Worldwide automobile industry is growing at a rapid pace as many countries are going through the phase of economic development. And the same scenario is applicable for Vietnam too in South-East Asia.

Vietnam automobile industry was loosing track till 2005 but it recovered in the year 2006 and posted a good growth rate in South-East Asian countries. Changing lifestyle and rising spending in automobile-related parts in Vietnam has propelled the growth of automobile industry in the country. Apart from that, Vietnamâ€™s entry to WTO has made the conditions favorable for foreign manufactures as the Vietnamese government has reduced the auto-component import tax in 2006. Though Vietnam was more of a motorcycle-oriented country in past years, its passenger car segment witnessed a good growth after Vietnam joined WTO. Rising income and flexible bank loan structure has incited the growth in passenger car segment.

Increased disposable income has increased the purchasing power of Vietnamese and flexible car loan is considered to be a good supporter of passenger car sales in future (2007-2010). Till 2006, spending on buses, coaches, and taxis had increased and it is showing high demand for road transportation. In this scenario, cost effective and low cost passenger cars may see a healthy future ahead.
