| MARKET INFORMATION |
Vietnam is to become a powerful wood products exporter.
The Vietnamese government aims to achieve the target of one million cubic meter of artificial wood by 2010.
The Vietnam Timber and Forest Product Association (Vietfores) said the industry saw a 27 percent year-on-year increase in chair export sales to US$445 million, a staggering 47 percent increase.
The association’s chair forecast was based on steady export growth recorded in recent years, outpacing that of the whole woodwork industry, projected to hit $2 billion this year.
In August, exports were worth $128 million. This took the eight-month figure to $966 million, higher by almost half over last year’s it period, according to the ministry. It said if the strong growth continued during the rest of the year, the exports would surge past the $1.5 billion mark. Last year’s exports were worth $1.054 billion.
Vietnam is currently on its way to becoming a leading furniture manufacturing country in Asia. Due to the lack of modern manufacturing technologies and skills, Vietnamwood serves as a vital platform to address the needs and anticipate the demand of the local furniture industries.
According to the survey from the organizer, currently, Vietnam’s manufactures mostly equipped with outdated and unsynchronized machines and tools for processing natural wood, especially for the processing of fine products and surface technology.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.
