In the days leading up to Tet, the fireworks market in Ho Chi Minh City is much more bustling as the number of customers coming to buy has increased sharply compared to the same period in previous years. Besides the demand of people buying for household use, many businesses also choose fireworks to serve year-end parties.
Mr. Phan Minh Tien, living in Tan Thuan ward, said that for about 3 years now, he has regularly used fireworks manufactured by the Ministry of National Defense. According to him, the price of these products is relatively reasonable, and more importantly, it creates peace of mind in the process of buying, selling, transporting and using.
Buying at genuine distribution stores helps me have all the necessary papers. With goods sold on social networks, I am not sure whether the product is safe or legally sufficient, so I still prioritize genuine goods to avoid risks" - Mr. Tien shared.
Recorded from the business unit, Ms. Le Thi Hong Phuong - Head of Fireworks store No. 3 said that the purchasing power of firecrackers this year in the Ho Chi Minh City market increased 2-3 times compared to previous years. Notably, instead of focusing on buying around December 25-26 of the lunar calendar as usual, this year customers have come to the store very early.
Many regular customers actively pre-order in large quantities. In addition to people buying for Tet, some businesses and companies also buy firecrackers early" - Ms. Phuong said.
According to the store representative, this year's firecracker products also have many improvements in design and effect. The height of the firecracker, sound and lighting have all been significantly upgraded, in which the height is 2-3 times higher than previous year's models, bringing a more impressive visual experience to users.
Faced with the increasing demand for fireworks during the 2026 Lunar New Year, Factory Z121 has promoted production automation, expanded production lines, increased capacity; and at the same time strengthened solutions to identify and combat counterfeit and fake goods.
With early increase in purchasing power and diverse demand, the fireworks market in Ho Chi Minh City is forecast to continue to be vibrant in the peak days near Tet, while showing a trend of consumption increasingly focusing on safety and product origin.
