According to statistics from the Vietnam Customs, in May 2025, Vietnam’s rubber export volume reached 97.38 thousand tons, with a value of $174.92 million.
Cumulative in the first five months of 2025, rubber exports reached 550.14 thousand tons, worth $1.04 billion, down 4.1% in volume but up 21.7% in value compared to the same period in 2024.
The average export price of rubber reached $1,905 per ton, up 26.9% over the same period last year. The recovery and maintenance of world rubber prices at a good level have helped Vietnam increase its rubber export turnover.
In the context of many fluctuations in the world economy, maintaining the growth of rubber exports, especially to the main market of China, is a positive highlight. The three largest export markets for Vietnamese rubber are China, India, and South Korea.
Notably, Malaysia was the country that increased its imports of rubber from Vietnam the most, with over 14 thousand tons, equivalent to $21.4 million, up 329% in volume and up 360% in turnover compared to the same period in 2024. Export prices increased by 6.6%.
In recent years, the area of rubber plantations in the top-producing countries in Southeast Asia, such as Thailand and Indonesia, has tended to decrease as people switch from rubber to other more profitable crops.
According to the Vietnam Rubber Association (VRA), Vietnam currently has about 910,000 hectares of rubber plantations, with an annual output of 1.3 million tons of rubber. In terms of exports, Vietnam remains the third largest rubber exporter in the world.
In 2025, the total export turnover of the rubber industry is expected to exceed $11 billion, including: Natural rubber: about $3.5 billion; Rubber products: about $5 billion; Rubber wood: about $2.5 billion…
Despite positive signals, rubber prices are still under pressure from fluctuations in international trade policies. According to the Import-Export Department (Ministry of Industry and Trade), new tax measures from the US, especially on imported cars, along with falling crude oil prices and trade tension concerns, are causing difficulties for the world rubber market.
However, there are still bright spots in the market. China, the world’s largest consumer of rubber, is showing clear signs of recovery. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the country’s GDP in the first quarter of 2025 increased by 5.4% over the same period.
Since the beginning of June 2025, rubber prices on Asian exchanges have evolved differently, reflecting the cautious trading psychology of investors when the market still has many uncertain factors. While rubber prices in Japan and Thailand tend to decrease, prices on the Shanghai exchange in China have slightly increased. The main supply from major producing countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam is putting pressure on rubber prices. This is the main harvest season for rubber, which significantly increases the supply in the market, creating pressure on prices. In addition, the rubber market is also affected by the unclear global economic outlook.
