There were many factors affecting volume of domestic car production: • In the first and second quarters, the effects of the epidemic on the entire production chain already took it toll on Vietnam's imports. Moreover, many large automobile manufacturers in Vietnam such as Ford, Toyota, Honda and TC Motor all had to stop production during March. Though some Thaco facilities are still operating, workers and production chain are still under social distancing. This is the main reason for the significant decline in car production • Since the end of June, with support from the government by reducing 50% of registration fee compared to previous amount and extending payment term for excise tax, a new door of opportunities has opened for domestic automobile production. According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, car consumption in 2020 will decrease, but only by 3 - 5% compared to 2019. Therefore, many car manufacturers including FDI enterprises are considering maintaining operation, or even expanding production in the context of the government’s support.

After the surge from the second half of 2018 to the end of 2019, domestic demand for cars has been negatively affected by the epidemic. Luxury goods such as cars will suffer even more in the context of all goods stagnation; only a few essential items can maintain steady sales. All VAMA members recorded a plunge in sales; many businesses had to 0% stop production and close local car dealerships to avoid incurring losses. To -20% cope with decreasing demand, companies simultaneously reduced prices to -40% stimulate demand with preferential packages of up to thousands of USD. In addition, VAMA also proposed to the government to be exempt from Source: VIRAC, GSO registration tax to incentivize automobile businesses.

The proportion of car consumption has also shifted very unfavorably for locally assembled and manufactured vehicles. In 2018, the consumption of imported cars only reached 25% of the total volume of cars, but by 2019, this rate reached 41.2%. • Until early 2020, the car market is bleak; the volume of CBU imported cars, though cheap, still plummeted due to a decrease in demand. According to VAMA in the first 9 months of 2020, Vietnam consumed 65,074 CBU imported cars, a decrease of 30.5% compared to the same period in 2019. • In addition to the joining of VinFast, Toyota Vietnam has recently returned to the domestic assembly of the Fortuner model after 2 years of import. Accordingly, Toyota will buy more land to expand the factory as well as build a test track, aiming to increase capacity to 90,000 cars/year by 2023. VIETNAM AUTOMOBILES MARKET REPORT 11 1.1.

After this time if not completed, the vehicle must be reexported or exported. Reduce special consumption tax for cars below 2.0L • According to the roadmap for adjusting the special consumption tax passed by the National Assembly at the 11th session of the 13th National Assembly. From January 1, 2018, cars with 9 seats or less, equipped with engines below 1.5L will apply the special consumption tax of 35%. • Meanwhile, the special excise tax on cars equipped with engines that have a capacity of fewer than 2.0 liters will be 40%, a decrease of 5% compared to 2017. This will partly affect the car prices from 2018. VIETNAM AUTOMOBILES MARKET REPORT 20 1.3.

Business Environment – Government policy Changing the regulations on the price to calculate the special consumption tax on imported vehicles under 24 seats. ❖ Before January 1st, 2016: ➢ Producers: Price to calculate the special consumption tax = Factory price (including production and sales costs + profit) ➢ Exporters: Price to calculate the special consumption tax = CIF price + import tax ❖ Since January 1st, 2016: According to Decree No.108/2015/ND-CP, the price to calculate the special consumption tax on automobile is: ➢ Producers: Price to calculate the special consumption tax = Factory price (including production and sales costs + profit) *The factory price is not lower than 105% of the price of commercial retailers. ➢ Exporters: Price to calculate the special consumption tax (wholesale price) = Cost of goods sold + costs (shipping, advertising, sales) + profit *In which the wholesale price is not lower than 105% of the cost of goods sold. With the calculation of special consumption tax based on the wholesale price of importers will help curb the commercial fraud and the situation of transferring price through marketing, product promotion costs or declaring the business income tax to pay less (the special consumption tax for automobile is 45-60% while business income tax is only 22% of profits). At the same time, this provision would cause the price of imported automobiles to increase by at least 5% of the current price, which is advantageous for companies distributing locally assembled vehicles, also bringing long-term benefits due to the development of domestic production. Besides, in 2018, the tax rate on imported CBU automobiles will be 0%, while the import tariff on component still remain 20-25% (depending on components and the import market), keeping the current calculation of special consumption tax will cause the amount of taxes paid on CBU vehicles to fall sharply, making them be more advantages than domestically produced items. Therefore, the tax rate must be in line with the CKD parts for businesses to maintain local production, instead of collecting foreign currencies to import. VIETNAM AUTOMOBILES MARKET REPORT 22 1.3.

