Vietnam's Rubber Export Performance in 2024

Vietnam's rubber exports in 2024 reached a total turnover of $3.45 billion despite a 5.2% decrease in volume compared to 2023. This performance reflects the sharp increase in global rubber prices, which helped offset declining export quantities.

    • Volume increased 12.8%, while value rose 11.5%.
    • Compared to December 2023, volume dropped 3.3%, but value surged 31.5%.

  • Export volume: 1.77 million tons (down 5.45% year-on-year).
  • Export turnover: $2.97 billion (up 17.8% year-on-year).

Key Market Performance

  • China: The largest importer of Vietnam's rubber, accounting for 70.8% of total exports. Year-to-date exports to China reached 1.25 million tons, worth $2.08 billion. Despite a 15.46% drop in volume, value increased by 5.54%, driven by higher prices.
  • Emerging Markets: Malaysia, Belgium, and France showed significant growth in both volume and value, with increases over 300% year-on-year in some cases.

Export Composition

Vietnam’s rubber exports are dominated by natural and synthetic rubber blends (HS: 400280), accounting for:

  • 81.43% of total volume.
  • 84.24% of total value.

The second most exported category is Latex, representing:
