Business and strengths<\/h2>\n

Four companies, Heineken Vietnam, Sabeco, Habeco and Carlsberg Vietnam, account for more than 90% of Vietnam's beer market, and Habeco's strength is its solid brand power in the northern market. In August 2025 Carlsberg completed the expansion of its Phu Bai brewery in the centrally governed city of Hue (formerly Thua Thien Hue Province), doubling annual production capacity from 3.6 million hectoliters to 6 million hectoliters.<\/p>\n

Vietnam's beer market is going through structural change as drink-driving rules tighten and health awareness rises. The shift in demand toward low-alcohol and non-alcoholic beer and toward craft beer points to an opening for Japanese beer makers.<\/p>\n

What it means for Japanese companies<\/h2>\n

For Japanese companies considering entry into Vietnam's beer manufacturing market, Habeco is a competitor and at the same time a potential partner and benchmark. Vietnam Social Media Marketing Strategy<\/a> and Vietnam expansion for Japanese brands<\/a> is also worth a look.<\/p>\n
