There is an increased investment in data center infrastructure and technological advancements. It is expected to create lucrative opportunities for market growth in 2029.

  • Online entertainment, such as video and music streaming and games, was another activity gaining momentum among internet users across Vietnam. In rural areas, video and movie streaming has been one of the major daily online activities in recent years. YouTube was the most popular movie streaming platform. These services need data center facilities with minimum downtime and 24/7 support, which tier 3 facilities can offer.

  • In 2021, 22% of people were estimated to use the internet for more than 9 hours a day for studying, entertainment, and shopping, with the majority on their smartphones.
