Vietnam’s plastic products exports fall by 14.61 percent in February 2025

Vietnam’s exports of plastic products dropped by 14.61 percent in February compared to January, reaching US$495.14 million, according to data from Vietnam’s General Department of Customs.

Vietnam’s plastic product exports total US$1.08 billion for 2025, reflecting a decrease in export performance compared to the previous month.

The decline in exports was driven by a sharp reduction in shipments to the USA, which fell by 24.95 percent, and to Germany, which dropped by 16.97 percent. However, exports to South Korea, China, and Taiwan showed positive growth, increasing by 13.00 percent, 17.10 percent, and 66.00 percent, respectively.
