As one of Southeast Asia’s most prominent industry fairs, VietnamWood 2025 will provide a platform for over 320 exhibitors from 28 countries and regions, showcasing innovations and automation transforming the woodworking industry.

How did the Vietnamese woodworking industry grow?
Vietnam’s woodworking industry has experienced significant growth in recent years. According to Vietnam Briefing, in 2024, Vietnam achieved record exports of US$17.3 billion in wood products, with US$1.05 billion coming from non-timber forest products like bamboo and rattan. The shift towards eco-friendly and value-added products has been a major growth driver. The Vietnam Timber and Forest Products Association (VIFOREST) has also reported that over 520,000 hectares of forest in Vietnam are now certified for sustainable management, a significant milestone in the country’s commitment to sustainability.
With the United States being Vietnam’s largest export market, the industry remains competitive despite challenges like the newly introduced 20% tariff. The Vietnamese government continues to seek favorable trade agreements, ensuring that the country remains a key player in the global woodworking market.
