Shopee dethroned Samsung, which held the number one spot for three consecutive years, marking a turning point in Vietnam's e-commerce landscape. Among others were Panasonic; Honda (motorcycle); Hao Hao; MoMo; Vietcombank, The gioi di dong and Kinh Do.

Released by Decision Lab, YouGov's exclusive partner in Vietnam, the rankings reveal the top brands in terms of overall brand health and the most improved brands over the past year.

This year's edition is based on an extensive survey of 74,688 consumer responses, making it the most comprehensive brand health study in Vietnam.

Thue Quist Thomasen, CEO of Decision Lab, said: This year’s rankings highlight the significant impact e-commerce and retail brands are having on consumer experiences.

The impressive rise of Shopee and TikTok shows how these brands are seamlessly blending innovation and convenience to connect with consumers.

The integration of entertainment and shopping on e-commerce platforms is completely reshaping the online shopping experience in Vietnam.”/.
