Vietnam Plastics Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034
Description
The Vietnam plastics market size was nearly 10.27 Million Tons in 2024. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.40% during 2025-2034, to reach around 23.01 Million Tons by 2034.
Key Trends in the Market
Plastic is a critical material used in various sectors across the world. These sectors include packaging, textiles, transportation, healthcare, electronics, and consumer products, among others. Some most eminent and widely used plastic materials are acrylic, polycarbonate, polyethylene, and polypropylene, among others.
The EMR’s report titled “Vietnam Plastics Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034 offers a detailed analysis of the market based on the following segments:
Market Breakup by Type
Injection moulding holds a significant portion of the Vietnam plastics market share due to its advantages, including high efficiency, fast production, and flexibility. Plastic injection moulding can also handle complex parts, maximise the quality and precision of components, and optimise the design and manufacturing of different parts.
In the coming years, the growing adoption of automation technologies in plastic injection moulding processes to minimise per-component costs and decrease cycle times is anticipated to favour the segment’s development. Besides, the rising environmental concerns are expected to bolster the demand for electric injection moulding machines with improved energy savings in the forecast period.
Market Share by End Use
As per the Vietnam plastics market analysis, plastic is widely used in the packaging sector due to its durability, cost-effectiveness, sealability, flexibility, and design freedom, among others. Plastic packaging increases the shelf life of a product due to its durable nature.
FMCG companies in the country are actively attempting to use sustainable plastic packaging solutions and enhance the recyclability of plastic packaging. For instance, in 2022, Unilever launched a small-scale trial for recyclable mono-material sachets of Clear shampoo in Hanoi, Vietnam, to ease the plastic recycling process.
Meanwhile, the flourishing construction and building sector in the country is also surging the use of plastics in building components such as screws, wall coverings, hinges, and flooring, among others. Favourable properties such as chemical resistance, lightweight, low maintenance, fire resistance, dimensional stability, durability, and ductility are further likely to boost the usage of plastics in construction activities.
Competitive Landscape

Key Trends in the Market
Plastic is a critical material used in various sectors across the world. These sectors include packaging, textiles, transportation, healthcare, electronics, and consumer products, among others. Some most eminent and widely used plastic materials are acrylic, polycarbonate, polyethylene, and polypropylene, among others.
- The Vietnam plastics market demand is being supported by the robust growth of the packaging sector. As plastic is highly flexible and elastic in nature and is suitable for applications that need designing options, moulding properties, geometry, and distinct textures, they are a crucial raw material in the packaging sector.
- One of the key Vietnam plastics market trends is the contribution of the sector to the Vietnamese economy. Plastics are the backbone of the Vietnamese economy, a major source of employment, and significantly enhance export and import activities. The country produced 8.89 million tonnes of plastic products in 2019, and the plastic sector contributed approximately US$17.5 billion to the economy, representing 6.7 % of the GDP, according to the World Bank.
- Plastic pollution has emerged as a major concern in Vietnam, and it ranks fourth out of the top ten countries contributing plastic leakages into the marine environment. Hence, the growing concerns regarding plastic pollution and the shift towards eco-friendly solutions are likely to positively influence the Vietnam plastics market growth in the coming years.
- The Vietnam plastics market development is expected to be fuelled by the expansion of e-commerce platforms in the country. This is also anticipated to surge the usage of plastic packaging to ensure the safe and secure movement of goods at a far destination in the coming years.
