Wood based panels are made from wood chips, strips, veneers, strands or fibres. They comprise particleboard, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), high-density fiberboard (HDF), plywood, softboard, hardboard, and oriented strand board (OSB). They are cost-efficient due to the utilization of surface veneering technology of particleboard and moderate density fiberboard in their manufacturing. In addition, they are moisture and temperature-resistant with enhanced shape stability compared to solid wood furniture. As a result, they find extensive applications in the construction, packaging, and shipping industries across the globe.

Wood Based Panels Market Trends:
At present, there is a rise in the utilization of wood based panels for providing high structural durability to roofs and floors, walls, beams, doors, and staircases. This, along with the growing demand for oriented strand board (OSB) as it is a cost-effective solution for home construction, represents one of the key factors driving the market. Moreover, governments of several countries are extensively investing in the infrastructure development of residential and commercial sectors around the world. This, coupled with the burgeoning construction industry, is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, the rising demand for aesthetically appealing furniture among individuals is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Besides this, key market players are performing research and development (R&D) activities to introduce innovation in the production processes of wood based panels. In line with this, they are focusing on capacity expansion to cater to the increasing demand for wood based panels among consumers, which is positively influencing the market. Apart from this, the mechanical innovation and expanding productivity in fixing, assembling, and redesigning exercises of wood based panels are bolstering the growth of the market. Other growth-inducing factors are rapid urbanization, the growing global population, and inflating income levels of individuals.
