US demand for cabinets is forecast to rise 8.2 percent annually to $15.3 billion in 2016, driven by a rebound in housing completions. The dominant kitchen cabinet segment will see the fastest growth. Demand will also be boosted by design trends that call for homes with more and larger cabinets to store food products and cookware.

This study analyzes the $10.3 billion US cabinet industry. It presents historical demand data for the years 2001, 2006 and 2011, and forecasts for 2016 and 2021 by material (e.g., lumber, engineered wood, wood veneer, decorative laminates, metal, glass), product (e.g., kitchen cabinets, bathroom cabinets), market (e.g., residential, nonresidential, nonconstruction) and region.

The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 32 industry players, including MasterBrand Cabinets, Masco and American Woodmark.
