The Vietnam automotive loan market is witnessing
robust growth owing to the growing number of new financed cars because of consumers'
preference
shift away from motorcycles to cars and rising purchasing power. This increase

has not enough savings. By using automotive loans, an individual can
purchase a vehicle outright by obtaining out a loan from a bank or another
financial institution. Then, over a specified period of time, one must repay
the loan in equal monthly instalments together with interest.

automobiles in Vietnam was around 304,149 units. According to Vietnam Register,
there were 4.512 million cars in use as of 2021, or 46 vehicles per 1,000
inhabitants. Vietnamese citizens would need to save money for 12 years to
purchase a car worth VND 600 million (USD30,000) with the average monthly
income of VND 4.25 million (USD 180) in 2020.Thus, to purchase the vehicle,

opportunities in the country. As Vietnam has a middle-income economy, it is
expected that most consumers will prefer a longer loan term to buy commercial
vehicles because the instalments will be more affordable due to the lower
monthly payments which is driving the automotive loan industry in Vietnam.
