Predict Vietnamese product trends on Alibaba using smart AI

1. New trend: When AI changes the way Vietnamese businesses export on Alibaba

• In the age of digitalization, artificial intelligence (AI) is not only a data analysis tool, but also becomes a "strategic advisor" for Vietnamese businesses when participating in exporting through Alibaba.

• Instead of relying on emotions or market experience, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can predict product trends using real data from Alibaba's AI.

• Alibaba Vietnam is currently encouraging Vietnamese sellers to apply this technology to understand international buyer behavior, thereby choosing the right product at the right time, in the right market and achieving higher profits.

2. Understand the B2B model on Alibaba and how this e-commerce platform works

Alibaba's B2B (Business to Business) model allows businesses to wholesale directly to importers, agents or international brands.

On the Alibaba e-commerce platform, sellers post product information, wholesale prices, and delivery conditions, while global buyers search, negotiate and place orders online. How Alibaba works includes:

• Keyword-based global product search engine.

• Alibaba Keyword Ads internal advertising system.

• AI Data Insight tool helps sellers analyze trends.

Thanks to integrated AI, Vietnamese sellers can know:

• Which product is the most searched for?

• Which markets are growing in demand?

• Average price of each type of goods.

3. Why do Vietnamese businesses need AI to predict trends on Alibaba?

• The global market changes rapidly – ​​product trends constantly change according to seasons, regions and consumer habits.

• Vietnamese businesses often lack international market data, leading to choosing the wrong product, price or segment.

• Alibaba's AI provides real-time data such as:

- Search keywords increase rapidly.

- The product is saved by the buyer or the price is asked a lot.

- Industry growth chart.

• This analysis helps Vietnamese SMEs:

- Seize opportunities earlier than competitors.

- Optimize product catalog when opening Alibaba store.

- Plan production in accordance with global consumer trends.
