Market & Competitors Analysis

Market Analysis

According to the 2020 report on the social media landscape of coffee shop chains, The Coffee House, Phuc Long Coffee & Tea, and Highlands Coffee led the field, collectively accounting for more than 75% of social discussions about coffee shops Domestic brands such as Ong Bau Coffee, Cong Coffee, Trung Nguyen, Milano, Passio, and GUTA followed, signaling a strong wave of purely Vietnamese brands in the market The most popular international brand on social media was Starbucks, ranked fourth with 14.4% of the discussion market share.

(Source: Coffee shop chains landscape on social media in 2020) 2.1.2 Operation status of coffee shop chains

In 2020, Highlands Coffee retained its position as the largest coffee chain in Vietnam, with the lead over competitors remaining largely unchanged Total revenue reached nearly 2.14 trillion VND, marking only a slight decrease from the previous year.

Vietnam's leading coffee chains remained highly competitive in the latest rankings The Coffee House slipped to 3rd place after a relative decline, while Phuc Long edged up to 2nd place with modest growth Starbucks followed a similar pattern to The Coffee House, staying in step with the market Collectively, these three beverage chains posted revenues in the 700–800 billion VND range, and since 2019 they have experienced rapid growth.

4 rates, averaging 30-40% per year This further shows the tremendous impact of the pandemic on the entire F&B industry, of which the above names are just examples

Within the Trung Nguyen Franchising group, the unit created to oversee the Trung Nguyen Coffee Space chain recorded a 33% drop in revenue By contrast, NISO Group, the management arm of the RuNam-branded restaurant and coffee chain, faced an even sharper decline, with revenues more than halved.

Profits among the major coffee chains diverged in the period analyzed, with Highlands Coffee and Phuc Long Coffee & Tea posting notable gains as profits rose 45% and 119% respectively to 80 billion VND and 35 billion VND, reflecting improved efficiency during the epidemic Meanwhile, chains already losing money—The Coffee House, Trung Nguyen Franchising, and NISO Group—continued to incur heavier losses, while Starbucks, the foreign chain, saw a sharp decline in profit from 39 billion VND to 5 billion VND.

Competitors Analysis

Highland Coffee, Starbucks, The Coffee House are formidable competitors of Phuc Long Coffee & Tea in the coffee shop chain market in Vietnam

Highlands Coffee targets the middle class, office workers, and young people, shaping its growth strategy around opening locations in Grade A office buildings to capture premium foot traffic The chain now operates over 336 stores and has established a strong urban footprint Revenue reached approximately 2,200 billion VND in 2019 and about 2,140 billion VND in 2020, with profits far ahead of rivals and more than double the profits of other competitors This blend of premium-location positioning and solid top-line growth reinforces Highlands Coffee’s leading position in the market.

Starbucks' Vietnamese revenue surpassed 780 billion VND in 2019, up more than 32% year over year thanks to faster store network expansion This growth positions Starbucks among the highest-revenue coffee chains in Vietnam, trailing only Highlands Coffee and The Coffee House.

The Coffee House is Vietnam's second-largest coffee chain after Highlands Coffee, built through multiple rounds of scaling and capital raises By the end of 2018, Nikkei Asian Review named it one of the fastest-growing coffee chains Unlike rivals that invest in premium golden-location stores, The Coffee House differentiates itself with a rich drinks menu, moderate prices, high-speed Wi‑Fi, and large-store footprints aimed at attracting a young customer base In 2019, the chain achieved revenue of 863 billion VND, up nearly 30% from 2018, signaling strong growth; however, it was also the leading chain with the highest loss, recording negative profit of more than 80 billion VND due to high selling costs despite boasting the highest gross profit margin among coffee chains.

Phuc Long also has competitors from alternative products such as famous milk tea brands KOI, Tocotoco,

The market features a diverse array of beverages with varied types, designs, and flavors, including C2 Tea and 0-degree Green Tea, as well as popular carbonated drinks such as Pepsi and Coca-Cola, all highly competitive within the youth market segment.

