The US market for plywood is projected to expand at a 0.5% annual rate through 2024 to 14.9 billion square feet on a 3/8-inch basis, a substantial deceleration from the 2014-2019 period. Demand in value terms will climb 1.7% annually to $6.7 billion in 2024. Despite longer term gains, plywood demand is forecast to fall in 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is expected to cause:
Demand will return to growth beginning in 2021 and continue to expand through 2024, principally driven by increased spending on home renovation projects and rising manufacturing output.
The industrial market is expected to account for more than half of all plywood demand gains through 2024. Despite stagnation in production of furniture – the largest application for plywood in industrial markets – suppliers will benefit from:
Plywood accounts for the second largest share of wood panel demand behind oriented strand board (OSB). However, plywood is expected to lose share through 2024 in applications where softwood plywood competes with OSB – such as roofing and wall sheathing – because OSB typically offers similar performance at a lower cost. Plywood will continue to compete successfully in:
In the construction market, plywood will find increased use in flooring applications:
Demand for plywood for roofing and wall sheathing, on the other hand, is expected to decline due to competition from less expensive OSB as well as from non-wood materials.
