Oakfield Sector Compass

Sector scans that read how new retail formats actually trade

We walk corridors, map adjacencies, and write briefings for operators deciding whether an emerging format belongs on a given floor plate or street stretch in Vietnam.

Emerging Retail Format Sector Scan

A multi-week field study of one format family across agreed districts, delivered as a written scan plus a briefing call—built for capital and lease decisions, not abstract market essays.

You receive store-level observations, format strengths and weak spots, and open questions your team should settle before signing. Typical duration is three to five weeks, from 28,000,000 VND depending on district count.

Best suited to retail operators, brand expansion leads, and centre teams weighing a new concept before committing frontage.

“The sector scan on flexible beauty formats gave our expansion team a clear map of which malls could take a 40-square-metre unit without crowding neighbouring salons. We still had to renegotiate one delivery window the report flagged early.”

“Their district walkthrough of the Nguyen Trai stretch was blunt about evening footfall. Useful, even when it shortened our shortlist.”
