Plywood Market 2022 Key Players, SWOT Analysis, Key Indicators and Forecast to 2028
Global infrastructural development has reached newer heights in the last few years, with massive constructions – both residential and commercial – mushrooming across both Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities across the world. This has led to impressive growth of the global building and construction industry and as a consequence positively impacted revenues of ancillary industries. Plywood is an inherent component of the construction industry – being widely used in manufacturing readymade and customised furniture.
“Growth in global consumption of plywood is pegged to
increase at a decadal rate of 4.6% to reach 164,402 cubic meters by the end of
2022. This growth is attributable to the continuous demand from end-use
industries especially the furniture production industry.” ---
Future Market Insights
Future Market Insights (FMI) throws light on some of the
key factors boosting revenues in the global market for plywood. Plywood
finds increasing use across diverse applications ranging from furniture,
flooring, and packaging of high-value goods. This is anticipated to boost sales
of plywood in the global market, according to Future Market Insights forecasts.
A growth in residential and commercial spaces across the world has further
boosted the demand for readymade and aesthetically designed furniture,
incorporating extensive use of plywood. With people opting for designer
furniture, the demand for plywood from the furniture industry is already
peaking and this is anticipated to augment revenues in the global plywood market.
Besides, there is an increasing global phenomena promoting
the use of wood and wood based products in the construction of both residential
as well as commercial buildings. This trend is being supported by laws enforced
at the administrative level. For instance, Japan’s “Act for Promotion of Use of
Wood Products in Public Buildings, 2010” seeks to encourage the use of plywood
in the construction sector. Global construction projects focusing on wooden
skyscrapers such as the Oakwood Timber Tower are also expected to positively
impact demand for plywood in the coming years.
Wood and wood based products such as plywood are
eco-friendly in nature, encouraging the plantation of trees to meet the rising
demand. Plywood and other ancillary wood products contribute to environmental
protection. This is another factor acting in favour of the plywood market.
This study by FMI on the plywood market further identifies
the growing importance of plywood in the global packaging industry as a key
demand driver. “Plywood has enhanced mechanical strength besides being
lightweight in nature. Plywood is also reusable and helps save on costs. This
makes plywood the best packaging option for various types of products. With the
current ban on plastic for product packaging, plywood is being increasingly
adopted as a highly effective raw material to package different types of goods.
This is expected to boost revenues in the global plywood market.”
Lucrative Opportunities Lie in the African Timberlands
for both Existing Players and New Market Entrants
The presence of vast expanses of land in Africa coupled with
the overall low costs of maintenance and production in the region make Africa a
very attractive choice for the growth of forestry and the manufacturing of wood
products, particularly plywood. Manufacturers in the global plywood market are
looking at lucrative growth prospects in the African continent, given the
region’s huge natural timberlands and mature plantations. Harvesting of plywood
in the African forests is both cost-effective and environment friendly. This is
boosting the setting up of backward integrated units manufacturing plywood,
hence creating highly lucrative opportunities for players in the global plywood
market.
Massive growth of the global construction industry has resulted
in the pumping in of huge infrastructure investments by both private sector and
public sector enterprises. This is likely to broaden the horizon for regional
manufacturers of plywood with endless possibilities for revenue growth.
Adoption of Plywood in Digital Printing Trending the
Global Market
Plywood is increasingly finding application as a substrate
in high-scale inkjet printing projects. Plywood is used as an alternative to
aluminium and plastic sheets owing to its non-reflective nature. Digitally
printed plywood serves as an excellent substitute for several outdoor
applications such as fence and road signs, as it is highly durable. This is the
latest trend dotting the global plywood landscape, pushing revenues in the
global market.
