In Viet Nam, the 11.11 Big Sale created a spike in shopping activity as people turned to Shopee for the best deals from their favourite brands and sellers, while enjoying greater convenience through Shopee’s eco-system.

Key trends included a surge in demand for electronics with over 8,000 Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S smartphones sold as people upgraded their gadgets.
