Vietnam’s exports of machines, equipment, tools, and instruments decreased by 1.07 percent in February 2025 compared to January, reaching US$3.82 billion, according to data from Vietnam’s General Department of Customs.
Vietnam’s machine, equipment, tools, and instruments exports total US$7.69 billion for 2025, indicating a continued demand despite the drop in February.
The decrease was largely attributed to a decline in exports to major markets, including the USA, where shipments fell by 23.36 percent to US$58.02 million, and to the UK, which saw a 29.02 percent decline, reaching US$72.69 million. However, some markets, such as South Korea, China, and Mexico, experienced growth, with exports to South Korea increasing by 11.46 percent, China by 27.40 percent, and Mexico by 12.14 percent.
