Technology is everywhere, and it's changing people's lives. We're exposed to technology from the moment we wake up to the last few minutes before we close our eyes.
The primary device for access to technology is the mobile phone. According to Statista, in 2020, the smartphone adoption rate in APAC reached 28%, and is expected to grow to 83% by 2025.
Technology transformation has been enabled by Vietnamese’s highly adaptable digital consumers, who are becoming enthusiastic about these technologies. By the end of 2020, the number of internet users in areas outside metros hit 91% and for the first time ever surpassed TV in both penetration and time spend.
The MMA & WARC report summarises the Vietnam findings of our latest APAC modern marketing survey, which assesses how advertisers and agencies are using, and planning to use mobile as a part of their marketing strategy. It focuses on the critical areas which need to be taken into account by advertisers, including the importance of social, the impact of commerce on the use of mobile, the challenges being faced and the future of mobile technology.
