Masan Group was among the first domestic Vietnamese corporations to adopt a growth strategy that taps foreign sources of capital for acquisition-driven expansion. In April 2011, the group's subsidiary Masan Consumer Corp. became the recipient of Vietnam's largest private-equity investment when KKR paid US$159 million for a 10% stake in the company.[3] This investment was viewed as a validation of Vietnam's M&A potential.[4]

The company was founded by its chairman, Nguyen Dang Quang, who following a doubling of the share price in the six months to January 2018, had a net worth of US$1.2 billion.[5]

In December 2019, Masan Group acquired a controlling stake in VinGroup's retail division VinCommerce, which operates under the VinMart brand.[6]
