Key Indicators

2016 GDP reaching 6.21% did not meet the set target of 6.5%. However, 2016 CPI is better controlled at 2.67%, surpassing the CPI target of 3-4%. In addition, retail sales of consumer goods also maintain its double digit growth of 10% on average.

FMCG Growth

Urban 4 key cities FMCG market rebounds, compared to the same period last year. Meanwhile, Rural FMCG market continues to decelerate, driven by the shrink of purchasing volume.

Beverage sector was the fastest growing sector in 2015 but cannot replicate that performance in 2016 as it suffers a drop of shopping frequency in both Urban and Rural market. Packaged Foods and Home Care continue shining in Urban while Dairy and Personal Care are still leading the growth in Rural.

Hot Category

Retail Landscape

Street Shops (medium-sized format in Urban 4 cities, small size format in Rural) and Mini-Stores (including minimarket and convenience store format) are still growing well. Hyper & Supermarkets continue rising to 5% in Urban areas and are expected to retain their momentum in Tet period.