Target customers analysis & Positioning Strategy

Segmentation

Segment one comprises the affluent, high-income audience who are willing to pay premium prices not only for a superior drink but also to signal their status They seek more than quality beverages; they want the entire experience to reflect exclusivity, from the atmosphere and décor to the staff’s attentive, professional service For this segment, price acts as a cue for luxury and prestige, and decision making is driven by how effectively a venue communicates its upscale image through interior design, service attitude, and overall ambiance.

In the second customer segment, individuals with an average income—primarily office workers and students—are more focused on quality than price, seeking comfortable spaces where they can meet friends, work, and exchange ideas The third segment consists of low-income consumers who are highly price-sensitive and have little interest in quality drinks or upscale experiences, instead needing affordable space to spend time by themselves Understanding these segments helps tailor offerings to deliver quality experiences for the mid-income group while providing economical, self-contained options for budget-conscious customers.

Targeting

Phuc Long Coffee & Tea targets Vietnam's middle-class customers, from office workers to energetic young people, including students and foreign tourists These visitors come not only to chat or meet friends and partners but also to find a comfortable, spacious space that supports studying, working, and creative activities.

Positioning

- The company has succeeded in positioning the brand in the minds of customers as a premium tea, "expensive but worth it"

- Positioning of Phuc Long Coffee & Tea for:

+ Customers: A place to stop, work, relax and chat

+ Products: Phuc Long produces and distributes quality, delicious, full of Vietnamese flavor tea and coffee products

+ Market: Phuc Long wishes to bring its products to many places across the country along with reliable quality and service at a reasonable price for consumers

Analyzing the Marketing Mix (7Ps) Strategies

Services Product strategy

A service product comprises all elements of service performance, both tangible and intangible, that create value for customers Service products do not lead to ownership or transfer of ownership Customers will feel disappointed and uncomfortable when using service products that are not as expected On the other hand, customers will be satisfied and happy when service products' quality not only meets but also exceeds their expectations Feelings and reviews of customers are the most important recognition for the service products' quality

- Core product: the central component that supplies the principal, problem-solving benefits customers seek

- Supplementary Services: augments the core product, facilitating its use and enhancing its value and appeal

- Delivery Processes: used to deliver both the core product and each of the supplementary services

The main products of Phuc Long Coffee & Tea include tea and coffee Phuc Long has found a unique USP point that no other brand has That is, the taste of Phuc Long must be one, unique and different

Phuc Long's tea draws its fresh taste from two tea hills in Thai Nguyen and Bao Loc The brand emphasizes traditional manual processing to deliver a strong, full-bodied cup The characteristic flavor arises from the tea leaves' composition—theanine, polyphenols, caffeine, carbohydrates, and enzymes—working together to produce a fragrant, bold, and refreshing cup To suit different preferences, Phuc Long offers two options for tea lovers.

+ Make in a modern way with green tea latte

+ Make in a traditional way with a perfect cup of oolong tea in both flavor and taste

Phuc Long focuses on the pure origin of its coffee beans, preserving premium characteristics and continually sourcing the finest beans to roast to the perfect level When you drink Phuc Long coffee, four signature traits stand out: bold, strongly roasted beans; a powerful flavor; a delicate finish; and a distinctive aroma Phuc Long prepares coffee according to two recipes.

+ Make in a modern way: filter coffee, racquet coffee

+ Make traditionally: french press, aeropress, pour-over, cold brew

● Supplementary Services: in Phuc Long, there are various supplementary services including facilitating services and enhancing services

Facilitating services are the support functions that enable customers to receive a service or use Phuc Long's core product smoothly, and they consist of four key elements: information, order-taking, billing, and payment Providing clear information, efficient order-taking, accurate billing, and seamless payment processes helps optimize the customer journey, improve satisfaction, and strengthen operational efficiency for Phuc Long.

