MARKET INFORMATION

The domestic wood processing sector is expecting a record export turnover of US$3.9 billion in 2011. Figures from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development show that wood export turnover in the year to November topped $3.5 billion, up by 15 percent when compared to the same period last year. The United States, which accounts for a third of the total export value, remains Vietnam’s largest wood importer; wood export turnover is expected to top $3.9 billion by year’s end, which is $500 million higher than the figure recorded last year.

Japan, which trails only the US, the EU, and China on the list of largest importers, has posted the highest growth in wood imports from Vietnam this year.

“After the devastating earthquake disaster last March, demand for construction wood has soared,”.

As for the US, according to Vietfores, wood export turnover to this market in the year to October has surpassed the $1 billion mark, surpassing China’s figures and placing Vietnam in the position of the US’s largest wood exporter. In the 10-month period, China’s wood exports to the US were worth only $700 million.

According to the survey from the organizer, currently, Vietnam’s manufactures mostly equipped with outdated and unsynchronized machines and tools for processing natural wood, especially for the processing of fine products and surface technology. Vietnam market provides great potential opportunity for woodworking & furniture industry.
