Vietnam Bus Industry Research Report 2023-2032

Vietnam Bus Industry Research Report 2023-2032

Commercial buses are an important means of transportation for carrying large numbers of passengers and their belongings, and are a type of commercial vehicle that operates within and between cities. With its large population and vast area, Vietnam has a high demand for commercial buses in metropolitan areas or in rural areas with poor infrastructure.

Vietnam has a well-developed tourism industry that attracts millions of tourists every year to visit the country. Bus travel is a popular and affordable way to see Vietnam, and with buses connecting most of the major towns and cities, it is very convenient for tourists and the demand for road passenger transportation is growing. With the economic development of the region, increased investment in infrastructure development, and the gradual improvement of highway conditions, Vietnam's bus industry has great potential for future development.

In 2022, Vietnam received only 3.6 million tourists, about 18% of the 19 million tourists before the Covid-19 pandemic. As the economy recovers and tourism gradually recovers, CRI expects Vietnam's visitor arrivals to grow rapidly in 2023.

From 2018 to 2022, Vietnam's bus sales volume shows a general trend of first decline and then increase, with a CAGR of -22.19% from 2018 to 2022, and a 70.05% year-on-year decrease in sales in 2020, which is the largest five-year decline in the past.In 2022, Vietnam's bus sales volume for the whole year was 3,830 units, an increase of 87.75% year-on-year.

In December 2021, Vietnam's first electric bus was officially put into service in the city of Hanoi, which will invest about VND21 trillion ($887.27 million at the current exchange rate) over the next few years in replacing all gasoline- and diesel-powered buses with electric alternatives, according to an analysis by CRI. Vietnam's vinbus, a manufacturer of electric buses, said the number of buses replaced by electric buses in Hanoi will reach 225 by 2025, accounting for 21.3 percent of the total.

Under the Government Action Plan for Green Energy Transition and Reduction of Carbon and Methane Emissions, the Vietnamese government aims to have 100 percent of new public transit buses powered by electricity or green energy from 2025; at least half of all vehicles and all new cabs will be powered by electricity or green energy from 2030; and 100 percent of all buses and cabs will be powered by electricity or green energy by 2050.

With the recovery of Vietnam's tourism industry, the continued growth of the passenger transportation sector, and the gradual replacement of fuel buses by electric buses, CRI expects Vietnam's bus sales to reach 25,900 units by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.2% over the 2023-2032 period.

CRI suggests that for foreign-funded bus brands, they can initially enter the Vietnamese market through whole-vehicle export, or CKD, and if they get better results in the Vietnamese market, they can consider setting up their own factories in Vietnam, or looking for local partners to set up joint-venture factories in Vietnam.
