The Ministry of Industry and Trade estimates Vietnam’s gasoline consumption at about 11.37 million cubic meters in 2025, implying ethanol demand of roughly 1.1 million cubic meters under E10 blending. Authorities said they are coordinating with businesses to secure ethanol imports and revive idle domestic plants to support supply during the transition.