Phuc Long customers can refer to up-to-date information on current and upcoming Phuc Long Coffee & Tea products and prices on the official Phuc Long fan page Product information is updated the fastest on the company's official page, with clear and honest visuals that build confidence when choosing Phuc Long products The websites also offer branch locations and a store locator to help you find the nearest Phuc Long branch and save travel time.

Phuc Long Coffee & Tea streamlines order taking by giving customers an invoice along with a service vibrating order card, which calls them back to pick up their drinks and dishes This vibrating order card reduces waiting time, helps customers stay proactive, and minimizes errors by ensuring the right drinks and dishes are delivered In addition to in-store service, Phuc Long also offers online ordering through popular apps like Baemin, Grab, and Now, enabling customers who cannot visit the shop to place orders for pickup or delivery.

9 directly to the store to buy That is a popular way to attract customers and bring high revenue for brands in today's modern technology era

Phuc Long's billing process reflects its diverse product lineup and mix-and-match combos by issuing invoices right after payment and before customers receive their drinks or dishes, ensuring maximum convenience and billing accuracy Each invoice lists the date and time, the cashier's name, and the price of every item, giving customers a clear, itemized record of their purchase Any billing issues are resolved promptly to maintain a smooth and satisfying customer experience.

Phuc Long provides flexible payment options, including cash and bank cards, and strongly promotes the use of e-wallets such as Momo, Shopee Pay, and Zalo Pay Customers who pay with these digital wallets can receive extra incentives via vouchers and coupons, while the store’s advanced technology platform speeds up transactions and saves time.

Phuc Long Coffee & Tea extends its core in-store offerings by launching packaged tea and coffee products for the retail market The lineup includes boxed tea, packaged tea, canned tea, and canned coffee, distributed to retail partners such as Vincommerce and VinMart+ to broaden market reach and boost Phuc Long's sales.

Beyond Phuc Long Coffee & Tea beverages, the brand’s mooncakes have left a strong impression on customers for both quality and box design, driving Phuc Long’s success in the food segment The decision to diversify with Phuc Long branded bread has also resonated positively with shoppers The standard bread originated from France and branded in Vietnam is offered in all sizes with ingredients that ensure food safety; although priced slightly higher than rivals, the value is regarded as reasonable and there is little to complain about.

Phuc Long Coffee & Tea strengthens the customer experience by offering enhancing services in addition to its facilitating services, demonstrating professionalism and differentiating the brand from competitors; three factors elevate the value of its core products.

Prioritizing safekeeping by making customers feel secure and comfortable when using Phuc Long Coffee & Tea’s services is a key driver of customer growth The brand enhances this trust by deploying parking staff and providing ample parking lots; some branches even offer two lots to ensure a secure and convenient experience for guests as they enjoy Phuc Long’s coffee and tea.

Hospitality is a cornerstone of today’s business model, and Phuc Long Coffee & Tea embodies this with a professional, friendly service style The staff greet customers warmly on arrival, with waiters and cashiers delivering attentive, seamless service from the moment you step inside If guests can’t find a suitable seat, staff will guide them to an available table, ensuring a welcoming and comfortable visit.

Phuc Long Coffee & Tea empowers frontline staff with partial authority to handle common customer situations and reasonable exceptions, such as accommodating personal preferences like adding more sweetness or adjusting a drink When an order is incorrect or requires customization, employees can make on-the-spot decisions without notifying the manager, ensuring faster service and a seamless customer experience This empowerment reduces pressure on employees while maintaining high service standards and overall operational efficiency.

Pricing strategy

Table 4.1: Price list of some products at Phuc Long

Phuc Long Milk Tea 45.000 VND

The foundation's underlying pricing strategy can be described as a tripod, with costs to the provider, competitors’ pricing, and value to the customer as the three legs Phuc Long Coffee

& Tea has also built a pricing strategy for its products and services based on these three basic factors:

Phuc Long's pricing policy is strategically built around the strengths of its core ingredients—tea and coffee—the primary inputs for most of the brand's products These key ingredients are grown, processed, and supplied in-house by Phuc Long to its store network, ensuring full control over quality and consistency By mastering these main inputs, the company's costs are less exposed to external supplier fluctuations, enabling lower production costs per product This approach delivers affordable prices for customers without compromising quality, sustaining competitive value across Phuc Long's menu.

