limited, attributed to the rise of home-based content. The Business vertical also increased by 7.21% from the previous year due to increased demand for personal finance content.
