Advantages and challenges

the context of the global wood production and processing industry having many difficulties when the US-China trade war is increasingly tense, Vietnamese wood exports in general and wicker furniture in particular have great advantages. This is one of the few industries that has grown every year for the past 18 years despite the world economy in crisis, even with double-digit growth years, such as in 2019 and 2020 despite Covid-19. Vietnam is currently the fourth largest wood exporter in the world, the second largest in Asia. In 2019, exports reached 11.8 billion USD, in 2020 more than 12.5 billion USD.

However, this industry also has the following big challenges:

  • Labor resources are in short supply due to the epidemic situation and there is a shift of labor to other industries.
  • The production of this industry needs to build factories and large warehouses, but land prices are getting higher and higher, many businesses want to expand production but do not have land funds.
  • The third challenge is the pressure of digital transformation that forces businesses to adapt quickly from design, production technology and especially digital commerce.
