Plastic Tray Exports from Vietnam: Electronics Packaging Drives Continuous Growth

In the first half of 2025, Vietnam’s export performance for plastic trays (HS 39231090) continued its upward momentum, strongly supported by the expansion of electronics manufacturing and packaging demand. According to NBD DATA, Vietnam exported approximately 138.4 million plastic trays during this period, reaching a total export value of USD 31.04 million across 23,662 trade records.

The export market remains dominated by high-tech and precision packaging applications, with “electronics tray” and “component packaging tray” appearing frequently in customs descriptions. The majority of these trays are used by electronics assemblers, camera module producers, and automotive component plants operating in northern Vietnam.

Monthly Export Trend

Vietnam’s monthly export trend for plastic trays in early 2025 shows a steady and balanced growth pattern, peaking in March and May:

The first half of the year demonstrates a 6.7% overall increase compared to the same period in 2024. Demand was particularly strong from Japan, the United States, and China—countries with major investments in Vietnam’s electronics industry.

Main Export Destinations

Vietnam’s plastic tray exports are widely distributed across Asia and North America. The top five destinations by export value are as follows:

Japan remains the top destination, driven by long-term supply relationships with Canon, Kyocera, and Tamron factories. Meanwhile, the U.S. and South Korea show growing demand, reflecting shifts in electronics supply chains seeking cost-effective packaging alternatives in Vietnam.

Trend and Outlook

The export structure of Vietnam’s plastic tray industry reflects the country’s deep integration into global electronics supply chains. As investment in high-tech manufacturing continues to expand—particularly from Japan and South Korea—demand for molded and anti-static trays will likely grow further.

For the remainder of 2025, exports are expected to maintain a stable monthly volume of around 22–25 million trays, supported by increasing orders from camera, semiconductor, and electronic assembly industries. With continuous upgrades in mold precision and material innovation, Vietnam’s plastic tray producers are well positioned to capture more high-value packaging contracts.
