Earlier Report Observations

Vietnam's fibreboard market volume grew from 478 thousand m³ in 2018 to a peak of 677 thousand m³ in 2020, before entering a sustained contraction that brought it down to 254 thousand m³ by 2023. In value terms, the market showed a similar trajectory, rising from 208.3 million USD to 242.7 million USD by 2021, then declining to 160.1 million USD in 2023.

Domestic production remained constant at 190 thousand m³ annually throughout the period. The market's movements were primarily driven by trade, as import volumes first surged from 386.5 thousand m³ to 577 thousand m³ by 2020, then fell sharply to 232.5 thousand m³ in 2023. Over the same span, exports grew consistently from 98.5 thousand m³ to 168.2 thousand m³, which tempered the net supply impact of the import decline in later years.
