Located on the eastern edge of Southeast Asia's Indochina Peninsula, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam exported goods valued at US$499.8 billion in 2024.
This amount represents a 77.6% jump compared to 2020, when the country's global shipments totaled $281.4 billion. On a year-to-year basis, Vietnam's exports climbed 41.6% from $353.1 billion in 2023.
According to 2024 exchange rate data, the Vietnamese dong strengthened by 4.9% against the US dollar compared with the prior year. While this stronger currency indicates economic resilience, it also makes Vietnamese exports priced in US dollars more costly for overseas buyers, particularly those dealing in American currency.
