Rising Economic Growth and Limited Car Ownership Strengthen Growth of Passenger Vehicles Market in Vietnam despite High Prices

Consistent national economic growth, since 2006, is making the Vietnamese vehicle market increasingly attractive for investment. High per capita income has led to an increase in disposable income and purchasing power for the rising middle-aged population group, which is expected to opt for newer vehicles. About 46.7 per cent of Vietnam's population is in the car buying age group and considerable passenger vehicle sales can be expected at suitable price points, notes the analyst of this research service.

The automotive industry in Vietnam enjoys preferential treatment from the Government, which imposed high tariffs and import duties on imported cars and components that could be produced domestically, giving the locally assembled products a tremendous price advantage. Yet, the entry of international luxury car brands created an impressive growth in the luxury car market in the last few years. The total automotive sales is expected to grow by 3.5 per cent in 2011 to reach 116, 152 units, as the market recovers along with the country's economy. Passenger vehicles will continue to be the most popular segment in 2011 with sales of around 59, 237 units. However, the consumers in Vietnam are expected to show a higher preference for smaller fuel-efficient cars.
