Several automakers are considering assembling their best-selling models in Việt Nam due to the Government’s policy of zero import tariffs on components and a 50 per cent reduction in registration fees.
Vietnamese market saw February automobile sale of more than 17,600 units, marking a year-on-year increase of 41 per cent, according to statistics from the Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (VAMA).
Nearly 400,000 cars were sold in the Vietnamese market in 2019 thanks to valuable gift and discount programmes, which were launched at the beginning of the year.
Sales of automobiles saw a month-on-month decline of 19 per cent to about 21,480 vehicles in August, according to the Vietnam Automobile Manufacturer Association (VAMA).
With a continuous year-on-year decline in sales this year, the domestic auto industry is unlikely to achieve the 10 per cent growth predicted by the Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (VAMA).
The Vietnamese auto market sold nearly 26,900 cars in March, an increase of 52 per cent compared with the previous month, according to a Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers’ Association report.
Automobiles which are priced higher in Viet Nam than in regional
countries is the reason for the sluggish development of the automobile
industry, experts say.
Cars with various engine displacement values are expected to enjoy a
rebate in the special consumption tax in Viet Nam as of July 1 2016,
according to a revised draft on Tax Law issued by the Ministry of
Finance recently.
