3. Vietnam

Export Volume: $3.5 billion

There are over 2,000 recognized handicraft villages in Vietnam that produce goods from various sub-categories, such as silversmithing, bamboo weaving, pottery, rattan, inlay, and wood crafts. The local industry employs at least 2 million Vietnamese, with an export value of roughly $3.5 billion each year. Vietnam’s handicrafts are exported to more than 163 countries across the world. Being a member of the WTO, the country benefits from declined duty levied on its handicraft exports, which serves as an added advantage to the local industry.
