According to data from the "2020 Vietnam Household Living Standards Survey Results," the Red River Delta is the region with the highest number of automobiles nationwide, with an ownership ratio of approximately 7.2 vehicles per 100 households.
Based on statistics from Vietnam's Vehicle Registration Department, by the end of 2021, the total number of automobiles in circulation in Vietnam reached approximately 4.512 million vehicles. Among these, Hanoi has the highest automobile ownership rate with approximately 50,928 vehicles. The increased demand for vehicle purchases among capital residents has created favorable opportunities for automotive lubricant dealerships in Hanoi to develop.
