Among members, Honda Vietnam accounts for nearly 80 percentof market share of motorbikes.

Several members also export motorbikes to many countries andterritories.

According to experts, purchasing power dropped by over 4percent in the first quarter due to the traditional Lunar New Year festival andthe impacts of COVID-19 pandemic.

Motorbike market is considered saturated because manyconsumers have chosen automobiles with cheaper prices instead.

Due to traffic congestion, air and dust pollution in Hanoiand Ho Chi Minh City, many people have chosen public transport means, thuscontributing to reducing vehicle sales during the period./.
