Figures from the General Statistics Office of Vietnam show that shipments of ceramic items jumped 16 percent to $369 million in 2011. In the first six months of 2012, foreign sales grew 21percent to $204 million.
The handicrafts industry, which includes the home furnishings segment, is projected to post a growth of up to 12 percent in 2012 amid strong demand from traditional and emerging destinations. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development forecasts turnover to reach $1.5 billion by 2015.
