The global plywood market is valued at US$ 85.5 Bn as of 2023. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% during the period 2023-2033, and by 2033, the market is expected to be valued at US$ 156.9 Bn.

One of the major factors behind market growth is rapid urbanization. This has ultimately led to the growth of the construction sector because of the increase in infrastructural activities. Companies which are involved in infrastructural activities are making use of plywood because of its robust physical properties and its ability to absorb moisture. Apart from that, the plywood comes with the ability to provide seamless operation in areas which are prone to seismic activities and cyclonic winds.

Moreover, even the maritime sector is increasingly making use of plywood. The ability to control the growth of fungus, coupled with the ability to withstand the effects of water is expected to surge the adoption in marine industry.

Increase in disposable income has led to a number of people to investing in new houses. Increase in the number of houses would certainly imply an increase in the demand for plywood, as the investors are mainly betting on its stability and strength to weight ratio. Apart from that, the ability to be resistant to chemicals ensures that the plywood is highly durable.

Most importantly, a surging interior design and furniture industry represent a massive scope for the market. Both sectors are gradually replacing conventional woods by plywood owing to its versatility and generation of low waste. Furthermore, the furniture sector is awestruck by the ability of plywood to accommodate short-term overload. The interior design sector is mainly counting on the panel shear of plywood, which is almost double what is offered by conventional wood. Owing to this, plywood is used in portal frames.

Thus, from the insights provided by FMI researchers, it can be inferred that, “an increase in the rate of urbanization, coupled with the increase in the disposable income and a number of other factors are expected to surge the adoption of plywood during the forecast period.”
