Generally, Vietnamese enterprises exported more than 1.3 billion medical masks of all kinds in the January-November period, with the peak in June with 236.12 million masks.
In fact, the face mask export has been boosted since the end of April, following the Government’s Resolution 60 allowing the unlimited export volume. Since then, many enterprises in the garment and textile industry have continuously increased their production, while the fields heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic have also invested in machinery, shifting to the production of masks, creating a "fever" in the country.

Japanese, Korea, Germany, and the US are Vietnam’s four main export markets. In addition, masks are also exported to Hong Kong, Singapore, Poland, Australia, China, Laos, and South Africa.
