In the realm of construction, the use of engineered wood products is gaining momentum, especially in the non-residential sector. With advancements like cross-laminated timber and oriented strand boards, these products offer eco-friendly alternatives while addressing concerns such as deforestation and formaldehyde emissions. Architects and builders increasingly opt for composite wood and laminated veneer lumber for their versatility and durability. Moreover, the adoption of unmanned aerial vehicles aids in efficient construction monitoring and assessment, further enhancing sustainable practices within the industry. As energy conservation becomes a priority, the demand for engineered wood in commercial and industrial applications continues to rise, driven by its reliability and eco-conscious attributes.
In the bustling construction sector, various components play crucial roles, including columns and staircases, which are essential for structural integrity and accessibility. Shopping centers are prominent projects in this sector, requiring meticulous planning and execution to accommodate diverse commercial needs. Cross-laminated timber emerges as a sustainable choice, offering strength and eco-friendliness, while advancements in adhesives/resins enhance durability. Plywood finds widespread use in packaging, commercial, and industrial applications, serving as a versatile material for constructing chairs, tables, and even wooden beds. From restoration activities to modern construction ventures, these elements collectively shape the landscape of the construction industry, facilitating growth and innovation. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Increasing residential and commercial construction activities are notably driving the engineered wood market growth. Developed economies such as the US are planning to invest significantly in infrastructural development. The rising focus on infrastructural and real estate development, as well as the construction of new residences and offices, is expected to increase the sales of new wood products and furnishings. The rising demand for wood products is also complemented by the increase in the number of renovation and modification projects across key countries such as the US, China, and India.
The rise in the number of multinational and global companies, as well as technology and business parks due to favorable trade relations between countries and government policies, such as relaxation in FDI norms, is estimated to increase the demand for wood products in offices and other commercial spaces during the forecast period. The real estate industry is growing significantly in key countries such as the US due to the increasing construction of offices, commercial complexes, and residences. This will drive the growth of the regional as well as the global wood products market during the forecast period. Hence, the growth of the real estate industry across the world will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Rising wages in key manufacturing hubs are a key trend influencing the engineered wood products market growth. The primary factor contributing to rising wages is rapid urbanization and industrialization in emerging economies, especially in countries such as China, India, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia. The growth of the global economy, driven by growth in the GDP of countries such as China and India, also leads to increased wages. In addition, urbanization is a key factor for rising wages. With the growth in urbanization, people in low-income countries are opting for a high quality of life, which is driving the trend of rising wages in these countries.
Several government initiatives across emerging economies have encouraged urbanization, which is directly impacting wage growth. For instance, initiatives by the Indian government, such as the Smart Cities Mission and the Sardar Patel National Urban Housing Mission, aim to improve the standard of living of the people, which is expected to contribute to an increase in wages. This is expected to be a trend in the market during the forecast period.
High volatility in raw material prices may impede the engineered wood products market growth. The cost of wood has increased considerably in recent times. In addition, the prices of raw materials such as chipboard, timber, foam, polish chemical materials, color paints, and hardware used in making furniture have increased. The cost of wood particleboard has increased because of volatility in the input and transportation costs, as well as the continuous downsizing of furniture manufacturers' production capacities.
The fluctuations in raw material prices are estimated to have an adverse effect on profitability, the cost of sales, and the ability of Companies to address the demands of consumers effectively. Furthermore, plastic and polymers, which are extensively used to produce furniture products, are derivatives of crude oil products. Fluctuating crude oil prices have a direct adverse effect on the pricing strategies of raw material suppliers. Hence, they have an adverse impact on companies. Thus, the volatility in raw material prices is estimated to be a key challenge for the market during the forecast period.
