After two years of posting on due to the pandemic, this year, the mooncake market re-booms thanks to the appearance of breakthrough products.

As a traditional cake for family holidays, mooncake seems to be an indispensable product of Vietnamese culture. However, in the last 5 years, this market has lacked breakthroughs and creativity.

Consumer spending also prospered, with the total retail sales of goods and services in the first 6 months increased by 11.7%, higher than the same period in the past 5 years; and increased by 14.4% compared to the first 6 months of 2019, the pre-pandemic period.

In this trend, the mooncake market for gifts and tastes is also expected to be as vibrant as before. However, there is an undeniable fact, while the production and trading trend of these items has slowed down in recent years, the consumer’s demand for enjoyment has changed with more elegant taste. 

Beside going along with the development of society, consumers are more interested in the taste of cakes – a smooth combination of tradition and modernity. Freshness, variety, safety… become important standards.

Not stopping with high requirements in each product, consumers are also more strict with packaging design, because these cake boxes are also gifts sent to family, friends and partners during the holidays. Business circles in the industry say that these innovation needs from the inside out can be summed up in the word “delicious”.

In addition, in the last 2 years, the Covid-19 pandemic has caused the moon cake market to almost freeze due to social distancing.
