Traffic to Lazada Vietnam and Sendo in the first quarter decreased by 7.3 million visits per month and 9.6 million visits per month, respectively. These two ranked behind Tiki.

Topping the tables nationwide is still Shopee Vietnam with 43.16 million website visits per month.

It also increased by 5.2 million website visits per month compared to the previous quarter. This is also the third consecutive quarter of Shopee's growth in website traffic.
