Data compiled for the first 6 months of the year indicates that the sales chart for the two-wheeled vehicle market in 2026 is above 2025 levels. The sales decrease from Q1 to Q2 is a cyclical market phenomenon and does not alter the cumulative growth momentum in the first half of the year.
VAMM comprises 5 members: Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, SYM, and Piaggio, which includes the brands Piaggio, Vespa, Aprilia, and Moto Guzzi. These manufacturers currently distribute a total of 108 products to the market, with 106 gasoline models and only hai electric models (Honda ICON e: and Yamaha Neo's).
Before VinFast's entry, VAMM's sales represented the entire Vietnamese motorcycle market. However, in the current market, VAMM primarily represents the gasoline motorcycle business segment in Vietnam.
This growth is a bright spot for the gasoline motorcycle segment, especially as the Vietnamese motorcycle market has been entering a saturation phase in recent years and faces increasing competition from the trend towards electric motorcycles.
Gasoline motorcycles, with advantages in range, instant refueling capability, heavy load capacity, and high speed attainment, remain an important choice for consumers. This is particularly true in markets that do not yet demand high low-emission zones.
