Wood & Wood Products
In 2025, the wood workers of Binh Duong, Binh Dinh and Dong Nai reached a milestone they had long awaited: for the first time, exports of wood and wood products crossed the USD 17 billion mark — USD 17.2 billion to be exact, up nearly 6% from the year before. The figure is all the more impressive given the market storms the industry has weathered, along with unstable raw-material seasons caused by erratic weather.
Americans are especially fond of Vietnamese wood products. The US market alone absorbs more than half — 55.6% of the country’s wood export value — followed by Japan and China. From dining sets, cabinets and beds to flooring and outdoor furniture, Vietnamese products are favored for their variety, reasonable prices, and a level of finish that improves year after year.
The most encouraging thing is the industry’s direction. We are gradually leaving behind the sale of cheap raw timber and wood chips to move toward finished furniture — where value multiplies many times over. A container of finely crafted tables and chairs is worth as much as a dozen containers of raw timber. The deeper we go into processing, and the more we master design and branding, the larger the share of profit that stays with Vietnamese hands.
But there is a phrase every wood exporter must engrave in memory this year: legal origin. The US and the EU are tightening controls on timber traceability to block illegal logging. A shipment that cannot prove its origin can be held right at the port, losing everything. Conversely, those who standardize their paperwork and use properly certified wood not only sleep soundly but also sell at noticeably higher prices.
