Vietnam’s retail sales of consumer goods and services saw a significant year-on-year increase of 11.1% in April, according to the National Statistics Office of Vietnam.

For the first four months of 2025, total retail sales rose 9.9% compared to the same period in 2024.

At current prices, total retail sales reached an estimated VND582.1 trillion ($22.3 billion) in April and VND2.28 quadrillion ($87.3 billion) in the four-month period.

The two-digit growth in April is mainly attributed to high consumption and tourism demand during holidays, and increasing number of international visitors.

Total revenue of accommodation and catering services reached VND270.6 trillion ($10.36 billion), up 14.9% year-on-year, while total turnover of travel and tourism services amounted to VND30.4 trillion ($1.16 billion), soaring 24.5%.
