II/ HONDA’S EXTERNAL OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS


External Opportunities:
- Culture-society: Motorcycle is a popular means of transport. Vietnamese
people have a habit of using motorbikes to travel short distances and often. The
demand for motorbikes in Vietnam is always at a high level

- Income level: People's income is increasing, especially in cities. In 2022, GDP


per capita at current prices is about 95.6 million VND per person, equivalent to
more than 4,100 USD, an increase of nearly 400 USD compared to 2021. Thus,
Vietnam's per capita income by 2030 will be nearly 2 times and by 2050 8 times
higher than current income. High income level means that the needs of potential
customers will be more diverse.

- Population: In Vietnam, the labor force is at working age accounting for over
60% of the population, which is a young and dynamic market. It can be seen that
the labor force is very abundant.

- The emergence of new markets: Emerging markets like China and India have
immense potential for growth and present new opportunities for Honda to
expand its customer base.
-Digital transformation: The rise of digital technology and the internet of things
presents opportunities for Honda to leverage these emerging technologies to
improve the customer experience and develop new products and services.

External Threats:

- Competition: The motorcycle and automobile industry is one of the industries


with very fierce competition in the market. Honda is now not only competing
with rivals such as Yamaha, SYM, Suzuki, .. but also with the appearance of
electric-powered motorbikes and cars of Vinfast. This is a huge challenge for
Honda today.
- Economy:
+ Petrol situation - crude oil price: In just over 2 months of 2022, the petroleum
market continuously set new records in price. With the increase in petrol prices,
it has a strong impact on the cost of transporting components, affecting the
purchasing power of customers. Not only that, customers' trends in choosing
travel products have also changed.
+ Inflation: In 2022, the world will face a record high inflation. Target inflation
of 4.5% in 2023 is a challenge for Vietnam's economy because there are a
number of factors that will put pressure on Vietnam's economy. inflation next
year. Vietnam is a country that has to import a lot of raw materials for
production, so the import of raw materials with high prices will affect costs and
prices, putting pressure on enterprises' production and thereby pushing up
commodity prices. domestic consumption increased, putting pressure on
inflation of the economy.
+ Tax: Currently, the import tax on spare parts and components of motorbikes
ranges from 20-30%, import tax on whole motorbikes ranges from 30-40%.
Some tax support policies will expire. force from the beginning of 2023 such as
the VAT reduction policy will cause the price of goods to rise again. In addition,
the increase in wages from July 1, 2023 is likely to drag the prices of consumer
goods and services up.

III/ COMPETITIVE PROFILE MATRIX (CPM)


Honda's main competitors in the motorcycle market are: Yamaha, SYM,
Piaggio,...
 Yamaha: entered the motorcycle market 1 year after Honda VN, but has
occupied a relatively solid position in the Vietnamese motorcycle market.

category. Vehicles that are highly competitive with Honda such as Mio
Classico, Jupiter, Sirius,...
 Piaggio: entered the market quite late, but this car company focuses on the
high-end scooter market such as Vespa, Beverly, Liberty, ...

V/ HONDA’S INTERNAL STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES


Honda's internal strengths and weaknesses can be analyzed as follows:

producing high-quality products and innovative technologies.
- Diverse product portfolio: Honda produces a wide range of products such as
automobiles, motorcycles, power equipment, and marine engines, which help to

market.
- Distribution network: Honda Vietnam has a very wide distribution network.
Honda currently has 793 stores spread throughout Vietnam and is concentrated
in big cities (Hanoi 57 and Ho Chi Minh City 61 Head). On average, a province
will have 13 Honda Head stores. The number of Heads is relatively evenly
distributed across regions.
- Human resources: Honda Vietnam has solved quite well the problem of human
resources. Honda Vietnam has been attracting many highly qualified and skilled
workers. Currently, Honda Vietnam has more than 5000 employees. employees
are working at factories. Employees working at Honda Vietnam are all trained
and fully participate in the company's welfare regime. Therefore, the majority of
employees achieve high quality in terms of performance. That means the
product quality as well as the service quality of Honda Vietnam are also highly
appreciated by customers.
- Finance: Honda Vietnam Company is a joint venture company consisting of 3
partners: Honda Motor Company (Japan - 42% capital), Asian Honda Motor

agricultural machinery in Vietnam (30% capital). Investment capital is over 290
million USD. Honda Vietnam has invested more than 300 million USD to build
factories. With abundant financial resources, the company has continuously
invested in research as well as production line systems.
Internal Weaknesses:

produced all kinds of motorcycles with very good quality. However, most of the
company's spare parts and machinery are imported, which greatly hinders the
assembly and repair of vehicles because of the scarcity.
- Honda stands out for its cheap but good quality car products. However, the
selling price of the products is still different and confusing for customers. In
addition, some products are priced too high, leading to a lot of inventory.
- Manufacturing workshop: Currently, Honda Vietnam has 3 production
workshops. It can be seen that the production facilities are not many and not
widely distributed.
- Management situation: there are many cars that have copied Honda's brand,
