Vietnam’s audiobook market
“The Vietnamese market has conditions that are considered to be sufficient for the development of audiobooks Internet connectivity is ubiquitous, the number of smartphone users is increasing, and the time spent on various types of content is increasing” said Mr Le Hoang Thach - General Director of Voiz FM Company
The Vietnamese audiobook industry is experiencing a surge in growth, mirroring the global trend The country boasts a vast potential market with over 90 million people, 56% of whom are under 35 years old—the demographic with the highest demand for audiobooks (Statista) Moreover, Vietnam ranks second in Southeast Asia in terms of smartphone user penetration.
2020 with 61.3 million smartphones (according to Statista);
Amidst Vietnam's rapid urbanization and fast-paced lifestyle, the audiobook market is experiencing a surge in popularity Its growth is driven by the convenience and flexibility it offers, allowing users to seamlessly integrate knowledge acquisition and entertainment into their daily routines While the market remains nascent, its potential is vast, as people seek ways to expand their knowledge and stay informed on the go.
According to a survey by We Are Social, in the Vietnamese market, nearly 30 million people have a habit of listening to Audio Content online (audiobooks, podcasts, radio) It is not a small number, so audiobook production units do not hesitate to invest in their products One of the remarkable advancements of audiobooks is keeping up with paper books, which is enough to meet the needs of users
Despite the strong potential to grow in the future, the volume of the audiobook market in Vietnam is still low compared to the Asia region and the world Enterprises in this field have not yet been centralized, leading to a small market value At the same time,
4 technological limitations have led to the cost of producing manual audiobooks becoming many times more expensive than printed books
However, in the ongoing digitization trend in the publishing industry, especially, the epidemic crisis has been a "push" for reading to fundamentally change, young people realize that audiobooks are a convenient form of reading, not only for entertainment but also for the acquisition of knowledge On the other hand, publishers and book companies that have difficulty in publishing paper books have also found new directions Some units have joined hands with partners to develop the available resources for their own books
Despite its modest size, the audiobook market in Vietnam is experiencing rapid growth due to the nation's rapid pace of life within a developing economy The demand for accessible knowledge and information updates drives the market's expansion Technological advancements in audio production and distribution, coupled with publishers embracing digital content, serve as catalysts for the audiobook industry's continued development.
Despite the recent recognition of audiobooks in Vietnam, the industry has faced significant challenges for over a decade Piracy remains a major obstacle, with parallel applications and user-uploaded content on platforms like YouTube hindering the growth of legitimate channels Additionally, the market remains relatively small and consumers are not accustomed to paying for content, further contributing to the slow adoption of audiobooks in the region.
- Demand for audiobooks has increased significantly
- The audiobook market is growing in Vietnam
- Update trends in the world, access audiobook technology quickly

- Waka, Mydio has unattractive content; no high engagement; does not focus on specific customers
- Fonos has the most comprehensive recognition across most digital channels, high interactivity, and stability than its competitors
- In fact, spontaneous audiobook channels on social networks have higher recognition among current audiobook users
→ The main competitor is Fonos, the main competitor is spontaneous audiobook channels on social networks
→ SOK needs to create a communication campaign to increase awareness and offer its strengths related to “copyrighted audiobooks” so that users can choose SOK instead of pirated audiobooks or competitors
2.2.2 Platform to identify primary and secondary competitors

• Content: Read the entire book
PR cafef.vn, listennotes.com, nhandan.vn, tiki.vn x
TikTok x Many videos, diverse genres
Spotify A large number of audiobook excerpts, diverse genres
A large number of audiobooks, diverse genres
• Diverse communication channels, but the communication efficiency is not high compared to the main competitor - Fonos
• SOK needs to focus its content on several media channels aimed at the target audience such as TikTok and Facebook
→ SOK needs to focus on communicating the concept of "copyrighted audiobooks" and the product's USP, which is to develop the sound and voice of the application to help consumers experience the best
As such, the SOK needs:
• Select and focus on developing a few key channels - touch points reach the most target audience
• Create a breakthrough, demonstrate its strengths compared to competitors, and become the leading brand representing "copyright audiobooks" through communication and marketing activities.
Analysis of SOK Fanpage compared to competitors
- The main communication channel is the Fonos Fanpage
- It has over 26,000 likes and 28,000 followers
- Interaction of posts is uneven, with about 10-300 + reactions/posts
- About 20-25 posts per month, 5-7 posts per week
Although SOK fanpage is still newly created but we already have:
- Post-interaction is even, with about 40-80 reaction /post
- We plan to have 14-15 post / month and about 3-4 post / week
- The content pillars and angles deployed by SOK are more well-groomed, spectacular and the post-interaction is relatively even, higher than Fonos
- Angles tend to be repetitive, and haven’t used KOLs' images to promote as much as Fonos
→ SOK is in need of new and more influential communication activities to increase brand awareness with new customers
Analysis of SOK Google channel compared to competitors
According to Similarweb in September 2022, we found:
- The majority of website visitors belong to the GenZ generation aged 18-24 (52.01%)
- More than half of website traffic comes from keyword searches on Google
- Searches for fonos.vn are mainly organic searches with top keywords such as fonos, audiobook fonos, …
- Regarding Social Media, Fonos accounts for a lot of traffic from the Youtube platform, followed by Facebook and Linkedin
Our website SOK.vn is currently being initialized, hindering Google from collecting sufficient data for analysis Nevertheless, we envision SOK.vn as a robust promotional and sales platform By leveraging channels that Fonos overlooks, we aim to execute communication campaigns that effectively raise brand awareness and establish SOK.vn as a key channel alongside our primary channel.

CUSTOMER ANALYSIS
Consumer behavior trends and directions of SOK
Vietnam's low literacy rates are reflected in a recent survey that found only 30% of Vietnamese engage in regular book reading On average, Vietnamese spend only one hour reading books, a markedly low statistic in comparison to global standards.
According to this survey, in the free time of Vietnamese people, 41.7% of young people answered that they go online, 20% watch movies, 16.7% listen to music and only 15% say they read books .
In a survey of students in Ho Chi Minh City, 47.26% of students are aware of the importance of books, 26.37% think that reading is necessary, 25.15 think that reading is normal and 1.22% think reading is unnecessary
The reason why young people rarely read books is that their daily activities are quite busy and reading is not interactive
Realizing these factors, audiobooks were born on this practical need
Audiobooks in Vietnam are not as popular as in the US and other developed countries in the world, partly because the means of transportation in these countries are trams and buses, so during the time spent on these means, they may need audiobooks In the future, when metro lines in Vietnam develop, it will also promote the audiobook market here
Although audiobooks can be convenient because you can only use a smartphone, they are mostly used for easy- -understand books such as stories and fiction As for books to that need more thinking such as science, finance, economics, etc., it is not easy for listeners
26 Although the search volume of audiobooks is up to 209 million searches, most of them are pirated or non copyrighted websites of poor quality, causing general misunderstandings about audiobooks for Vietnamese people (The sound is poor, and the advertising constantly makes the listening interrupted )
Only effective for titles that do not need much thinking and calculation
SOK should overcome these two problems if it wants to be widely popularized in the Vietnamese audiobook market in particular as well as Southeast Asia in general.