Under cost-plus pricing, a product’s price is determined by adding a markup to the cost of input ingredients and production The final price also incorporates service costs, such as seating, and other operating expenses associated with running Phuc Long Coffee & Tea shops, ensuring the price covers both production costs and the service overhead.

Our cost structure centers on fixed costs for facilities, a luxurious Western-style interior, modern machinery and equipment, and a prime city-center location; direct costs are driven by carefully selected seasoning sources and tools that meet high input standards; labor costs reflect a workforce chosen for professional training and a consistent, enthusiastic approach to customer service.

+ Additional costs: service quality and brand value built over more than 50 years

+ Other expenses: advertising, electricity, water, wifi,

The Vietnamese coffee market is fiercely competitive and clearly segmented, with major brands occupying distinct customer niches and each brand targeting a specific audience This segmentation drives brand competition and differentiation across all tiers In the high-end segment, aimed at high-income office workers, Highlands Coffee competes with international brands like Starbucks and The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, highlighting the coexistence of domestic and global players in Vietnam’s premium coffee market.

Tea Leaf is positioned in contrast to Trung Nguyen, which frames its brand as more affordable to attract customers who favor traditional coffee flavors Phuc Long, meanwhile, targets the mid-range segment with prices that are affordable for the majority, aiming to reach a broad base of consumers as quickly as possible.

Although they cluster by store count, the brands diverge in price Urban Station and Passio sit in the 15,000–40,000 VND range, while Trung Nguyen and Starbucks Coffee typically range from about 40,000 up to more than 90,000 VND The 30,000–60,000 VND segment is Phuc Long's market; for example, a cappuccino at Phuc Long costs 30,000 VND for a small and 35,000 VND for a large, while Highlands Coffee charges up to 54,000 VND and Starbucks up to 80,000 VND Phuc Long also sells milk tea, a favorite among young customers, at around 25,000 VND, offering a cheaper alternative to the other drinks.

Phuc Long prices its cups at 45,000 VND, roughly 50–70% of Trung Nguyen’s selling price and about 30–50% of the price charged by Starbucks and The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, making the brand highly accessible in the Vietnamese coffee market This pricing strategy brings the brand closer to all consumers A representative of Phuc Long said that foreign brands entering the Vietnamese beverage market are not a threat, because Phuc Long’s target audience is young people and the price is reasonable.

Phuc Long's logo green color is not meant to compete directly with Starbucks or other brands in the same category; rather, it is a deliberate strategy to gain an advantage in the mid-market segment, signaling a distinctive value-focused positioning that appeals to customers who sit in the middle of the market.

Phuc Long Coffee & Tea implemented a sharp market-entry pricing strategy that underpins the brand's success today When Vietnamese consumers craving Western-style cafe experiences faced prices of roughly 45,000–60,000 VND, and only high-end brands like Starbucks or The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf dominated the landscape, Phuc Long opened with an accessible price point The goal was to offer an average-priced menu without sacrificing taste or service, proving that quality can rival premium brands at a more approachable price This combination of competitive pricing and strong quality has been a cornerstone of Phuc Long’s growth and market presence.

Phuc Long Coffee & Tea stands out beyond its tea and coffee drinks thanks to a diverse menu that also features juices and iced beverages at different price points to meet varied customer needs This breadth demonstrates that Phuc Long Coffee & Tea is not inferior to foreign and domestic brands Additionally, the brand develops its services in two formats, highlighting a flexible approach to delivering a satisfying customer experience.

