Vietnam is a key export market for China's wood fiberboard. From January to September 2025, China's fiberboard exports to Vietnam reached 501,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 126%, making Vietnam the largest export market for Chinese fiberboard.
In 2024, the export value reached US$1.36 billion, a year-on-year increase of 14.2%. Exports to Vietnam accounted for 13.28% of China's total fiberboard exports, making it the largest single market.
Since 2025, Vietnam has frequently imposed anti-dumping duties on Chinese goods, primarily in the steel and wood products industries, which has significantly impacted relevant exports.
