Vietnam's Dairy Pride: Vinamilk Makes Headlines at Growth Asia Summit with 6-HMO Breakthrough

SINGAPORE, July 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- At the Growth Asia Summit 2025, which took place from July 15–17 in Singapore, Vinamilk was honored to be the only Vietnamese company invited as a keynote speaker. The Growth Asia Summit is the largest forum for growth opportunities in the food, beverage, and nutrition industries in Asia. The brand made a remarkable impression with its innovative 6-HMO infant formula, setting a new standard in pediatric nutrition and paving the way for the dairy industry in Asia. Vinamilk's presence at the Summit is symbolic; it reflects the nation's transformation from a country once struggling with post-war milk shortages into a rising nutrition powerhouse with Vinamilk at its forefront. The company currently ranks sixth globally for dairy brand value and was recognized as the most valuable food and beverage brand in Southeast Asia in Brand Finance's Food and Drink 2023 ranking. Additionally, it is the only Vietnamese dairy company featured in the Fortune Southeast Asia 500 ranking (2024), underscoring its strong market presence in the region. In Vietnam, around 55% of infants are not exclusively breastfed during their first six months [1]. This means many babies may miss out on the full range of benefits found in breast milk, especially human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), which support gut and immune development. To address this gap, Vinamilk pioneered Vietnam's first formula containing six HMOs [2] –nutrients naturally found in breast milk—to enhance both digestive and immune health. This solution is particularly impactful in a country where nearly 60% of working mothers struggle to balance both work and family commitments. This challenge is not unique to Vietnam. Across Asia, exclusive breastfeeding rates remain modest, reaching only 52.9% in the Asia-Pacific and 48.3% in Southeast Asia [3] primarily due to lifestyle shifts, work demands, and social pressure. This is why nutrition solutions that closely mimic breast milk, such as Vinamilk's 6-HMO innovation, received extensive attention from the Summit's expert community. "I commend Vinamilk's breakthrough not only for advancing nutritional science with Vietnam's first 6-HMO formula, but also for its empathetic, consumer-centric approach. This is a valuable contribution to the Summit's mission of seeking comprehensive health solutions—not just in terms of nutrition, but also in creating positive social impact, especially for women and children," said Gary Scattergood, Editor-in-Chief of FoodNavigator Asia and NutraIngredients Asia, the Summit's organizing entities. Once a market dominated by imported dairy products, Vietnam is now home to Vinamilk, the first local brand not only to catch up, but to lead regional innovation in pediatric nutrition. While the market had plateaued at 5-HMO formulas since 2021, Vinamilk chose not to compromise and instead accelerated its R&D efforts to break this ceiling. In 2023, Vinamilk entered strategic partnerships with six leading global nutrition companies (DSM – Switzerland, Novonesis, formerly Chr. Hansen – Denmark, Beneo – Germany, Gnosis – Italy, AAK – Sweden, and Kanematsu – Japan) to enhance scientific capability and innovation in infant formula development. The launch of the Optimum line, powered by a 6-HMO formula that accounts for approximately 58% of the total HMO composition found in natural breast milk [4], exemplifies the successful integration of research and international collaboration. The 6-HMO innovation brings significant benefits for infant digestion and immunity. It mimics critical oligosaccharides in breast milk, fosters the development of beneficial gut bacteria in infants and protects against pathogens. The formulation also includes both difucosyllactose (DFL) and 3-fucosyllactose (3-FL), two HMOs that are rarely found together in other commercial infant formulas. Nguyen Quang Tri, Chief Marketing Officer of Vinamilk, stated, "Our 6-HMO breakthrough not only raises nutritional standards, but also helps support parents navigating breastfeeding challenges. At Vinamilk, we believe that when parents are happy, a child's development is more complete. We believe this message doesn't just apply to Vietnam – it resonates with millions of parents across Asia." Vinamilk's contribution to the Growth Asia Summit 2025 signals a new chapter in Vietnam's innovation journey. From a country that once had no dairy industry and lagged in nutrition science, Vietnam, through Vinamilk, is stepping into the global spotlight, confidently shaping new standards in pediatric care: proactive, empathetic, and pioneering.

Amul is now top Indian food brand, second place goes to...; check full list here

Amul is the food brand in India. (File) Amul has retained its top spot as the food brand in India, with a brand valuation of $4.1 billion, while another dairy-focused firm, Mother Dairy, stood second, with a brand value pegged at $1.15 billion, according to the latest report by UK-based consultancy Brand Finance. As per the report, FMCG giant Britannia ranks third on the list, followed by Karnataka's Nandini dairy cooperative at fourth, and Dabur at fifth. Where do Amul and Mother Diary rank on list of top 100 Indian brands? Notably, Amul, which is marketed by Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), also features on the Brand Finance list of top 100 Indian brands across all sectors. The dairy cooperative is ranked 17th, while its main competitor, Delhi-based Mother Dairy, jumped six spots to rank 35th on the list. Commenting on the ranking, Jayen Mehta, Managing Director of GCMMF, said the achievement was a result of consumer trust and collective efforts by dairy farmers who are part of the cooperative. 'The achievement is a testament to the collective efforts of millions of dairy farmers and our unwavering commitment to providing high-quality, affordable food and dairy products to consumers,' Mehta was quoted as saying by the Business Standard. 'As Amul continues to grow and expand its footprint, both in India and internationally, this achievement reinforces our responsibility to uphold the trust placed in us by generations of Indian households,' he added.

