Masan’s revenue increased sharply thanks to the admission of VinCommerce in early 2020. However, as the supermarket chain still incurred a loss, the group’s profit decreased considerably compared with the year before. VinCommerce for the first time had a positive EBITDA in Q4 2020.

Masan reported that the revenue per square meter of VinMart+ chain grew by 11 percent in 2020. VinMart+ is considered the major driving force of VinCommerce in the future, when the mini supermarket chain expands. Meanwhile, the VinMart model will be re-positioned.

Masan plans to turn VinCommerce from a pure shopping point of sale into a platform serving essential needs with essential goods and services, accounting for more than 50 percent of spending on consumer goods, including fast moving consumer goods, fresh food, financial services and added value services. This was the aim of Masan when it decided to expand business into the retail sector.
