VinFast Reports 42% Revenue Growth in Q1 2026 Amid Broad Global EV Expansion
On June 8, 2026, VinFast Auto Ltd. announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter of 2026 from Singapore. The automotive manufacturer reported a 41.7% year-over-year revenue increase, reaching VND23,111.1 billion, or US$920.7 million. This financial growth was primarily driven by strong electric vehicle (EV) sales volumes within Vietnam and increasing contributions from international markets including India, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
First Quarter 2026 Delivery and Revenue Highlights
During the first quarter of 2026, VinFast delivered 58,577 electric vehicles, reflecting a 61% increase compared to the same period in 2025. International markets accounted for approximately 8% of the company’s total EV deliveries during the quarter.
Within its domestic market of Vietnam, VinFast experienced a 53% year-over-year increase in EV deliveries. This performance allowed the company to maintain its status as the number one original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in the domestic automotive market, a position it has held since September 2024.
Expanding Market Position in Southeast Asia and India
VinFast has designated Southeast Asia and India as key growth markets. By the end of Q1 2026, the manufacturer had secured the number one ranking as a battery electric vehicle (BEV) brand in the Philippines, the number four position in India, and the number eight position in Indonesia.
The company also reported significant growth in the two-wheeler segment, delivering 143,136 e-scooters and e-bikes in the first quarter, a 219% increase from the first quarter of 2025. In March alone, VinFast shipped over 93,000 e-scooters to domestic dealers and secured more than 135,000 orders, expanding its overall domestic motorcycle market share to 17%.
Strategic Operational and Technology Developments
VinFast has continued to execute its global expansion strategy by growing its retail and after-sales network. By the end of the first quarter, the company operated 447 global showrooms. Furthermore, VinFast recently signed Memoranda of Understanding with 29 after-sales partners to build EV service workshops that align with its global standards. The company aims to expand this network to over 1,100 service workshops across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia by the end of 2026.
