The Vietnam beverage industry has quickly evolved from a local market player into a major global exporter. With its tropical climate, abundant raw materials, and growing OEM/ODM capabilities, Vietnam is now home to some of Asia’s most competitive drink manufacturers.
In this blog, we’ll explore the top Vietnam beverage products that are making waves in global markets — and why international buyers are turning to Vietnam as their go-to manufacturing destination.
Top 7 Vietnam Beverage Products Leading Global Exports in 2025
1. Coconut Water – Vietnam’s Global Beverage Star
Coconut water is without a doubt the crown jewel of Vietnam beverage exports. The Mekong Delta produces some of the world’s sweetest coconuts — perfect for creating pure, refreshing, and naturally hydrating drinks.
From 100% pure coconut water to blends with tropical fruits such as pineapple, lychee, or passion fruit, Vietnamese producers continue to innovate with clean-label, sugar-free, and cold-pressed options.
Major export destinations include the U.S., Japan, South Korea, Australia, and the EU. According to Statista (2025), global coconut water consumption is projected to exceed USD 11 billion by 2030, and Vietnam remains one of the top five exporters worldwide.

2. Fruit Juice Drinks – From Local Orchards to Global Shelves
Vietnam’s diverse fruit resources — including mango, pineapple, guava, soursop, and calamansi — form the foundation for a vibrant fruit juice drink export sector. Local manufacturers produce both ready-to-drink (RTD) juices and juice concentrates, catering to retail, wholesale, and foodservice markets worldwide.
According to Tridge, Vietnam’s processed fruit and vegetable exports reached nearly USD 1.1 billion in the first ten months of 2024 — a 12 % year-on-year increase, driven by sustainable sourcing and improved production technology.
Export markets such as China, ASEAN, and the Middle East increasingly demand Vietnam’s natural fruit juices because of their clean flavor profiles and minimal processing. Many beverage brands now partner with Vietnamese factories to launch custom fruit juice formulations that combine classic fruit flavors with added functionality.
3. Coffee Beverages – The Soul of Vietnam’s Beverage Exports
Coffee is at the heart of Vietnam’s beverage identity — and not just in bean form. Today, ready-to-drink coffee beverages are one of the fastest-growing segments in the Vietnam beverage export portfolio. As the world’s second-largest coffee producer, Vietnam is perfectly positioned to create premium canned coffee, lattes, and cold brew options that appeal to modern consumers worldwide.
Leading export markets include Japan, South Korea, and Europe, where demand for hybrid coffee-energy drinks continues to grow. By the end of October 2025, Vietnam recorded a US$7.41 billion turnover in coffee exports — a testament to the world’s growing appetite for Vietnamese-style coffee.
From classic black and milk coffee to creative mocha, caramel, and matcha-infused varieties, Vietnamese beverage manufacturers are blending authentic flavor with modern convenience to capture markets worldwide.
4. Sugarcane Juice – Naturally Sweet, 100% Refreshing
Sugarcane juice has transformed from a traditional street refreshment into a modern export symbol of natural energy and tropical simplicity. This Vietnam beverage is rich in electrolytes, antioxidants, and natural sweetness, making it a healthier alternative to synthetic energy drinks.
In recent years, global demand for bottled and canned sugarcane juice has been steadily rising, particularly across the Middle East, the U.S., and the Asia-Pacific region — where consumers increasingly prefer sugar-free and lemon-infused options.
Trade data from Volza (2024) indicates that Vietnam exported hundreds of sugarcane-related shipments to over 20 countries, signaling growing international interest in natural, ready-to-drink products. For beverage brands, sugarcane juice offers a “clean energy” story — natural hydration without caffeine or artificial ingredients.
5. Functional & Energy Drinks – Innovation Meets Performance
Beyond traditional juices, Vietnam is becoming a powerhouse in functional and energy beverages. These drinks cater to the global demand for performance and wellness-oriented products.
In 2025, consumers around the world are turning to energy drinks not just for a caffeine boost, but for focus, endurance, and clean energy. The category is being redefined by zero-sugar formulas, natural caffeine sources, and functional ingredients, appealing to health-conscious and active lifestyles.
According to Grand View Research (2025), the global energy drinks market was valued at USD 79.4 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 125.1 billion by 2030, highlighting Vietnam’s growing strategic role as an export supplier.
6. Tea-Based Drinks – Tradition Meets Modern Taste
Vietnam has a long-standing tea culture and ranks among the world’s top 10 tea exporters. In recent years, ready-to-drink tea beverages have gained traction as one of the most balanced and adaptable products within the Vietnam beverage industry.
Green tea, lemon tea, milk tea, and matcha blends are popular both domestically and internationally, offering a lighter caffeine experience and natural appeal. Export regions such as Japan, ASEAN countries, and Europe have embraced Vietnam’s modern take on tea — featuring fruit-infused or low-sugar options.
According to the FAO Tea Market Report (2024), Vietnam remains one of the world’s top tea producers, maintaining steady export growth through quality improvements and innovative drink formats. Supporting this, recent data shows that Vietnam exported over 133,000 tons of tea in 2024, worth nearly USD 235 million.
7. Aloe Vera Drinks – Naturally Functional, Globally Loved
Another rising star in the Vietnam beverage export lineup is aloe vera juice. Thanks to the country’s suitable growing conditions and advanced processing technologies, Vietnamese factories produce clear aloe drinks with pulp and fruit-infused variants that appeal to health-conscious consumers.
Aloe drinks are valued for their digestive and skin health benefits, making them popular in markets like Japan, Korea, and the Middle East. Allied Market Research (2025) projects that the global aloe beverage market will reach USD 1.3 billion by 2030, and Vietnam’s cost-efficient yet high-quality production gives it a strong export advantage.
Vietnam’s Competitive Edge: Why Buyers Choose Vietnam Beverage Manufacturers
Vietnam’s success in global beverage exports isn’t accidental — it’s the result of a powerful combination of natural resources, manufacturing expertise, and competitive economics. The country benefits from abundant local crops such as coconuts, sugarcane, tropical fruits, and coffee beans, all within close proximity to modern processing facilities.
Another key advantage is cost efficiency: Vietnam offers high-quality beverage manufacturing at significantly lower production costs than many Western or neighboring Asian markets. Combined with a growing emphasis on eco-friendly packaging, renewable energy use, and zero-waste processing, the country is fast becoming a preferred destination for beverage sourcing and private label development.
