The Vietnam Centre for Protection of Music Copyright (VCPMC), under the Vietnam Musicians’ Association, collected more than 424.3 billion VND (16.15 million USD) in music royalties in 2025, marking an 8% increase from 2024. The highest individual payout reached 4 billion VND, while many others earned between 2.5 billion and 3 billion VND. During the year, VCPMC distributed nearly 269 billion VND in royalties to rights holders, up 5% from 2024. Royalties for the fourth-quarter distribution are being finalised and are expected to be paid before the Lunar New Year, with an estimated total of 120 billion VND. According to the office, the VCPMC’s achievements in 2025 show that collective copyright management in Vietnam has become increasingly mature and made significant progress.