In which, there are provisions relating to registration fee applicable to cars: From April 10, 2019, pick-ups and vans will have to pay the first registration fee equal to 60% of the initial fee of cars with less than 9 seats. Thus, with the current registration fee of 10% for cars of less than 9 seats, registration fee for pick-ups applied from April 10, 2019 will be 6%, increasing 3 times higher than the previous 2%. Particularly in Hanoi, the registration fee for pick-ups and vans will be higher than other localities, at 7.2% due to the current registration fee of passenger cars of less than 9 seats at 12%. The pick-ups truck is considered a multipurpose vehicle with tonnage of less than 1.5 tons, suitable for both city and rural use thanks to its ability to carry people and cargo at the same time, so businesses import complete built-up ones to Vietnam for distribution. In particular, this is a car with comfortable equipment and modern technology but has the advantage of low registration fee (only 2%) making this car the choice of many people. VIETNAM AUTOMOBILES MARKET REPORT 25 1.3. Business Environment – Government policy In 2020, due to Covid-19’s impacts, domestic automobile industry was benefiting from three recently government incentive policies: (1) 50% reduction in registration fees for domestically-produced or assembled vehicles in effect from June 28 to the end of 2020. (2) Allow automakers who met the requirements of outputs to enjoy zero import tariffs for automobile components which could not have been produced domestically, helps cutting production costs by 2-2.5%. (3) Extension of the deadline for the payment of Special Consumption Tax on domestically produced and assembled cars till the end of 2020. ➔ These policies would help lower production and service costs, making cars more affordable to more people. On February 5, 2020, the Government loosen conditions for importing cars by issuing Decree No.17/2020 – on adjustments and supplements to Government Decree No.116/2017 stipulating regulations on car manufacture, assembly, imports and warranty services. Automobile importers in Vietnam will no longer have to obtain a Vehicle Type Approval (VTA) certificate from authorities in exporting countries, making it easier for them to import cars into the country. Decree No.17/2020 has also relaxed its rules on clearance procedures for imported cars. Overall, Decree No.17/2020 helps reduce the amount of time needed for the clearance process and lower the costs for inspections, testing and storage for automobile importers. ➢ For imported cars: To annul regulations on type quality certificates specified in Clause 11, Article 3 of Decree 116. ➢ For automobile manufacturing and assembling enterprises: • To annul the regulation that there must be persons in charge of automobile production and assembly lines having university or higher degree in the mechanics and automobile disciplines and have experience in automobile manufacture and assembly. at least 5 years as prescribed in Clause 2, Article 7 of Decree 116; • To annul the regulations on having sufficient manpower and plans to ensure occupational safety and sanitation in accordance with the law on occupational safety and sanitation in Clause 3, Article 7 of Decree 116; • To annul the regulations on the satisfaction of fire prevention and fighting safety conditions and fire-fighting plans in accordance with the law on fire prevention and fighting in Clause 4, Article 7 of Decree 116.

Facing fierce competition from imported cars, especially when the tax rate for cars imported from ASEAN is reduced to 0%, the Government has issued a number of policies aimed at protecting the domestic automobile manufacturing and assembly industry. For example, Decree No.116/2017 tightens business conditions for automobile importers; circular 03/2018 providing for technical safety quality inspection and environmental protection for imported cars; Decree No.125/2017 on the reduction of import tax on car components with terms of annual output is expected to support domestic car manufacturers. EU-Vietnam free trade agreement (EVFTA) In June 2019, the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) was signed after 9 years of negotiation. According to the roadmap, EVFTA can be ratified by the EU in the first half of 2020. According to the regulations, the agreement takes effect 2 months later or at a time agreed by the two sides.

However, production technology is still basic, the localization rate (refer to page No.34 and 35) is still quite low compared to other countries in the region. • In addition, domestically produced cars also have to compete with imported cars from other countries in the ASEAN region (Thailand, Indonesia, ...) as prices for imported cars are relatively lower than that of domestic ones. The domestic automobile industry is on the rise, the number of automobile manufacturing and assembling factories has continuously increased each year, leading to the great attraction of the industry to the workforce. In 2019, there were more than 32 thousand employees in the field of automobile production and assembly, up to 60.4% compared to 2018.