Takeaway Express is a budget-friendly takeaway coffee option offered at branches with mid-range facilities or at Vinmart+-connected kiosks, designed to serve middle-income customers Prices range from 30,000 to 40,000 VND, and the basic beverage lineup includes iced milk coffee, hot milk coffee, and peach tea.

Phuc Long's Take Away House lets customers enjoy the brand's signature coffee flavors and a wide range of drinks at major Phuc Long Coffee & Tea branches Prices range from 40,000 to 65,000 VND, catering to customers who want a premium cafe experience Phuc Long's pricing strategy starts from the customer’s perspective by asking how much it costs to experience a shop like this, whether the price is reasonable, whether the value matches what customers feel entitled to, and whether they can afford to visit often By targeting commuters, tourists, and students with localized prices, Phuc Long provides a spacious, comfortable, and sophisticated space that rivals international chains like Starbucks or The Coffee Bean, while staying within accessible price bands This approach has helped many young people become loyal customers of Phuc Long stores.

Distribution strategy

In a typical sales cycle, distribution embraces three interrelated elements:

Information and promotion flow is centered on Phuc Long's official website and Phuc Long Fanpage, ensuring consistent messaging across channels Advertisements on delivery intermediary apps are used to reach consumers with up-to-date product details, promotions, and pricing.

Customers at Phuc Long Coffee & Tea stores begin by queueing to place their orders for products and services, with payments and orders processed almost simultaneously The cashier issues an invoice that includes your unique order number When your order number is called, staff direct you to the counter to collect the food or drink you ordered.

Phuc Long's product flow leverages delivery partnerships and in-store sales to reach customers efficiently The brand collaborates with intermediary delivery apps such as Grab, Baemin, and Now to bring its drinks to consumers who cannot visit a shop, ensuring quick and convenient access Beyond these apps, Phuc Long Coffee & Tea Shops sell directly at their stores because their drinks cannot be stored or transported to agents or retailers, preserving quality and freshness.

Distribution channels in services coordinate suppliers, intermediaries, and customers through technology-enabled buying and selling activities, and are typically short and direct Phuc Long Coffee & Tea Shops employ a direct sales distribution model to ensure customers experience the highest product and service quality, delivering not only drinks and dishes but also the space, store layout, and staff attitude that define the brand experience Beyond traditional storefronts, Phuc Long launched Phuc Long Kiosk on January 12, 2021, introducing a new model and space where customers can also enjoy Phuc Long beverages at Vinmart stores, with an order counter inside Vinmart for convenient access.

Figure 4.2: Phuc Long kiosk model at Vinmart New City - Distrisct 2

Figure 4.3: The dense order of the Phuc Long Kiosk model is arranged inside Vinmart

Phuc Long Coffee & Tea extends beyond storefront sales by offering "Delivering Services in Cyberspace" and through intermediary and electronic apps This online ordering model is increasingly popular, particularly among office workers and students, who appreciate better prices, convenience, and easy access that fits their study and work schedules The shift aligns with the ongoing digital transformation of Industry 4.0 and the rising demand for seamless delivery options in modern consumer markets.

Facing the Covid-19 epidemic, Phuc Long launched Delivering Services in Cyberspace to better meet customer needs and shift from high-contact to low-contact interaction In addition to direct store sales, Phuc Long partnered with intermediary apps and delivery services, enabling customers to order products through Beamin, Now, and GrabFood when visiting a store wasn’t feasible.

Different market segments require tailored distribution strategies, and Phuc Long Coffee & Tea targets office workers, foreign tourists traveling in Vietnam, and dynamic students with location choices in mind In major cities like Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, Phuc Long outlets are commonly found in office buildings, near language centers and schools, in the city center, and within commercial hubs, ensuring convenient access for daily routines and tourism Many shops are placed in easy-to-find locations that offer appealing views and are often close to competitors such as The Coffee House and Highland Coffee, reinforcing visibility in a crowded urban market.

