Plywood Market 2023

Plywood Market Drivers:

Expanding production capacity is a common strategy employed by manufacturers to increase business volume. When demand rises, it becomes necessary to enhance production capabilities, considering it as a critical aspect of the value chain that requires investment. Capacity expansion involves defining the required process machinery and workforce. Manufacturers often adopt a “lead capacity strategy” by seeking out developing countries as future industrial centers. These countries offer ample opportunities for development, construction, and new industrial establishments. Plywood, known for its cost-effectiveness and durability, experiences high demand in such regions. Despite the initially high setup costs, many manufacturers choose to expand production capacity due to promising market potential and long-term return on investment. For a comprehensive overview of industry value, including construction, please refer to the table below, which presents the value added in USD million.

Plywood Market Restraints:

The price volatility of plywood over time has significant implications for both distributors and consumers. To meet the demand for reliable, high-quality, and cost-effective products, the industry has turned to alternatives such as Medium-Density Fiberboard (MDF). MDF is an engineered wood board created by combining small pieces of softwood and hardwood with wax and resin binder under high temperature and pressure. It is then given the appearance of a board using a panel. Compared to other plywood types, MDF is generally more affordable, which has contributed to its remarkable growth in the Asia Pacific market. MDF offers a relatively flat surface, making it ideal for painting, and its uniform composition ensures smooth, void-free edges when cut. These attributes have hindered the growth of plywood in the projected period.

Plywood Market Opportunity:

The plastics market is currently experiencing the impact of rising feedstock prices, leading to increased costs for intermediate and finished goods. To address this, the plastic value chain is shifting towards a more circular approach, where recycled plastics offer competitive pricing. Policies such as plastics fees and recycled content targets can create financial incentives to limit plastic usage and promote circularity. Many countries have recently strengthened regulations to stimulate both the supply and demand for recycled plastics, supporting secondary markets. Encouraging signs of progress include the decoupling of prices for primary and secondary polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in Europe and advancements in recycling technology. Incorporating recycled plastic into production reduces the cost of finished goods, making them more affordable and preferable to consumers.

Plywood Market Challenges:

The construction and infrastructure development industries have faced significant uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To navigate this challenging situation, businesses can establish public-private partnerships, which can help them secure new contracts and generate a substantial demand for various materials, including plywood. Public-private partnerships are widely utilized in many countries and are gaining popularity in the United States, particularly in large-scale projects. By fostering collaboration between government and private sector partners, significant cost savings can be achieved, as exemplified by practices in developing countries like India. India has experienced a significant increase in the adoption of public-private partnerships over the past decade and has become a major market for such ventures globally. This trend has a positive impact on plywood demand, as it finds application in numerous end-use industries, including packaging, building and construction, and housing, among others.

Global Plywood Market Outlook 2023:

The rehabilitation segment is projected to have the highest growth rate during the forecast period, driven by the creation of new uses for existing structures and the emphasis on sustainability. Knowledge dissemination on rehabilitation procedures can support global market strategies.

The hardwood segment is expected to be the fastest-growing type in the plywood market. Hardwoods, such as oak, walnut, and maple, are angiosperm trees with complex structures, slower growth, and durable lumber. They are commonly used in flooring, cladding, furniture, and high-traffic applications.

The plywood market in the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to have the highest growth rate. Factors such as economic growth, manufacturing industries, cheap labor, and increased demand for high-quality products drive the plywood market in this region. The growing middle-class population and industrialization further contribute to its expansion.

North America also demonstrates significant growth in the plywood market, driven by technological advancements and high-quality products. Plywood is a trusted building material known for its dimensional stability, strength, and versatility. Despite manufacturing plant shifts to Asia Pacific, North America remains one of the largest consumers of plywood.
