The Ho Chi Minh Export Furniture Fair - HawaExpo 2023 will be held in HCM City from February 22 to 25 as part of a pact among five wood processing industry associations across Viet Nam.
The proportion of wooden furniture imports from these three markets accounted for 22.9 per cent of the total value of wooden furniture imports into Australia.
Viet Nam’s furniture exports to large markets such as the US and UK are growing despite the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
Viet Nam’s furniture exports to the US have risen sharply in recent times, but to sustain the growth firms need to focus on complying with regulations in that market, including sustainable development norms, experts have said.
Orders for furniture exports have risen strongly so far this year over the same period last year as demand has risen, according to Huynh Quang Thanh, chairman and CEO of Binh Duong-based Hiep Long Fine Furniture Company.
