Demand for wood panels in residential construction is forecast to increase 0.9% annually through 2024 to 28.3 million square feet, as measured on a 3/8 inch basis, despite a significant drop in 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is expected to cause new home construction to fall.
However, demand will return to growth beginning in 2021 and continue to expand through 2024, driven by:
- a rebound in new single-family home construction
- rising spending on home renovation projects
- increased specification of wood panels in a number of construction applications, including finish flooring installed in new homes and as wall sheathing
Roofing to Remain Leading Residential Wood Panel Application
Roofing accounted for nearly a third of residential wood panel demand in 2019 and is expected to remain the leading application through 2024. An increase in roofing renovation projects both to fix damaged roofs and to strengthen existing roofs will support demand gains. OSB is the dominant residential roofing wood panel product and is expected to increase its market share through 2024 at the expense of softwood plywood because of its superior durability and lower cost.
Rising OSB Use to Boost Residential Wood Panel Demand
OSB is the leading residential wood panel product, as it is used in a number of structurally essential applications, including subflooring, roofing, wall sheathing, and siding. OSB is expected to see increased use in many of these applications because of its:
- high strength
- durability
- limited board imperfections
- resistance to impact and fire
- good thermal and acoustic properties
Subflooring is the only application where OSB products are maturing, as they have already taken much share from softwood plywood. In subflooring applications, softwood plywood retains share because it is less likely to retain water than OSB.
Though More Volatile than Renovation, New Construction Will Support Gains
New home construction fell off in the first half of 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated what was already a cyclical downturn in housing construction, leading to corresponding sharp drops in wood panel demand. Home renovation supported the wood panel market, as homeowners undertook home improvement projects they may not have had time to facilitate before. Following a strong rebound in 2021, the large new construction market is once again expected to sustain demand growth for wood panels used in residential construction.
