January
The January sales report of the Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers’ Association–the VAMA–has found that vehicle sales of the group’s members fell more than 42 percent in January compared to December. The fall was in passenger vehicles, trucks, and hybrids. Sales of buses and special-purpose vehicles recorded 12.69 percent and 12.22 percent growth, respectively.
That said, most businesses were closed for the last week of January for the Lunar New Year break and in this context this fall in sales looks to be seasonal.
Note that the VAMA sales numbers are of members of the organisation only and even then some members do not provide data. With this in mind, this data is only a partial representation of Vietnam’s automotive industry.

August
The Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers’ Association–the VAMA–August sales report has found that vehicle sales of the group’s members decreased significantly in August over July, falling about 14 percent. That fall was mostly confined to passenger vehicles with commercial vehicles–trucks and buses–collectively rising by 2 percent.
Local media has suggested the fall in car sales may be connected to ‘Ghost Month’ on the lunar calendar which, this year, went from August 4 to September 2. During Ghost Month superstitious Vietnamese avoid making extravagant purchases–cars, for example.
Year on year sales are also down about 3 percent, which is in line with broader economic challenges, however, car imports have averaged 13,328 units a month so far this year which is up from an average of 9,612 in 2023.
Note that the VAMA sales numbers are of members of the organisation only and even then some members do not provide data. With this in mind, this data is only a partial representation of Vietnam’s automotive industry.

Year on year sales are also down, which is in line with broader economic challenges, however, car imports in Vietnam have averaged 12,317 units a month so far this year which is up from an average of 10,559 in 2023.
