VinFast’s 2026 Export Surge Highlights Shift to Emerging EV Markets

VinFast electric vehicle exports emerging markets IEA car sales data global EV growth

Vietnamese automaker VinFast exported more than 5,000 electric vehicles in July 2026 and delivered 70,085 EVs globally in the second quarter, a 96% year‑on‑year rise. First‑half deliveries reached 128,662 vehicles, up 78% from the same period a year earlier. The company’s two‑wheel segment shipped 286,039 electric scooters and e‑bikes in the quarter, a 311% increase.

The International Energy Agency reported that global car sales fell about 5% in the first half of 2026, but electric‑vehicle sales rebounded strongly, hitting record levels in 50 countries. While China’s EV market is expected to stagnate for the first time in a decade, the IEA projects that China and emerging economies together will account for roughly 60% of global car demand over the next ten years, underscoring the growing importance of markets such as Vietnam, India, Australia and South Korea for automotive leadership.
