Vietfood & Beverage – Propack Vietnam 2025: The Biggest International F&B Exhibition in Vietnam

Published

on

HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 July 2024 – From August 7-9, 2025, Vietfood & Beverage – Propack Vietnam 2025 – The biggest international F&B exhibition in Vietnam will officially take place at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) – 799 Nguyen Van Linh, Ho Chi Minh City.

Vietfood & Beverage – Propack Vietnam 2025 has a scaled up to 1,400 booths featuring 1,000 enterprises from 20 countries and territories, opening opportunities for investment promotion and enhancing sustainable trade cooperation.

At this exhibition, VINEXAD Company, the organiser, serves as a crucial bridge, connecting domestic and international brands, enabling them to showcase superior, market-competitive products.

Vietfood & Beverage – Propack Vietnam 2025 is projected to host more than 30,000 professional visitors, alongside thousands of attendees to explore and experience.

F&B Vietnam – The potential market for foreign businesses

In recent years, rising living standards have led Vietnamese consumers to prioritise self-care and indulgence, promoting strong growth in the food and beverage (F&B) industry.

According to ipos.vn, the revenue of the F&B industry in Vietnam in 2024 reached about VND688.8 trillion, an increase of 16.6 per cent compared to 2023 (equivalent to more than US$25 billion); with an average growth rate of 7-10 per cent/year in the period 2019-2024, F&B emerged as one of the economy’s vital sectors.

In addition to domestic F&B brands leading the market, foreign businesses also have ample room for expansion in the country, especially as Vietnam’s participation in numerous major trade agreements, help to reduce import taxes on food and F&B ingredients.

This significantly benefits domestic consumers, offering them opportunity to access quality imported products at reasonable prices, such as drinks sourced from Japan, Korea, Europe, alongside organic foods, confectionery, milk, processed meat and many other products.

According to Ipos.vn, Vietnam has the densest F&B market in Southeast Asia (1 store/300 people) with approximately 323,010 stores. A 2024 survey by Coc Coc reveals that, up to 32 per cent of consumers tend to eat at F&B restaurant chains whenever the need arises; notably Gen Z (18-26 years old) accounts for 58 per cent (Vietnam Demographic Report 2024, General Statistics Office).

Given this trend, Vietnam is considered a fertile land for the franchise model, contributing to the widespread proliferation of international branded restaurants, food and beverage chains.

However, to operate effectively, F&B businesses still have to import a large amount of raw materials such as milk, powder, bottled drinks, high-quality snacks, cheese, cold cuts, etc., requiring domestic distributors to seek international partners to provide high-quality products at reasonable prices.

Conversely, foreign businesses wishing to approach the Vietnamese F&B market also need to prioritise cooperation with reputable distributors with strong logistics capabilities.

To realise this, Vietfood & Beverage – Propack Vietnam 2025 serves as the ideal platform for domestic and international businesses to connect, fostering long-term cooperation agreements and ensuring mutual benefits.

Vietfood & Beverage – Propack Vietnam 2025 – Opportunities for breakthrough and integration

With more than 1,400 booths from 1,000 businesses from 20 countries, Vietfood & Beverage – Propack Vietnam 2025 – held at SECC, Ho Chi Minh City from August 7 to 9, 2025 – will not only bring together renowned industry brands but also serve as a crucial trade bridge, helping Vietnamese businesses to stay abreast of current trends, introduce technology and boost their momentum for future growth.

As the main sponsor of the event, Masan Group Corporation proudly stands at the forefront of Vietnam’s branded food and beverage industry, as well as high-tech agriculture. With a portfolio of iconic brands such as Chin-su, Omachi, Vinacafé, Nam Ngư, and WinEco, Masan continues to affirm their leadership and commitment to delivering high-quality products to Vietnamese consumers.

These companies are actively transitioning from ‘processing production’ to branded production and closed value chains.

In the context of the restructuring of the global supply chain, the Vietnam meat and frozen food segment is considered a potential growth market that has not yet been fully exploited.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 July 2026 – The Hong Kong Tourism Board is proud to support the 108th Lions International Convention 2026 in Hong Kong. Having previously hosted the convention in 1992 and 2005, Hong Kong has once again been chosen by Lions Clubs International as the venue for its flagship event, attracting around 17,000 delegates from across the globe.

The opening ceremony was attended by more than 10,000 representatives from Lions Clubs worldwide.

The VinFast VF 8 and the New Priorities of EV Ownership

Published

on

DUBAI, UAE – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 July 2026 – Today’s EV buyers are looking beyond range and horsepower. They want an ownership experience that is just as reassuring as the vehicle itself, and that is where the VinFast VF 8 makes a strong case.

Just a few years ago, conversations surrounding EV buying were dominated by battery size, driving range and acceleration. Those things still matter today, but they are no longer the whole story. As EVs move into the mainstream, buyer priorities are shifting toward practical, long-term considerations, including the post-purchase experience, charging convenience, straightforward servicing, and the enduring reliability of the brand. These factors increasingly shape purchasing decisions, and they also provide a useful lens through which to look at the VinFast VF 8, an all-electric mid-size SUV.

Designed by the legendary Italian design house Pininfarina, the all-electric D-segment SUV combines clean, modern styling with the practicality expected of a family vehicle. It delivers up to 493 km of NEDC driving range, produces up to 402 horsepower through a dual-motor AWD system, and comes equipped with Level 2 driver assistance technologies, a 15.6-inch infotainment display, and a spacious cabin designed for everyday comfort. In the UAE, buyers also benefit from a 10-year vehicle warranty, a 10-year unlimited-mileage battery warranty, alongside 24/7 roadside assistance and five years of free maintenance up to 100,000 km.

While the VF 8 already has plenty to offer on paper, the real challenge is making ownership feel effortless once the excitement of the purchase has passed. Recognizing that, VinFast has invested heavily in the ecosystem that supports its vehicles.

Earlier this year, the company signed agreements with 29 international aftersales partners as part of a broader plan to expand its global service network to more than 1,100 workshops across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia during 2026. The company is also rolling out customer support initiatives such as software updates, battery inspections, and technical support throughout the ownership journey.

In the UAE specifically, VinFast works with Al Tayer Motors to provide local aftersales support while continuing to strengthen its regional service network through experienced local partners. In March, the company signed an MoU with PlusX Electric, a DEWA-approved charging provider, to extend support beyond the dealership network. The plan includes portable charging pods, on-demand mobile charging, and emergency roadside charging services. The goal is to reduce downtime and eliminate the awkward scenario of running low on charge far from a plug.

“VinFast is committed to building a long-term and comprehensive EV ecosystem in the UAE, one that gives customers confidence not only in the quality and performance of our electric vehicles, but also in the reliability and accessibility of the supporting infrastructure,” one executive of VinFast Middle East said in a press release.

The Middle East is entering an important stage of its EV journey, with governments investing in cleaner mobility and consumers enjoying more choices than ever before. As the market evolves, delivering a competitive vehicle is only part of the equation, while making ownership straightforward is becoming just as important. The VinFast VF 8 reflects that shift, pairing the features of a modern electric SUV with growing investments in charging, aftersales support, and customer service.