Moreover, when the global value chain moves to the 4.0 value chain, the value added in assembly will be narrower. However, with the Government's support for domestic auto assemblers, Hyundai Thanh Cong, Truong Hai and VinFast are expected to create a triangle for the development of Vietnam's auto manufacturing industry. VIETNAM AUTOMOBILES MARKET REPORT 32 1.3. Business Environment – Automobiles market features • Due to the Price Appraisal Center – Ministry of Finance, until 2020, the cost of producing cars in Vietnam is about 20% higher than that of Thailand and Indonesia: After 25 years of development, Vietnam's automobile industry is still extremely small and weak, not only in comparison with major manufacturing centers in the world but also with other regional countries. • There are about 20 large domestic and foreign assemblers. Domestic production only meets about 60-70% of domestic demand, and this number is on the downward trend in recent years due to increasing competition from imported vehicles. • The weakness of the auxiliary component manufacturing industry and the lack of uniformity in the transport infrastructure is the reason for the slow development of the automobile industry in Vietnam: ➢ Vietnam's automobile industry still depends on imported spare parts, so it is only involved in assembly and distribution of cars in the domestic market. ➢ As a result, domestic manufacturers have to bear the cost of packaging, logistics and import duties on components. This leads to a 20% higher cost of automobile production in Vietnam than Thailand and Indonesia. ➢ The number of Vietnam's automobile manufacturers in 2019 is only about 89, much less than other ASEAN countries. ➢ One of the reasons that make the automobile industry in Vietnam weak is the fact that domestic firms have not yet cooperated, associated and specialized between automobile assembly and production with production of spare parts and components. ➢ Locally-produced products contain very low technology content including tubes, automobile tires, seats, mirrors, glasses, wires, batteries, plastic products. • Tier-1,2,3 suppliers has not been able to cooperate with the car manufacturers: Many domestic supporting companies cannot become partners with car manufacturers because the prices are not competitive compared to imported sources since Vietnam's car output is still low, making suppliers unable to invest in machinery, equipment, technology, and people with such a small market size. Besides, products requiring high technical requirements, the quality of the domestic supplier cannot meet the requirements, and lack of supplier network. • Opportunities for the Vietnamese auto parts production market: ➢ Vietnam is facing the greatest opportunity to become a new manufacturing hub in the world. Manufacturing enterprises continue to move out of China due to rising costs; trade conflicts with the United States, and manufacturers' strategies to minimize dependence on a single market, especially after Covid-19. ➢ The CBRE Vietnam report shows that tier-1 suppliers are expanding rapidly in the Vietnam automobile market, such as Bosche, Schaeffler, and Mitsubishi Motors. Industrial complexes located near ports and car manufacturers will attract new investors. Northern provinces such as Vinh Phuc, Hung Yen, Hai Phong, and Hai Duong are expected to become the focus of investment in the future. VIETNAM AUTOMOBILES MARKET REPORT 33 1.3.

Import Source: VIRAC, VAMA • Heavy reliance on imported raw materials: about 80-90 percent of the main raw materials used to manufacture components are still imported. As a result, companies are required to import approximately USD 2 to 3.5 billion in components and parts for vehicle manufacturing, assembly, and repair each year. • Under-developed local supporting industries: the local automobile industry has not been able to invest in core and high technology products such as engine production and transmission systems. Localized parts are mostly of low technology products such as tires, seats, mirrors, glasses, cable harnesses, batteries, and plastic products. • A latecomer in the automobile industry: Vietnam’s automobile industry only got its proper start in the 2000s, 20 or 30 years after Thailand or Indonesia. This is one of the reasons attributable to the lack of an ecosystem to support the automobile industry in Vietnam. VIETNAM AUTOMOBILES MARKET REPORT 34 1.3.

However, even big joint ventures like Toyota is not able to produce CBU vehicles in Vietnam because the number of enterprises engaged in manufacturing spare parts is too small. • Automobile supporting industry only produces a number of components including components of chassis, car body, cabin cover, car door, tires, radiators, brakes, electric motors, shafts, wheel rims, etc. Therefore, the components and spare parts of automobiles are small in size, types and quantities. • The majority of domestic firms in the automobile supporting industries only provide products to the domestic automobile assembly companies, while the FDI enterprises in the supporting industries only supply products to FDI automobile assembly companies. VIETNAM AUTOMOBILES MARKET REPORT 67 Analysis of domestic tier-1 and tier-2 auto parts production Technical skill is not a major problem of local tier-1 suppliers, but the key barriers for them to engage in the automotive supply chain are high cost, low management skills (production, quality, warehouse, human...), and their perception of safety, environment. What car manufacturers expect from their potential suppliers include an updated and attractive business profile; cost and quality competitiveness; samples following to drawings; entrepreneur’s enthusiasm and perseverance; stable product quality, accurate tolerance; and ability to provide with different scales to different customers. ➔ Recommendations to potential suppliers: To become auto part suppliers and participate in automobile global supply chain, local businesses should: • Take part in auto part supplier databases and business matching programs. • Create attractive business profile. • Improve productivity, cut costs, compete on price and quality. • Improve management capability, and comply to the international norms of doing business. • Obtain international certification for quality, environment.

