Wood Manufacturing Market in Romania 2016-2020

Outlook of the wood manufacturing market in Romania

According to Technavio’s market research analyst, the wood manufacturing market in Romania will grow steadily at a CAGR of almost 5% by 2020. The easy availability of raw materials is a significant factor spurring this market’s growth prospects over the next few years. In Romania, around 28% of the land is covered with forests. The Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP) implemented new afforestation policies that led to the re-forestation of thousands of square kilometers of land in Europe, including Romania. The forests in Europe are now growing at approximately 0.45 million hectares every year. This increase in the forest cover has led to the easy availability of wood for the wood manufacturing industry.

This market study also expects the high demand for medium-density fiberboard (MDF) products to spur the prospects for market growth during the estimated period. MDF is a composite panel manufactured by combining wood fiber and resin. It is recyclable, durable, and can be used to manufacture designer furniture. Additionally, as powder-coated MDF has a lower carbon and ecological footprint compared to materials with solvent-borne and water-borne coatings, its demand among the end users will increase significantly over the next few years.
