Since the Covid-19 epidemic resurged in Vietnam, the volume of face masks exported decreased.

The main enterprises exporting masks in January include Akie Vietnam Joint Stock Company, Thien Binh Investment Joint Stock Company, Tam Phuc Pharmaceutical Import Export Joint Stock Company, etc.

In 2020, Vietnam exported more than 1.37 billion medical masks of all kinds. Several country’s export markets included the United States, EU, Japan, South Korea, India, etc.

The face mask exports surged since the end of April last year following the government’s resolution 60 that permitted the unlimited export quantity.

According to the preliminary report, the current supply of masks for domestic use is still guaranteed. Big C Supermarket stores 300% of fabric masks and hand sanitizers compared to the previous month; the Saigon Coop Cooperative Alliance reserves 30,000,000 fabric masks, etc.