Entry barriers - Challenges for manufacturers • The small domestic vehicle market does not encourage the development of auto parts industry: Among the existing suppliers, more than 90% are FDI enterprises, only a few local suppliers can participate in the supply chains of auto manufacturers in Vietnam. Compared to Thailand, the number of suppliers in the Vietnam’s automobile industry is too little. Regarding the tier-1 suppliers in 2019, Thailand has nearly 700 enterprises, but Vietnam has only 83 suppliers. • The condition of more number of assemblers sharing smaller and more scatter size makes Vietnam harder to develop supplier networks: The local parts available for auto assemblers are normally labor intensive, simply produced, bulky and heavy parts, such as auto chairs, glasses, tires, wheels, etc. • Vietnam is seeing a major shortage of skilled labor: Only 12% of Vietnam’s 57.5 million-strong workforce are highly skilled, according to recruitment firm ManpowerGroup. A number of Vietnam human capital index rankings is quite low, including know-how and development and education. These limitations can certainly offset any savings in labor costs to make Vietnam a less attractive for many manufacturers since it will be hard for them to find quality labor force to support the automotive industry. • Price: ➢ Low orders quantity due to small car sale volume ➢ Reliance on imported raw materials (must purchase raw materials from suppliers appointed by car manufacturers) ➔ High product selling price • Capability: ➢ Quality management system requirement ➢ Low technical skill ➢ Lack of experience in producing high end products ➢ Weak R&D capacity ➢ Lack of funding sources to purchase modern facilities ➢ Management capacity (late delivery, etc.) ➔ Difficulties to meet high technical requirements from car manufacturers. VIETNAM AUTOMOBILES MARKET REPORT 73 2.2. Entry barriers - Key attractive points of Vietnamese automobiles industry • High potential automobile consumption market ➢ Vietnam’s automobile market has unique characteristics, which differentiates from those of other ASEAN countries: Vietnam has two major markets, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, but others have only one big market in capital city (Indonesia may have two, Jakarta and Surabaya). In Vietnam, potential market seems to have a wider distribution, not only in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, but also in other big cities like Hai Phong, Da Nang. These market characteristics combining with other factors, i.e. demographic dividend, infrastructure, GDP per capital growth will make Vietnam to become a high potential for automobile market in coming years. ➢ High saving rate among family: Average income of a typical family has been increasing year on year, in contrast spent per month has the same trend but at a much lower speed. Therefore, savings has been increased for large spent on houses and expensive stuff like autos. ➢ Loan outstanding balance for individual’s consuming has steady growth speed, reached USD 63.9 billion in 2019.

