Furniture industry developments
Donald Trump announced, late last month, via Truth Social that his administration will impose a fresh wave of tariffs on pharmaceuticals, furniture, and heavy trucks starting 1 October 2025.
This includes a 50 percent tariff will be imposed on kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, and associated products.
In addition, upholstered furniture will face a 30 percent tariff.
Trump said this measure addresses what he described as unfair flooding of imports into the US market.

Vietnam’s furniture industry
Vietnam’s furniture industry has become a major export-oriented sector, leveraging competitive labour costs, a skilled workforce, and preferential trade agreements.
The country is now among the world’s largest furniture exporters, with exports rising sharply over the last decade.
Challenges include rising raw material and labour costs, sustainability and timber-legality concerns, and increasing competition from other Southeast Asian producers.
Domestic consumption is growing, driven by urbanisation, rising incomes, and digital and e-commerce channels.
Overall, Vietnam’s furniture industry is shifting from being purely export-manufacturing-driven toward a dual model combining export growth with a maturing domestic market.
