Motorbike production in Vietnam is a cornerstone of the country’s economy and a reflection of its unique transport culture.
With one of the highest motorbike ownership rates in the world, Vietnam is not only a massive consumer market but also a key global manufacturing and export hub.
Vietnam’s motorbike production is a mix of assembly for the domestic market and export.
The country’s favorable business environment and relatively low labor costs have made it an attractive manufacturing destination for global brands.
While the production is largely focused on assembly, there is a growing push to increase the “localization rate”—the percentage of components and parts sourced from domestic suppliers—to reduce reliance on imports and develop local supporting industries.
