The Furniture Industry in Vietnam

In recent years, Vietnam has become the 6th largest furniture producer and the 2nd largest furniture exporter worldwide. Exports have been the country’s furniture industry’s major driver, increasing from USD 5 billion to nearly USD 20 billion during the last decade.

Vietnam has emerged not only as a hub for domestic production sourcing but also as an attractive option for offshore manufacturing for overseas companies. The number of direct foreign investment companies (FDI) is growing year after year and typically with a larger average size in terms of turnover and workforce.

The furniture industry in Vietnam report offers an up-to-date and detailed analysis of the Vietnamese furniture sector and its prospects, through tables, graphs, illustrated maps, and further information processed from direct interviews with top furniture companies and sector experts.

The Furniture market outline part provides data for furniture production, consumption, imports, and exports for the time series 2012-2022 with furniture market forecasts for 2023 and 2024.

At a supply side, the Vietnam furniture productive system is analysed through selected productive factors (forest area and resources, the structure of land by land use, consumption of wood-based panels, imports of wood-based panels, employment) and a breakdown of furniture production by segment (upholstered furniture, kitchen furniture, office furniture, bedroom, dining and living room furniture, other furniture).
