Gojek's Exit from Vietnam Marks a New Era in Rivalry with Grab

  • Gojek has decided to exit Vietnam, marking the end of its first era of competition with Grab in Southeast Asia.
  • Vietnam was Gojek's first expansion market in 2018, but it struggled to gain significant market share.
  • The decision to leave Vietnam is based on logic rather than rivalry or financial narratives, signaling a shift in strategy.
  • Gojek's exit follows similar struggles by other international companies like Grab and Baemin in the Vietnamese market.
  • Both Gojek and Grab are now focusing on profitability and cost-cutting, moving away from aggressive expansion tactics.

Yeah, I used Grab's Cab service in Vietnam.

The good thing was it gave you three rides free.

So, I was set for my trip.

Grab is also down 75% from it's listing price. Man, ride hailing - it's tough. You are grabbing market share while losing shareholder wealth.
