Why 2026 is the Mandatory Year to Digitize Display Execution to Avoid Market Share Loss?

The Vietnamese retail market is undergoing an unprecedented digital transformation. For FMCG brands, 2026 is no longer the time to debate the benefits of AI, it is the deadline for action. This article analyzes why delaying the digitization of display execution via AI technology will inevitably lead to irrecoverable market share loss.

The FMCG industry operates in a market that is both high-potential and intensely competitive. The size of Vietnam's retail market was estimated to exceed US$ 170 billion in 2023 (Astute Analytica, 2024). In this colossal game, companies spend billions on "Perfect Store" strategies and Sales teams, yet they are simultaneously creating a perilous "execution gap."

 

This gap exists because execution data at the Point-of-Sale, where 70% of purchasing decisions are made, is buried in slow, opaque manual auditing processes, delayed by 2-4 weeks. To protect profit and market share, the transition from manual audit to AI Display Tracking is a business imperative, not merely a technology choice.

 

RETAIL 2026 MANDATE: DIGITAL VELOCITY IS THE KEY TO SURVIVAL

The speed of digitization in Vietnam is accelerating exponentially, especially in the retail sector. This is the single biggest pressure demanding immediate action from brands.
