2023October

2023.10/17I went on a business trip to Vietnam to visit the local market until ~20. I participated in an exhibition called Vietnam Plas again this year, and the atmosphere in the venue was very lively, probably because of the opening of Corona. I was simply overwhelmed to see companies setting up booths, displaying the raw materials of molding machines and pulverized products, and selling other technologies of their own. Naturally, I was surprised to find that there are many companies involved in plastics overseas, and the way I felt was very different from when I was in Japan. Outside of work, I found it interesting that the capital, Hanoi, has a plan to ban motorbikes by 2030. Vietnam is said to be a "motorcycle powerhouse" and has a high usage rate of motorcycles, and there are some Japan manufacturers. In some places, there were more cars than cars, and there were people with three family members. For Vietnamese people, motorcycles are an inseparable part of their lives. The opposition to this regulation is overwhelming and it seems that the development is not realistic, but I felt that if it proceeds, it will have a great impact not only on the lives of the local people but also on Japan.
