Development process

Before 2009
In the period of 2006-2008, Vietnam automobile market developed quite
strongly, thus the demand of car furniture increased substantially both in quantity and
quality.
After his graduation from National Economics University, Mr. Nguyen Dang
Hung (current director) had worked for some automobile companies and had
accumulated a lot of experiences as well as some capital to establish his own company.
After getting the business license on February 25th 2009, on April 1st 2009, Auto Viet
Technology Joint Stock Company has been officially established and operating.
Formerly, the company primarily performed their task to seek the products from
worldwide reputable brands such as: leather upholstery, insulation films and alloy
wheels… Most of these products were imported based on customers’ orders and in
need for specific kinds of their cars. The demand has not been required a lot yet since
they needed furniture for replacement of the old or damaged ones. The primary market
was only Ha Noi and contiguous provinces. The personnel of the company at that time
were only 4 people and the number of technical workers was 6.
The period from 2009 to present
Because of increasing demand from customers and views on needs to own a car
with maximum comfort and meet all the needs of the aesthetic features. Taking this
into consideration, the company has developed much more products and services: highend audio equipment, luxurious wood-paneled interiors, accessories for pickups,
guarantee, advisory… The company extended their market into other provinces such
as: Hai Duong, Hai Phong, Quang Ninh, Nghe An, Ha Tinh…
On May 6th 2012, the company opened a showroom on Yen Lang Street, Dong
Da, Ha Noi to provide advisory, guarantee and larger place for assembly and repair.

2.4.1. Market research
a. Domestic market research

The car furniture and accessories market in Vietnam is dependent on the
automobile market. Therefore, this research may also be undertaken with the latter one.
i.

Some “special” characteristics of the automobile market of Vietnam in recent
years
- Imperative follow: “Follow” here means to race for introducing new car
models, which means if there are any new models in major and developed
markets, then right after that, those models would be introduced or
-

assembled in Vietnam.
Not hesitate to spend money: In the information technology boom nowadays,
whenever there are new or incomparable car models anywhere, Vietnamese
car buyers grasp very quickly. They are prepared willing to spend millions

-

dollars to possess luxury cars:
Still waiting for prices: Comparing to regional markets, the car prices in
Vietnam is twice or thrice higher. Automobile joint ventures confirmed that
the prices are high taxes (about half the price of each sold car). There is
another opinion that in 2018 the car prices in Vietnam would be much lower

since the import tax and accessories in ASEAN would decline sharply.
ii.
The facts of automobile market in Vietnam
• Supply
Automobile supply of Vietnam nowadays is quite huge and it is from a lot of
different sources. Most of the supplies are from three main sources:
-

Domestic manufacture and assembly
Import


11

-

Smuggling

In these three sources, according to statistics in the past few years, domestic
manufacture and assembly accounted for the largest number, followed by import and
then smuggling.
According to General Statistics Office (GSO) of Vietnam, in December 2015,
there were about 14,000 cars imported into Vietnam; the turnover was about 382
million USD.
In 2015, the total number of cars imported was about 125,000 with the turnover
of 2.97 billion USD, increased 76.6% in the amount of cars imported and increased
87.7% in value. (baochinhphu.vn)
The domestic manufactured and assembled cars were supplied essentially by
VAMA with 18 members: Toyota, Truong Hai, Ford, Mercedes Benz, Daewoo…
Annually each joint venture manufactures about 3,000 cars, this amount of cars only

supplies for domestic market. It shows that the quantity of domestic manufactured and
assembled cars is not enough for consumers’ demand even in domestic market, which
makes imported cars market is still quite exciting.
However, according to GSO, after applying new calculation of excise tax, the
amount of imported cars in January 2016 decreased for 50% with only 7,000 cars,
while there were 14,000 cars imported in December 2015. According to some import
cars enterprises, this new calculation of excise tax make the price of cars adding some
cost such as: transport, advertisement, labor…
The remaining of the total supplies of the automobile market is from smuggling.
This amount of cars has significant impact to the market because of low prices, thus it
has high competitive advantage.


