Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product composed of wood fibres that are mixed along with resin and wax and compressed into flat panels under heat and pressure. It is denser than plywood and does not expand or contract in humid or moist weather. It also offers superior quality and is usually available at a significantly lower price point when compared to other wood products. Owing to these advantages, MDF is widely utilized in a variety of residential and commercial projects, which include flooring, furniture, cabinetry, ceiling molding and industrial packaging.

The burgeoning building and construction industry, especially in developing countries, represents one of the primary factors contributing to the growth of the global MDF market. Moreover, MDF is an environment-friendly wood product, which is manufactured using recycled wood, and aids in saving trees and protecting the environment. As a result, governments in various countries are encouraging individuals to adopt wood panels, which is further impelling the MDF market growth. Furthermore, on account of rapid urbanization, rising global population and inflating income levels, there is a rise in the number of commercial and residential spaces. This, in turn, is anticipated to boost the overall sales of MDF in the coming years.
