Market Highlights
The Global Plywood Market is projected to be valued at USD 87.65 Billion by 2034, recording a CAGR of around 11.25% during the forecast period. The Plywood Market refers to the global industry involved in the production, distribution, and sale of plywood, a type of engineered wood product made by gluing together thin layers of wood veneers, with the grain of each layer typically oriented perpendicular to the adjacent layer. This process gives plywood its strength, stability, and resistance to warping, making it a popular choice in various applications.
The plywood market is dynamic, influenced by factors like technological advancements in manufacturing, environmental regulations, and consumer preferences for sustainable and high-quality materials.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the plywood market. Lockdowns and restrictions on movement led to disruptions in the supply chain, causing delays in the availability of raw materials like timber. Many sawmills and veneer production facilities were either shut down or operated at reduced capacity, leading to a shortage of plywood. Many plywood manufacturing plants were forced to shut down or operate at reduced capacity due to health guidelines, labour shortages, and a drop in demand during the initial phase of the pandemic. The construction industry, a major consumer of plywood, experienced a slowdown due to halted projects, reduced investments, and uncertainty in the real estate market. This led to a sharp decline in demand for plywood during the early stages of the pandemic. The trend of home improvement and renovation, driven by remote working and the need for better home environments, continued to support demand for plywood, particularly in residential applications. The pandemic heightened awareness of environmental issues, leading to a greater demand for sustainable and certified plywood products. Consumers and businesses became more conscious of the environmental impact of their purchases, driving demand for plywood from responsibly managed forests.
