Owing to their relative affordability, scooters are a motorcycle type which remains popular amongst biking enthusiasts who value a light, easy-to-ride motorcycle. Scooters vary by aesthetic characteristics, mode of operation, and engine capacity. Nowadays, scooters can be typically found in the engine capacity range of 50cc to as high as 650cc or more. Unlike many other motorcycle types, scooters have a robust bodywork which serves the chief purposes of concealing all the mechanical parts and providing a cleaner look as well as quieter operation. In addition, they have significantly more built-in storage space than most conventional motorcycles. Ease of use and ample storage space aside, the introduction of electric scooters is an innovation that is driving the adoption of scooters.

    Analyst Opinion

    The Scooters market in Vietnam has been experiencing significant growth in recent years. Customer preferences for scooters, along with several trends in the market, have contributed to this development. Additionally, local special circumstances and underlying macroeconomic factors have played a role in shaping the scooter market in Vietnam. Customer preferences in Vietnam have shifted towards scooters due to their affordability, fuel efficiency, and convenience. Scooters are more affordable compared to cars and motorcycles, making them a popular choice for many Vietnamese consumers. Additionally, scooters are known for their fuel efficiency, which is particularly important in a country where the cost of fuel is relatively high. Furthermore, scooters are compact and easy to maneuver in Vietnam's crowded urban areas, making them a convenient mode of transportation for daily commutes. One of the key trends in the scooter market in Vietnam is the increasing demand for electric scooters. As environmental awareness grows, more consumers are opting for electric scooters as a greener alternative to traditional petrol-powered scooters. The government has also introduced incentives and subsidies for electric vehicles, further driving the demand for electric scooters in the country. This trend is expected to continue as the government continues to prioritize sustainable transportation solutions. Another trend in the scooter market is the popularity of retro-styled scooters. These scooters, inspired by classic designs from the past, have gained a significant following among Vietnamese consumers. The retro aesthetic appeals to those who value style and nostalgia, and scooter manufacturers have capitalized on this trend by offering a wide range of retro-styled models. This trend reflects a global preference for vintage-inspired designs and is likely to continue in the coming years. Local special circumstances have also influenced the scooter market in Vietnam. The country's infrastructure, particularly in urban areas, is well-suited for scooters. The narrow streets and heavy traffic make scooters a practical choice for navigating through congested areas. Additionally, the lack of parking space in cities further encourages the use of scooters as they require less space compared to cars. Underlying macroeconomic factors have also contributed to the growth of the scooter market in Vietnam. The country's rising middle class and increasing disposable income have made scooters more affordable for a larger segment of the population. As more people can afford to purchase scooters, the demand for these vehicles has naturally increased. Furthermore, the government's efforts to improve the country's road infrastructure have made commuting by scooter safer and more convenient, further driving the market's growth. Overall, the scooter market in Vietnam is experiencing significant growth due to customer preferences for affordability, fuel efficiency, and convenience. The increasing demand for electric scooters and retro-styled models, along with the country's favorable infrastructure and underlying macroeconomic factors, have contributed to this development. As the market continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how these trends and circumstances shape the future of the scooter industry in Vietnam.
