The article discusses the growing importance of emerging economies in the global electric vehicle (EV) market, highlighting VinFast's expansion efforts as a reflection of this trend. Traditionally, the EV industry focused on China, the United States, and Europe, but recent data indicates a shift toward countries like Vietnam, India, Australia, and South Korea, where EV sales have seen significant growth. Despite a 5% decline in global car sales in the first half of 2026 due to economic pressures and policy changes, EV sales rebounded strongly, with many countries experiencing double-digit increases. The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that emerging markets will account for around 60% of global car demand over the next decade. VinFast, a Vietnamese automaker, reported a substantial rise in EV deliveries, with a 96% year-on-year increase in Q2 2026, driven by a diverse product range catering to various market needs. The company also expanded its exports, sending over 5,000 vehicles to Europe, the Philippines, and Indonesia.
