Vietnam’s motorbike industry
Motorbike manufacturing is one of Vietnam’s largest and most mature manufacturing industries, anchored by major Japanese and regional producers alongside a growing network of local suppliers.
Vietnam is among the world’s top motorbike producers and consumers, with production historically focused on domestic demand and regional exports in Southeast Asia and nearby emerging markets.
