Vietnam Used Car Market Overview and Size

Vietnam‘s used car market experienced a slow down between 2015 and 2021 on the basis of gross transaction value. The decline in GTV as well as sales volume of used car industry is attributed to various government initiatives to support the growth of domestic automotive industry, and policies implemented such as reduction in import tax to 0% for cars imported from ASEAN region. Historically, motor bikes have always remained the top choice among the consumers due to high concentration of population belonging to rural regions having low purchasing power. However, due to rapid urbanization and fast-growing middle class, the demand for new passenger cars has been growing significantly in recent times which in turn is contributing to the growth of automotive industry. Also, increased awareness on health and hygiene followed by the advent of COVID-19 is acting as a catalyst for the shift in consumer’s preference towards availing private transportation medium compared to public transportation. Leveraging the growing internet penetration rate, various online classified players launched their operation in Vietnam post 2013, such as Oto and Carmudi. The increasing preference of consumers towards availing digital medium for their purchases has enhanced the sales prospect via C2C channel through classified platforms.

Sedans remained the most popular car type in the country due to its affordable price and higher average life as compared to Hatchback and MPVs. SUV’s accounted the second highest market share followed by Hatchbacks, and MPVs.

By Vehicle Age (0-3 years, 3-5 years, 5-7 years, More than 7 years): Used cars under the age bracket of 0-3 years accounted for highest market share in 2021 attributed to the average depreciation rate of new vehicles in Vietnam which is around 3 years due to poor road condition which leads to wear and tear.
