Bridging the Vietnamese Game Market with International Game Publishers
To penetrate the promising yet challenging Vietnamese game market, international publishers need a fitting strategy and support from partners experienced in the domestic market.
The Robust Boom of Vietnam’s Game Market
In recent years, Vietnam’s game market has witnessed a strong surge. According to Newzoo, a market research firm, Vietnam is one of the fastest-growing regions for mobile gaming worldwide, with an annual growth rate of 7.4% from 2022 to 2025, compared to the global average of 3%.
In Vietnam alone, there are 54.6 million gamers generating nearly $800 million in revenue (including estimates for IAP and local payment).
The Ministry of Information and Communications aims for the Vietnamese game industry to hit a revenue milestone of $1 billion by 2030. Vietnam is currently in the top 8 for global game downloads and hosts over 35,000 game developers, nearly equal to China.
The Vietnamese gaming industry aims to reach a revenue of $1 billion by the year 2030.
With its rapid growth and untapped potential, Vietnam is becoming a “gold mine” full of opportunities for leading game companies from Japan, South Korea, China, and North America.
Barriers and Challenges
However, entering this market is no easy task. International publishers face numerous challenges, from legal barriers and cultural differences to the fierce competition from local publishers.
This requires that foreign publishers need an appropriate strategy and support from partners who are well-versed in the Vietnamese market.
