VinFast's domestic sales remain strong, but its international expansion faces stiff competition and slow EV adoption in the US and Europe. The company is targeting emerging markets like India, Indonesia, and the Philippines, which could offer high growth potential as oil prices rise, making EVs more attractive. VFS's loss per vehicle is narrowing significantly, suggesting a path to profitability, though risks remain if financial support wanes.
