Technology is gradually becoming familiar in Vietnamese life in everything.
Technology is changing the pace of Vietnamese life faster than ever. From turning on the phone in the morning, shopping, paying, to entertainment or studying at night, every daily habit is clearly influenced by AI, super apps and digital platforms.
2025 is not just the year of gadgets, but also a time of questioning how we live, work, and connect with the digital world .
AI powerfully personalizes every digital experience
2025 will see AI present in most of the online activities of Vietnamese people. From reading news to shopping and watching short videos , every platform uses AI to understand habits and suggest the most suitable content.
Users thus access information faster but also rely more on automatic suggestions. This is considered an important shift as technology clearly shapes the way Vietnamese people interact with the digital world.
Super apps become the center of digital life
Platforms like Zalo, Shopee, Grab or MoMo are becoming integrated ecosystems with many services. Vietnamese people can pay for food, entertainment, transfer money or call a car in the same application.
The trend of combining utilities into one platform helps users save time and reduce the number of apps that need to be installed on their phones, while also making the competition between super apps increasingly heated up.
"Fresh" shopping with technology
Vietnamese people are used to ordering fresh food with one touch.
By 2025, Vietnamese people will increasingly be accustomed to ordering fresh food via apps with delivery times ranging from 15 to 45 minutes. AI predicts purchase history to remind when essential items such as milk, diapers or rice are running low. Automated warehouses make deliveries faster and more accurately, changing the traditional grocery shopping habits of many families.
Cashless payments increase sharply
Not only in the city but also in traditional markets, restaurants or taxis, Vietnamese people use QR codes and e-wallets more than ever. Payments become simple when you just need to scan the code with your phone. 2025 is considered the year that marks the sharp decline of cash in daily transactions.
Education enters the AI era, and teachers go hand in hand
Students have their own "AI tutor" to help them practice speaking English, writing, and decoding exercises.
Schools in Vietnam have begun using AI learning assistants to track review progress, grade papers, and suggest study methods. Many students are getting used to having an AI tutor to practice speaking English or explain difficult exercises.
The role of the teacher is thus expanded to focus on guiding and developing thinking rather than just imparting knowledge.
The freelancer and remote work boom
AI tools help young people save a lot of time in creating content, designing programming or researching. Therefore, the number of Vietnamese freelancers will increase rapidly in 2025. Many people take advantage of the opportunity to work for international clients and have more diverse sources of income. The trend of freelancing thanks to technology is predicted to continue to accelerate in the near future.
Creator economics becomes a popular career choice
Video production is easier thanks to automatic clip editing tools with multilingual voiceovers and AI script writing. Vietnamese people from students to shop owners can create their own content for business or entertainment. The creator economy in Vietnam is entering a period of fierce competition when content creators can complete videos in just a few minutes.
Changing the way people do paperwork
Citizen identification cards with chips and level 2 electronic identification VNeID are widely used.
Chip-based citizen identification cards, VNeID electronic identification and public service portals will be widely used in 2025. People can register vehicles, receive health insurance results or perform many procedures completely online. Cutting down on paperwork and travel time makes the administrative procedure process much more convenient than before.
Digital healthcare and telemedicine are becoming more common
Many hospitals are implementing remote examinations, reading results via applications and returning test records online. AI supports doctors in reading X-ray images or suggesting diagnoses.
Vietnamese people also use smart watches to monitor their health every day, helping to detect abnormalities early and proactively take care of themselves.
Virtual entertainment boom
The rapid development of virtual reality and augmented reality technology has significantly changed the entertainment habits of Vietnamese people. 3D livestreams of virtual concerts or virtual idols are appearing more and more. Users also try on clothes via AR or experience 360-degree travel right at home.
Digital entertainment is expected to continue to expand as platforms invest heavily in new imaging technologies.
Technology will make Vietnamese life more convenient and efficient in 2025. Learning will be facilitated by AI assistants, shopping will be quick, cashless payments will be widespread, and flexible and expanded working opportunities will be available. Workers will have more opportunities to earn income from international markets and participate in the creative economy.
But the reliance on AI makes users vulnerable to behavioral bias and reduces the ability to think independently. The digital divide between population groups remains large, while the risk of data leakage increases due to the explosion of super apps and online services. The legal framework has not kept pace.
To develop sustainably, Vietnam needs to promote digital skills training, strengthen personal data protection and improve cybersecurity. Technology companies also need to be more transparent in collecting and using data. When these foundations are strengthened, technology will become a driving force for comprehensive development for society.