12

•

Demand

Although Vietnam has gained remarkable accomplishments in innovation of the
economy, Vietnamese people’s income is not high, the GDP is 2,109 USD while the
price of a domestic manufactured and assembled is about 60,000 USD, the demand of
Vietnam automobile market is still quite modest with the ratio 1 car/100 people.
Moreover, the streets in Vietnam do not coincide with circulating by cars, which make
the demand of people to use cars is not high.
 Researching on market demand means that we have to understand that which products

the market would need in the present and future, amounts and prices. Based on
consumers’ tastes and trends in each automobile segment, we need to take these
researches into consideration to import furniture and accessories which are comply for

-

them.
Class A: City car - small, low price, suitable for women: Kia morning, Chevrolet

-

Spark, Hyundai i10…
Class B: Subcompact car – affordable prices, less fuel consumption, easy to drive,
stable with 500km driving, safer than city car. A lot of first car buyers choose this

class.
 Hatchback: Toyota Yaris, Ford Fiesta, Mitsubishi Mirage, Kia Rio, Mazda 2S, Suzuki

-

Swift…
Sedan: Toyota Vios, Nissan Sunny, Honda City, Mitsubishi Attrage…
Class C: Compact car: Toyota Corolla Altis, Honda Civic, Ford Focus, Mazda 3,
Hyundai Elantra, Kia K3…
Class D: Mid-size car
Mid-size cars in Vietnam are all in sedan model (there is also hatchback model in
foreign countries) because of popular taste of elegance and noble. Customers for this
segment are mainly young businessmen, businesses, wealthier households…
Toyota Camry is still considered as the most purchase-worthy car model for its
design, reputation and low care cost. Its competitors are Mazda 6, Hyundai Sonata, Kia
Optima, Nissan Teana, Honda Accord… in which the most prominent are Mazda 6 and


13

Hyundai Sonata because of their youthful style, modern technology and lower price
than Camry.
- Compact MPV:
Compact MPV is very popular in Vietnam thanks to its affordable price, large
space inside, low maintenance cost… Toyota Innova is dominating in this segment
since its debut in 2006. It is the best choice for passenger carrier, taxi agencies,
businesses and individuals for car rental, mid-class family who often travel with 5-7
people…
Competitors: Chevrolet Orlando, Mitsubishi Zinger, Nissan Grand Livina,
Suzuki Ertiga… and imported cars such as Ford C-Max, Mazda 5…

• Tax bases and tariff
According to Law on import and export duty No.19/VBHN-VPQH:

The tax rate shall be applied under the Circular No.83/2014/TT-BTC guiding the
implementation of value added tax for the list of imported goods Vietnam in which
most imported products of Auto Viet JSC’s are applied with 10% VAT.
b. Foreign market research

This process requires the company to know about how many suppliers for intended
imported goods and supply ability, transaction and payment method… These factors
affect on the import stability and durability.
The price of commodity includes cost of goods sold, packaging cost, transportation
cost, insurance cost and others’ cost that depend on the process and the agreements
between both parties. In fact, the price of each kind of commodity is affected by a lot
of elements such as: competition, supply and demand, inflation, season… Therefore,
the company needs to consider and determine the impact of all the factors on the prices
of imported goods, hence determine the reasonable prices for domestic consumers and
for them to achieve their goals. In the imported goods prices selection issue, the

company usually based on the prices: in traditional trading center, in main production
countries or focused manufacturers, exchange rate, political environment, law, trading
practice and currency system.
Auto Viet JSC has trade relations mainly with Thailand, China, Singapore and
Taiwan. Among those, Thailand is the biggest business partners which accounts for 39
percent of total trading volume, followed by China (30 percent), Singapore (21
percent) and Taiwan (7 percent). This can be explained that Thais products have good
quality and most reasonable price than ones from other countries.

2.4.2. Negotiation and signing contract
a. Negotiation

This is the beginning stage of the formation of the contract. Both parties’
representatives would meet each other to express their requests and desires. This stage
requires both parties to elaborate the preparations to have beneficial agreements for
both in negotiation while keeping good and stable relationships in business.
For the first trading, Auto Viet JSC’s directorate often administrate to direct
negotiation method in which the director or vice director would go to Thailand,
Singapore, China… to directly meet, communicate and present the requests and
inquiries to solve immediately. After both parties gain conversance and trust in each
other, we can use the negotiation method by media such as fax and email… to save
time and cost.
Negotiation process includes following steps:
-

Enquiry: a request to enter the transaction from the buyer to request the
seller to provide the information about the goods and services. An enquiry’s
contents does not need to be complete like a contract but still assure some

-

basic terms such as: product name, quantity, quality, price, delivery period.
Offer: a suggestion from the seller. An offer’s contents ensure the contents

-

of a contract. There are two main types of offers: free offer and fixed offer.
Order: a proposal to conduct transaction from the buyer and bind the
obligations to the seller. An order’s contents ensure the contents of a contract

-

including the clauses of technical requirements or a sample attachment.
Counter-offer: Counter-offer can be sent from buyer or seller. Legally, this is
an answer but not a complete acceptance for previous transaction clauses.
This is commercially also the bargain for price and transaction clauses.


17

-

Acceptance: a completely unconditional acceptance with all the requests
from the other party. An acceptance with an offer or an order counts as

-

signing the contract.
Confirmation: to confirm the clauses with both parties had agreed and this

confirmation counts as an agreement to sign the contract.
