Industry Overview

The rearview mirror industry in Vietnam is a component of the automotive supply chain, covering both the motorcycle and automobile markets.

While the Vietnamese rearview mirror industry has developed rapidly alongside the continued expansion of the automobile and motorcycle markets, it remains heavily reliant on foreign investment and has limited local manufacturing capabilities.

Vietnam's domestic industrial chain is weak in areas such as optical processing, precision injection molding, electroplating, and electronic integration. Most mid-to-high-end rearview mirrors (especially smart rearview mirrors with electric folding, turn signals, cameras, or ADAS functions) still rely on imports.

The current industry comprises both imported parts supplied to OEMs and a large number of replacement parts for the aftermarket, resulting in a diversified supply structure.

Vietnam's car sales have continued to grow in recent years, driving a steady increase in demand for vehicle rearview mirrors. Meanwhile, increased CKD/IKD assembly by OEMs has kept the proportion of imported rearview mirrors in the OEM supply chain relatively high.

Overall, Vietnam's rearview mirror industry is in a development stage dominated by imports and supplemented by local processing. Market demand is expanding, driven by the growth of the automotive industry, replacement demand for motorcycles, and vehicle upgrade trends.

Import Market Overview

The demand for rearview mirror is growing in Vietnam , but local production capacity is limited, and the country is highly dependent on imports.

According to CRI analysis, Vietnam's vehicle rearview mirror import market is primarily driven by imports of auto parts and aftermarket replacement demand for motorcycles, showing a long-term stable growth trend. Due to a lack of mature local manufacturing capabilities in areas such as optical lens processing, precision injection molding, electroplating, motor control, and electronic integration, most rearview mirror assemblies rely on imports.

Vietnam's imports of rearview mirror continue to increase, China is the largest source of imports.

According to CRI statistics, approximately 320 importers in Vietnam imported rearview mirror in 2024, totaling US$38.61 million, a 21.2% year-on-year increase. According to CRI analysis, Vietnam's total imports of rearview mirror reached US$38.82 million from January to October 2025, an increase of approximately 27.6% compared to the same period in 2024. China, South Korea, and Thailand were Vietnam's top three sources of imported rearview mirrors, accounting for approximately 50.3%, 11.9%, and 8.8% of total imports respectively from January to October 2025.

Overview of Foreign Investment in Vietnam's Rearview Mirror Industry

Investment Background

In recent years, with the continuous rise in automobile sales in Vietnam and the expansion of CKD/IKD production capacity by OEMs, the demand for safety-critical components such as rearview mirrors has grown rapidly.

However, Vietnam's industrial chain remains weak in areas such as optical material processing, precision plastic molding, electroplating, electronic integration, and smart mirror technology, resulting in a significant reliance on imports for mid-to-high-end rearview mirrors. This supply-demand gap presents a significant opportunity for foreign investment to enter Vietnam for the production, assembly, or further processing of rearview mirrors.

Investment Advantages

1. Political stability and rapid economic development. The Vietnamese government has strong governing capabilities, consistent policies, and a focus on economic development and improving people's livelihoods.

2. Relatively low labor costs.

3. Strategically located in the eastern part of the Indochina Peninsula, with a 3,260-kilometer coastline and numerous ports, transportation is convenient.
