Important limitations
Exports are not the same as Vietnamese value added, market demand, margin or accessible sales. Processing trade and re-exports may be present.
Nominal US-dollar growth can reflect prices, exchange rates and classification changes. HS2 sectors are deliberately broad.
The country filter covers 15 major 2023 destinations, not every economy. “Leading major market” refers only to this selected comparison set.
