As the global plywood market evolves, more buyers are turning their attention from China to Vietnam for a reliable, sustainable, and high-quality source of plywood. Whether you’re in construction, furniture manufacturing, or packaging, Vietnam plywood offers a strategic edge in quality, compliance, and cost-efficiency.
Here’s why Vietnam plywood—especially from trusted suppliers like Tadex Ply—is quickly becoming the go-to alternative:
1. Vietnam Plywood Is Hardwood – Stronger Than Poplar or Pine Wood
One of Vietnam’s biggest strengths lies in the raw materials. While Chinese plywood often uses Poplar or Pine, Vietnamese plywood is made primarily from Eucalyptus, Acacia, and Styrax—dense, durable hardwoods.
- Superior strength: Eucalyptus and Acacia offer excellent screw holding strength, load-bearing capacity, and resistance to warping.
- Durability in use: Ideal for construction formwork, export packaging, and furniture manufacturing.
- Lasts longer under stress: Compared to Poplar or Pine, hardwood plywood has a longer service life in demanding applications.
2. Sustainability and Traceability of Raw Materials
With increasing regulations and consumer awareness, sustainable sourcing at Tadex Ply is more important than ever. We ensures:
- Legally harvested timber: Sourced from FSC®-certified plantations or managed forests, under the control of the local authority and forest guard.

3. Wide Range of Quality and Price Options
Vietnam is known for its flexibility—from basic to premium plywood, there’s something for every buyer:
- Grades & applications: From CD-grade plywood to film-faced concrete plywood and Birch/Okoume plywood.
- Customization: Core types, face/back veneers, glue options—fully customizable plywood.
- Competitive pricing: Ranges from $200–$600 USD/m³ FOB Hai Phong, based on quality and sizes.

5. Reliable Supply and Fast Global Shipping
According to the International Trade Center (ITC), Vietnam earned $1.1 billion in revenue from plywood exports during the first 11 months of 2022, placing it fifth among the world’s largest plywood exporters, this is the proof for the strong & reliable supply of Vietnam Plywood & Tadex Ply. And the export revenue of Vietnam plywood is increasing every year due to the strong supply chain of raw wood material, the scale of plywood production plants, high technical and skilled labor to meet the rising of demand.
As the estimate, as of 2024, Vietnam can supply 200,000 CBM of plywood per month, estimate 4500-5000 containers/month
The logistics infrastructure of Vietnam recently is developed to support the export industry, and Vietnam plywood is also benefit from that. The big container vessel and bulk vessel can pick up the container from Vietnam to delivery directly to the international customers.
6. Strategic Trade Agreements & Favorable Tariffs
Vietnam’s active participation in free trade agreements (FTAs) gives buyers significant cost advantages, compare to other supply like China.
- Major FTAs: CPTPP, EVFTA, RCEP, AANZFTA, VKFTA, VJFTA, UKVFTA, and more.
- Lower import duties: Buyers in EU, Korea, Japan, Australia, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Israel, and others enjoy reduced or zero tariffs on Vietnam plywood. In 2025, Vietnam plywood is benefit from 0% import duty into EU market.
