Vietnam’s Pangasius Export Outlook 2025

Bởi Meksea Thao - March 5, 2025

MEKSEA.COM – The year 2025 is expected to be a important year, with high hopes that Pangasius export industry in general, and the pangasius sector in particular, will reach new milestones. 

 

Pangasius Export

Strong Growth Opportunities in the U.S. Market

The key driver for the growth of pangasius exports in 2025 is believed to stem from the agreement between Vietnam and the United States on resolving the anti-dumping tariff dispute at the World Trade Organization (WTO). This agreement is anticipated to create significant opportunities for Vietnamese businesses. The U.S. compliance with the WTO ruling provides a more stable outlook for Vietnam’s pangasius exports to this market while also demonstrating a commitment to strengthening the multifaceted relationship between Vietnam and the United States.

The demand for pangasius in the U.S. is projected to rise due to its competitive pricing compared to other imported fillet fish. Moreover, substitute products such as pollock and tilapia from Russia and China are expected to face unfavorable factors in 2025, creating more favorable conditions for Vietnamese pangasius. It is predicted that pangasius could replace a significant portion of tilapia’s market share in the U.S. by 2025.

 

Vietnam’s Pangasius Export Outlook 2025

The Chinese Market Maintains Demand but Poses Challenges

Despite a decline in January 2025, China remains one of Vietnam’s two largest importers of pangasius. Demand from this market is considered stable. This stability is likely driven by the long-term consumption trend of Chinese consumers, particularly in the food service, restaurant, and food processing sectors. However, this stability may be influenced by various external factors, such as shifts in consumer preferences, changes in China’s food import policies, or the country’s overall economic situation.

Other Markets

The UK’s accession to the CPTPP could provide new momentum for pangasius exports to the UK, creating a competitive advantage for Vietnamese exports in this market. ASEAN and the Middle East have also been identified as key target markets with strong potential for Vietnamese seafood exports in 2025.

Conclusion

Overall, the outlook for Vietnam’s pangasius exports in 2025 is positive, particularly with significant opportunities in the U.S. market following the anti-dumping tariff agreement. However, businesses must proactively address challenges in other markets and focus on improving product quality and value to achieve sustainable growth.
