Ninja Van to cease express delivery services in Vietnam

Ninja Van Vietnam will end all express delivery services, including B2C and business-to-business, as part of a company restructuring plan.

The logistics provider said the move is intended to reallocate resources and focus on new logistics service models.

Ninja Van Vietnam will stop accepting new orders for express delivery from September 8, 2025, and will process all existing shipments by September 26, 2025.

Shipments that cannot be delivered will be returned to customers by September 30, 2025.

Customer support channels will remain open until the end of September.

Contracts related to express delivery between Ninja Van Vietnam and its clients will end on September 30, 2025.

🧠 Food for thought

1️⃣ Regional logistics consolidation reflects broader industry pressures

Ninja Van’s Vietnam exit is part of a wider consolidation trend affecting Southeast Asian logistics companies facing significant financial strain.

The company’s valuation has already dropped from $1.5 billion to $1 billion as the logistics tech sector grapples with funding slowdowns and operational margin pressures1.

This financial pressure is evident across Ninja Van’s operations, with their Thailand revenue plummeting by 89% in 2023, demonstrating how quickly market conditions can deteriorate in individual countries1.

The Vietnam shutdown follows recent layoffs of 12% of Ninja Van’s Singapore workforce in August 2025, indicating the company is restructuring operations across multiple markets rather than pursuing aggressive expansion2.

2️⃣ Market exits reveal the challenge of sustaining logistics networks across diverse markets

Ninja Van’s strategic withdrawal from Vietnam highlights how difficult it is for logistics companies to maintain profitable operations across Southeast Asia’s fragmented markets.

The company is pivoting toward “tech-enabled B2B restocking and cold chain logistics” while exiting traditional delivery services, suggesting that broad consumer delivery models may not be sustainable in all markets3.