Figure 4.4: Phuc Long Phan Xich Long branch Phu Nhuan district –

Phuc Long Coffee & Tea has opened 82 stores covering all major cities: the most in Ho Chi Minh City, the rest in Hanoi, Lam Dong, Can Tho, Binh Duong, Da Nang, And branches Phuc Long Coffee & Tea is still being created from Phuc Long trading production company limited Currently, the company does not have a franchise policy

The opening time of Phuc Long Coffee & Tea chain is quite early, and the closing time is late (opening time is from 7 am to about 11 pm during the day) to help customers easily enjoy and use Phuc Long's services at the times most convenient to them Specifically, office workers who go to work can visit the shops before work or after work Or young people like students need a space to create, study and work after school.

Some supplementary services can be provided to customers by other means, without direct communication Figure 4.1 identifies five elements—information, order-taking, consultation, billing, and payment—that Phuc Long Coffee & Tea offers electronically as supplementary services Everything from advice on choosing drinks to receiving orders, invoicing, payment, and information is handled through intermediary apps like Grab, Baemin, and Now, while store staff may also call customers directly to place orders.

The option for service delivery that Phuc Long Coffee & Tea chooses to serve customers is

Phuc Long invites customers to visit Phuc Long Coffee & Tea chain stores to experience the full spectrum of service quality—from attentive staff and up-to-date equipment to a welcoming space designed to enhance every visit For example, when a customer sits near the window, floor staff will politely ask to pull down the curtain so sunlight does not disrupt comfort or the overall experience This emphasis on direct store visits shows that Phuc Long believes the in-store experience delivers the highest level of service, something that shipping intermediaries and other delivery channels cannot fully replicate, even though products can reach customers through those channels.

Promotion strategy

Phuc Long's Facebook marketing commands a strong presence with a fanpage that has 423,174 followers and features engaging posts about promotions, new product launches, project updates, and seasonal wishes, published in prime time slots that resonate with young audiences The brand also maintains a beautifully designed, highly attractive website and leverages tools like Google AdWords to broaden reach and connect with customers more effectively.

+ Instagram: With more than 8,000 followers and just like Phuc Long Coffee & Tea Facebook Fanpage, interesting articles about promotions and many articles are constantly updated

Public Relations (PR) is the strategic use of corporate communication methods and activities to enhance understanding and build relationships with customers It is a long-term, ongoing process that relies on consistent messaging and engagement By organizing press conferences, product launches, and customer conferences, PR efforts attract the attention of the press and the public, shaping brand perception and trust.

From its early days, Phuc Long has placed people at the center of every decision and product The brand believes that a happy coffee space starts with happy people, and it works relentlessly to bring joyful experiences to its community Phuc Long seeks to lay a foundation that empowers everyone—regardless of gender, religion, or background—to feel happy, proud of who they are, and confident in pursuing their life dreams.

Some projects are done by Phuc Long

On December 22, the Meaningful Christmas 2012 charity drive, organized by Phuc Long, raised more than 70 million VND through the sale of drink vouchers to support poor students at Long Phuoc Primary School in Long Phuoc Commune, Ben Cau District, Tay Ninh Province.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival 2016, Phuc Long donated moon cakes to disadvantaged children across districts 1, 3, 5, 7, and 8, as well as in Phu Nhuan, Binh Tan, and Binh Duong in Vietnam This act reflects Phuc Long's commitment to supporting the communities where it operates, contributing a small part of its responsibility to help those in need.

Lawrence S Ting Charity Walk 2014 is a charitable initiative that helps the city's poor enjoy a warmer Tet, organized annually by the People's Committees of District 7, District 8, Nha Be District, and Binh Chanh District, together with Phu My Hung Development Co., Ltd This community-driven event supports vulnerable residents in time for the Vietnamese New Year Separately, Phuc Long Coffee & Tea has launched the Phuc Long Gift Card, a prepaid card in denominations of 200,000 VND, 500,000 VND, and 1,000,000 VND It provides a fast, cashless payment option at Phuc Long stores and also serves as a convenient and meaningful gift for friends and relatives on special occasions.
