Vietnam Two Wheeler Market, By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2020-2030F

The Vietnam Two Wheeler Market was valued at USD 9.21 Billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 14.78 Billion by 2030, rising at a CAGR of 8.20%. The nation’s dependence on two-wheelers stems from its densely populated cities, limited public transport, and cultural affinity for motorcycles as both economic and lifestyle tools. Urbanization, projected to reach 40% by 2030, further fuels this trend. With over 74 million motorcycles on the road by the end of 2023, Vietnam remains one of the world’s highest two-wheeler penetrated countries.

Two-wheelers offer affordability, maneuverability, and suitability for short commutes, making them ideal for cities like Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi. A burgeoning middle class and rising disposable incomes are pushing consumers towards mid-range and premium vehicles, encouraging international brands to expand their presence. Electrification is another powerful trend, driven by government incentives, falling battery costs, and green consumer preferences. Domestic manufacturers like VinFast, Dat Bike, and PEGA are challenging legacy ICE players by launching efficient, connected electric models.

Key Market Drivers

Urbanization and Traffic Congestion

Vietnam's rapid urbanization has put immense pressure on city infrastructure. As per the General Statistics Office (GSO), nearly 37.3% of working-aged Vietnamese lived in urban areas in 2023, up from 34.4% in 2015. Cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City witness dense traffic, leading to an increasing demand for agile, space-efficient vehicles. Two-wheelers provide a cost-effective and practical alternative to cars, particularly for daily commuting and short-distance travel.

The continued rise of ride-hailing and delivery services using motorcycles has also added to the demand. Two-wheelers provide a compact and fuel-efficient solution for navigating narrow streets and traffic snarls. With limited parking infrastructure, motorcycles remain the preferred commuting choice. Moreover, the rise in gig-based delivery services - such as Grab, Gojek, and Baemin - has boosted demand for two-wheelers as commercial tools. Daily riders benefit from reduced commute times and operating costs, reinforcing the two-wheeler’s central role in Vietnam’s mobility landscape.

Key Market Challenges

Inadequate Charging Infrastructure for EVs

Although electric two-wheelers are gaining traction, Vietnam’s charging infrastructure remains underdeveloped. Most users depend on home-charging solutions, which are not feasible for apartment dwellers or urban residents with shared housing. While companies like VinFast and Dat Bike are setting up public charging stations, the pace of development is slow. According to the Ministry of Transport, fewer than 1,000 public EV charging points existed nationwide in 2024. The lack of standardized battery swapping and charging protocols further hinders market penetration.

Key Market Trends

Rise of Electric Two-Wheelers and Battery Innovation

Vietnam is witnessing a major shift toward electric mobility, with domestic production of e-scooters seeing growth. Manufacturers are investing in next-gen battery technologies such as solid-state and graphene-enhanced lithium-ion batteries. Companies like VinFast have begun integrating IoT-based battery management systems (BMS) to provide predictive analytics and remote diagnostics. Furthermore, government programs promoting lithium-ion recycling and second-life battery applications are creating a more sustainable ecosystem.
