That’s how large the share of Vietnam’s population is now covered by 5G.
📶 Rapid rollout: Just one year after commercial launch in October 2024, 5G already reaches nearly 60% of the population. Vietnam ranks 10th globally for fixed broadband speed and 15th for mobile internet speed.
📱 Digital everyday life: Around 80 million Vietnamese are online, spending about seven hours a day on the internet on average. In Southeast Asia, three out of five people shop online, and more than 60% of payments are digital.
Watch: The faster networks, payments, and e-government scale, the faster the digital economy grows. But the next bottleneck is already on the agenda: cybersecurity and clear rules. If trust and protection fail to keep pace, growth will slow despite strong coverage.
