Plywood Market Grows with Rising Furniture Demand and Housing Construction

Market Overview

The global plywood market is expected to reach USD 98.1 billion by 2030. The market is anticipated to witness a CAGR of 4.2% over the forecast period. Increasing demand for furniture in the residential sector is expected to drive the market over the forecast period.

Plywood is an engineered wood product made by gluing together veneers, or thin sheets of wood, with an adhesive. It is widely used in the construction and furniture industries due to its high strength-to-weight ratio and durability.

The global plywood market is expected to witness significant growth on account of the growing construction industry. Increasing population and rapid urbanization are projected to result in an increased demand for residential and commercial buildings, which in turn is anticipated to drive the market for plywood. Additionally, the increasing popularity of wooden furniture is expected to propel the demand for plywood over the forecast period.

Growing environmental concerns and stringent regulations regarding the use of wood products are anticipated to restrain market growth. The volatile cost of raw materials is also expected to have a negative impact on the market.

The Asia-Pacific region is the largest market for plywood and is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of the Asia-Pacific plywood market can be attributed to the increasing construction activities and furniture production in the region. China is the largest producer and consumer of plywood in the world and is also the fastest-growing market for plywood.

The North American plywood market is expected to grow at a moderate rate during the forecast period. The United States is the major contributor to the growth of this market owing to the growing demand from the construction industry.

The European plywood market is expected to grow at a steady pace during the forecast period. Germany, Italy, France, and Spain are some of the major markets for plywood in Europe.

The global plywood market is highly competitive with a large number of players. The key players in the market are Weyerhaeuser Company, Georgia-Pacific LLC, Louisiana-Pacific Corporation, Roseburg Forest Products Company, Arauco S.A., Hijau Group, Sumitomo Forestry Co., Ltd., Unilin Beaulieu International Group N.V., Kastamonu Entegre A.Ş., Rex Lumber Company, Inc., and Veneer Technologies International LLC.

Market Segmentation

The global plywood market is segmented on the basis of type and application. Based on type, the market is divided into hardwood plywood, softwood plywood, tropical plywood, and others. Hardwood plywood is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to its superior strength and durability. It finds applications in construction, packaging, furniture making, and others. Softwood plywood is anticipated to be the second-largest segment as it is widely used in construction activities due to its high stiffness and strength. Tropical plywood is projected to register the third-largest share by 2030 as it offers better resistance against insects and decay. It finds applications in furniture making and construction.

On the basis of application, the global plywood market has been divided into construction, packaging, furniture making, and others. Construction was the largest application segment in 2022 due to rising infrastructure development activities across the globe. The packaging segment is expected to grow at a significant pace over the forecast period on account of the increasing utilization of plywood for crating and palletizing purposes. Furniture making was the third-largest application segment in 2022 as plywood finds wide use in manufacturing office furniture, home furniture, and other wooden products.

Market Restraints

The global plywood market is expected to witness moderate growth over the forecast period. This can be attributed to various restraining factors such as the availability of substitutes, stringent environmental regulations, and fluctuating raw material prices.

Plywood is used in a variety of applications where it faces stiff competition from substitutes such as particle board, fiberboard, and medium-density fiberboard. These substitutes are made from cheaper materials and offer similar strength and durability as plywood. This is expected to hamper the growth of the global plywood market over the forecast period.

The production of plywood involves cutting down trees which have led to concerns over deforestation. This has resulted in various governments imposing strict environmental regulations on the forestry industry which is expected to act as a restraint on the growth of the global plywood market.

The cost of raw materials such as wood veneers and adhesives fluctuates frequently due to changes in demand and supply conditions. This volatility often leads to an increase in the final price of plywood which makes it uncompetitive against its substitutes. This is another factor that is expected to hamper market growth over the forecast period.
