Wood Based Panel demand: New Research Report Analysis, And Forecast 2013 - 2019
A wood based panel is a general term for a variety of different board products, which have an impressive range of engineering properties. Wood based panels are primarily used in construction, packaging, and shipping. Wood based panels can be classified into different product segments such as softwood plywood, particle-board and medium density fiber board, decorative hardwood plywood and veneer (under 6mm thick), waferboard and other structural composite boards, insulation board and hardboard. Growing deforestation leading to global warming has spurred the demand for efficient timber utilization, in turn driving the global wood based panels market. Technological advancements and increased efficiency in manufacturing of wood based panels is expected to bolster the demand for wood based panels. On the other hand, rapid increases in the cost of petroleum-based fuels and products continue to escalate the production and marketing costs of wood-based panel products, i...
