It has also impacted trade flows due to international logistics and transportation disruptions, and in some cases, due to policy responses, like import or export restrictions. There were about thirty-two trade flow interruptions that affected both food and agriculture inputs, including the foodservice market.

However, on the other hand, the foodservice industry catering fresh and healthy meals through online food delivery further had stabilized the flow of revenue in the market studied during the COVID-19 period in the country.?

The rapid growth of the fast-food sector in the country has led to an expansion of more food chains in the fast-food sector, thus, benefitting the overall market studied. This growth of the sector can be attributed to factors, such as convenience and availability of foods at lower costs, which are expected in independent full-service restaurants.

Franchising and sub-franchising have become very popular tools for multinational and local players in the country. Foodservice chains, like KFC, are prominent examples of the largest QSR chains in the country.

In order to compete with global foodservice restaurants, independent foodservice companies are introducing new offerings as per the local taste and preferences for Vietnam consumers. Also, companies are focusing on introducing new and innovative healthy foods with organic and natural ingredients in order to overcome the challenges faced by players in the industry. Moreover, increasing preference for street food by both local consumers and tourists is aiding the independent foodservice providers in the country to grow.

Key Market Trends
Growing Presence of International Fast-food Restaurants in Vietnam

In recent years, international fast-food restaurants have been marked by large-scale growth in the Vietnamese quick-service restaurant market due to increasing western influence that gave rise to fast food culture in the country, which is anticipated to undergo further growth over the coming years.
