Outlook for Automotive Technology

According to the statistics of 2018-2021, car sales volume was on an upward trend in 2018 with 276,800 units and increased to 305,600 units in 2019. This trend means that people’s demand for car ownership is increasing. People are accepting and tending to use cars as a means of daily transportation.

In 2020, the trend of buying cars was a bit volatile. Car sales fall. That was understandable because the economy was greatly affected by the Covid pandemic, the demand for movement was limited. People tended to save more, so purchasing power decreased, but the number was still high at 284,000 units in 2020 and 277,200 units in 2021.

The economic situation is going down due to the Pandemic, but Vietnam still surpassed the Philippines to become the 4th largest auto market in the region in 2020. In 2021, the government will apply a 50% reduction in registration fees for assembled cars and domestically produced cars. Thus leading to a wave of car buying in the last months of 2021.

Great opportunities in the Automotive Industry in Vietnam

Vietnam joins the FTA

Vietnam joins the FTA, opening up opportunities for people to own a high-quality car at a cheaper price than before, because the import tax will be reduced to 0%. Middle-income families may also have the opportunity to own a car at a cheaper price. This was almost impossible before because the tax applied to imported cars was very high, which pushed up the price of cars.

Support from the State

The state issued regulations to reduce 50% of the registration fee from December 2021 to May 2022. At the same time, it also extended tax payment for domestically produced cars. The Ministry of Industry and Trade promotes the auto industry in many ways, including cooperation with Toyota to improve the localization rate. It is an opportunity for domestic automobile manufacturing companies to develop and also an opportunity for consumers to decide to buy a car during this time.