Entry barriers - Key attractive points of Vietnamese automobiles industry • Auto companies are increasing investments in supporting industries: ➢ On September 22, 2020, TC Motor began construction of the 340 ha Thanh Cong Viet Hung Complex for Automotive Supporting Industries in northern Quang Ninh Province. A spokesperson for the Ninh Binh-based auto firm believed that the complex would attract many companies in the auto ecosystem. ➢ Next to Quang Ninh is the VinFast plant that makes cars, motorbikes and electric bikes in the Dinh Vu-Cat Hai industrial zone in Hai Phong City. A third of the 335-ha plant is used to produce auto and motorbike parts. ➢ Truong Hai (Thaco) making large investments in supporting industries. It currently has 12 plants in the 1,200 ha Chu Lai-Quang Nam industrial zone making both internal and exterior parts for buses, trucks and cars; composite parts; automotive glass; air conditioners for trucks, buses and passenger cars; car body parts and more. • Vietnam young and cheap labor forces: ➢ Vietnam have low labor costs. The country monthly minimum wages in 2019 vary by region from $125 to $180, with the highest rates in urban areas like Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. Besides, Vietnam’s minimum wage growth is showing signs of stability. Minimum wages increased by an average of 5.3% in 2019, a lower increase than in 2018 (6.5%) and 2017 (7.3%). The abundant low-wage labor force is one of the key attractive point in the initial stage of the Vietnamese automotive industry’s development. • Taxes on automobiles and auto parts ➢ The Ministry of Finance has worked on a special consumption tax policy to submit it to the government, proposing to reduce or waive the tax on domestically made car components to help local automobile manufacturers cut costs. ➢ The Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) has also proposed other support policies such as lower corporate income tax for the auto industry and its supporting industries. ➢ The Vietnamese central bank have also been considering policies to increase demand for cars, such as lower loan interest rates for buying domestically produced cars. VIETNAM AUTOMOBILES MARKET REPORT 75 2.2. Entry barriers - Proposals of entry strategy for Korean auto parts manufacturers Reason that urges South Korean investors to pour money into projects on making car parts in Vietnam: • Vietnam’s new regulations, including Decree 116 that tightens control over imported automobiles, “positively influence” South Korean auto firms’ investment decisions. • The saturation of the world market which has led to a drop in exports, domestic sales and manufacturing in South Korea. According to a report by the Korea Automobile Manufacturers Association (KAMA), the country made 2,162,000 vehicles in the first six months of 2017, a 1.5 % year-on-year decline against 2016, marking the lower production since 2010. • The auto industry of South Korea owns an effective supply chain which its leading firms can take of advantage to reach out to international markets. • Vietnam’s strategic geographic location: many Korean auto part manufacturers' major goal is selling automobile parts to Southeast Asia, which may include Vietnam’s VinFast - the automotive arm of conglomerate Vingroup. So the factories, one in place, would help Korean investors reduce the cost and raise the convenience for supplying their products in the Southeast Asian market. General strengths of Korean auto parts manufacturers: • The auto industry of South Korea owns an effective supply chain which its leading firms can take of advantage to reach out to international markets. • Investment from South Korea in Vietnam remains strong. The Northeast Asian country is the second-largest source of foreign direct investment (FDI) for Vietnam in the first six months of this year, second only to Japan. During the reviewed period, South Korean firms invested US$5.06 billion, or 24.9% of total investment to the country. • Korean is increasing investment in Vietnam to boost supporting industry: VITASK - a cooperation project between the South Korean Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy and the Vietnamese Ministry of Industry and Trade, was officially launched on December 11, 2020, in Hanoi, to help Vietnamese businesses in the automotive and electrical-electronic industries improve their capacity and deeply participate in the global supply chain. • Korea has experience in developing a successful auto industry and makes it a vehicle for economic growth. Korean auto parts manufacturers can draw lessons for the development of auto industries in latecomer countries like Vietnam, and offer measures that can use, drawing on the successes and failures of the Korean auto industry’s development experience. VIETNAM AUTOMOBILES MARKET REPORT 76 2.2. Entry barriers - Proposals of entry strategy for Korean auto parts manufacturers For the market entry strategy, Korean auto part makers may start with “pass through” first to test the market demand and then set up factories later on. Key requirements for such pass through collaboration are as follows: • Be an existing auto part suppliers for OEMs’ overseas plants • Have a local partners with an existing manufacturers plant in Vietnam • Providing key input materials or parts for further processing in Vietnam and supplying to OEMs to test the market demand. Suitable options of market penetration: Collaboration with FDI auto parts markers ➢ Collaboration opportunity: low ➢ Collaboration type: Become their potential suppliers (preferred for Korean auto part makers have manufacturing plants in Vietnam already) ➢ Most of tier-1 auto part companies in Vietnam are FDIs who produce auto parts upon the orders from their parent companies or foreign customers. Majority of their output products are exported while small portions are supplied to local car manufacturers. Collaboration with local auto part makers ➢ Collaboration opportunity: high ➢ Collaboration type: R&D co-operation or become their clients or suppliers ➢ Local companies are open for cooperation with new partners and clients. However, most of them are small-scale businesses and able to provide small and simple auto parts only. They would be good candidates for Korean auto parts makers in pass through collaboration since they have existing manufacturing plants in Vietnam and are open to cooperate.

Throughout this period time, the car manufacturer suppliers still frequently collaborate, have and to work together to ensure the quality and progress of work. 2.3. Collaboration landscape Key factors enable collaboration in Vietnamese automobiles industry • Increasing demand for higher localization rate: ➢ The Ministry of Finance proposed a draft regulation on new special tax calculation for domestically-produced cars to encourage automotive makers to increase localization rate. Taxable price for domestically-produced automobiles with 9 seats or less will be exclusive of the value od the auto parts produced domestically, encouraging automotive makers to increase the localization rate and enhance price competitiveness of domestic assembled car. ➢ To enjoy the tax incentives from the regulation, car manufacturers are expected to increase their localization rate via the cooperation with domestic auto part suppliers. • Local OEMs aims to increase their localization rate: ➢ Car manufacturers are aims to increase their localization rate to over 40% via further development of local supplier base. For example, Toyota Vietnam’s key focuses for localization in Vietnam include Seats, Body parts and Plastics auto parts. ➢ OEMs are leveraging existing motorcycle supplier base to find new auto part suppliers. ➢ Many OEMs in Vietnam are open for collaboration with Korean auto part suppliers such as Thaco Auto, Toyota Vietnam, Honda Vietnam, Ford Vietnam, etc. VIETNAM AUTOMOBILES MARKET REPORT 80 2.3.