'Our rise among top five Indian food brands and also in India's top 100 brands across industries reflects more than numbers — it reflects the trust earned, relevance sustained, and the resilience of a brand that continues to evolve,' Bandlish said, according to the report. In an earlier report with the publication, the Mother Dairy MD had revealed the company's expansion plans, stating that the board had already approved around Rs 1,500 crore of investment combined in terms of Safal and dairy.

Emaar Properties emerges as fastest-growing real estate brand, ROSHN Group debuts as major player: Brand Finance

Dubai-based real estate company Emaar Properties (brand value up 58 percent to $4.0 billion) has emerged as the fastest-growing real estate brand ranked for the year, propelling the brand to move up six positions to rank fourth overall, according to new data from global valuation brand consultancy firm Brand Finance. This was largely driven by strong demand in the Dubai property market and the successful execution of key development projects in areas such as The Valley, Dubai Hills Estate, Dubai South, and The Oasis, the Real Estate Services 25 2025 noted. This supports the brand's strong upward trajectory since 2021, during which it has more than tripled in value from $1.5 billion (167 percent increase). ROSHN Group's notable debut Saudi Arabia's ROSHN Group (brand value at $1.1 billion), a new entrant to the real estate rankings, debuts as the 24th most valuable real estate brand globally, Brand Finance highlighted. Its rapid rise reflects an ambitious growth strategy, supported by a bold rebrand in late 2024 to signal its shift from residential housing to a multi-asset real estate group. The company aims to deliver over 400,000 homes, contributing to Saudi Arabia's national homeownership goals. Its expanding portfolio includes residential, retail, commercial, and hospitality assets, as well as enabling infrastructure such as education and healthcare. With strong investment, high-profile partnerships, and record-breaking launches, ROSHN Group is well-positioned to become a major force in the global real estate sector. Meanwhile, JLL (brand value up 3 percent to $1.3 billion) climbed up five places from 2024 to rank 20th this year. JLL's investment into technology and emerging trends such as AI-powered solutions like 'JLL Falcon' has enabled it to provide its clients with data-driven insights and enhanced decision-making capabilities. Brand Finance also released its inaugural Commercial Real Estate 5 2025 sub-ranking as part of the Real Estate Services 25 2025 report. American brand CBRE (brand value at $3.2 billion) made an impressive debut in the rankings, claiming top spot ahead of JLL (brand value at $1.3 billion), and Cushman & Wakefield (brand value at $619 million). CBRE's strength lies in a smartly diversified business model that has allowed it to grow steadily while staying resilient to market shifts. The brand has seen strong momentum in workplace solutions, leasing and property management, alongside solid gains from strategic acquisitions like W&J Worldwide and the integration of Turner & Townsend.

Alex Haigh, managing director Asia Pacific, Brand Finance, commented: 'Chinese real estate brands continue to lead the global rankings, but the momentum is clearly shifting. With most of the major players in China experiencing a decline in brand value, and others from regions such as the Middle East and the U.S. showing strong growth, the competitive landscape is becoming more dynamic. China still holds a dominant position in terms of overall value, and the leading brand retains its top ranking despite significant challenges. However, staying ahead will increasingly depend on how well these brands adapt to shifting market conditions, intensifying international competition, and evolving consumer expectations.' The report reveals that most Chinese real estate brands ranked saw their brand value decline this year as market challenges grow, opening the door for rising players from the U.S. and Middle East to make their mark. China's resilience amidst a crisis For the third year in a row, Vanke (brand value down 29 percent to $7.4 billion) holds onto its title as the world's most valuable real estate brand ranked. Its continued lead highlights the brand's resilience, even as China's property crisis weighs heavily on the sector. Vanke also claimed the title of the strongest real estate brand ranked in 2025, with a Brand Strength Index (BSI) score of 92.7/100 and a AAA+ brand strength rating. According to Brand Finance's market research, this boost reflects the brand's strong recognition and familiarity among Chinese consumers. China Resources Land (brand value down 2 percent to $7.1 billion) ranks as the second most valuable real estate brand for the second consecutive year. Poly Development (brand value up 5 percent to $6.7 billion) retains third place, also for the second consecutive year. In a tough market, Poly Development has managed to edge forward, showing steady progress where many others have slipped.
