Engineered Wood Market Analysis and Global Forecast 2023-2033

Engineered Wood Market Overview

Engineered Wood Market Size is expected to reach USD 490.20 Billion by 2033. The Engineered Wood industry size accounted for USD 297.66 Billion in 2023 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.98% from 2023 to 2033. Engineered wood, also referred to as composite wood or man made wood, is a composite material fabricated through the combination of wood fibers, strands, veneers, or particles with adhesives and other additives. It is engineered to possess improved structural integrity, dimensional stability, and performance characteristics when compared to solid wood. The manufacturing process involves breaking down wood components into smaller elements or utilizing thin wood veneers, which are then combined with adhesives and subjected to high temperature and pressure to form a cohesive composite structure. The adhesive systems employed typically comprise resins or synthetic binders, which ensure effective bonding between the wood components.
