San Jose, California (PRWEB) September 19, 2014
Follow us on LinkedIn - Plywood is a flat panel comprising thin sheets of wood. The sheets are bound together under high pressure and excessive heat with an adhesive made of resin, forming a plywood panel. Major types of plywood panels include softwood plywood and hardwood plywood. Plywood, being resistant to splitting, cracking, twisting, and shrinking, is used as an alternative for conventional wood, offering more strength in comparison to conventional wood. Various benefits offered by plywood in comparison to plain wood, plastic and metal and increasing importance of versatile engineered wood in construction are expected to drive demand.
New housing construction, and activities related to repair and remodeling represent primary growth drivers in the global plywood market. The recovering global GDP is forecast to provide a fertile environment for demand growth in the coming years. Resurgence in construction activity worldwide is expected to have a direct impact on demand from different end-use markets such as multi-family housing, single-family housing, commercial real estate, and institutional construction. A slow and modest recovery in the construction industry in the United States, coupled with steady gains in construction spending in developing countries including BRICs, is expected to benefit demand for plywood. Increased investment in industrial and infrastructure sectors additionally bodes well for the market.
Stringent government regulations calling for mandatory renovation and reconstruction for ageing buildings, both residential and commercial, will continue to drive demand for building materials such as plywood. In addition to the construction sector, demand for plywood is also expected to grow due to increasing use in building decks in marine applications. Structural panel market is expected to provide major opportunities for growth. Production of plywood is rapidly shifting from North America, Europe and South Asia to China, which has emerged as a major supplier of plywood worldwide. Quality and cost continue to drive the plywood supply mix worldwide, while various other factors including price and trade relations threaten to shift trade routes. Anti-dumping duties and sustainability focused regulations are impacting demand in the international market.
As stated by the new market research report on Plywood, Asia-Pacific represents the largest as well as the fastest growing regional market worldwide, registering a CAGR of 6.3% over the analysis period. Steady economic growth, increasing disposable income, rising standards of living, expanding middle-class, and increased investments in residential settlements and infrastructure facilities, represent key factors driving growth in the region.
