Medium Density Fiberboard Industry

The global medium density fiberboard market size is expected to reach USD 67.64 billion by 2030 to expand at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2023 to 2030 according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The demand for medium density fiberboard (MDF) is expected to increase in the forecast period on account of its rising consumption in construction, furniture, and building & construction industry. Medium density fiberboard panels are widely used in manufacturing furniture pieces for use in homes, hotels, and workplaces. The panels can be carved into attractive designs to provide an aesthetic appeal to the aforementioned spaces. These factors are likely to drive the product demand in furniture application in the forecast period.

The production of wood-based panels in recent years has been pushed by the advancements in production technology and adhesive formulations, accompanied by control techniques and online measuring. The need to improve product quality and minimize manufacturing costs has resulted in the aforementioned changes. Furthermore, the production of lightweight furniture & wood products and innovations in surfacing to apply new coating materials have emerged as the key trends in the industry. Efforts to reduce the side-effects of medium density fiberboard panels on the human and overall environment have brought up formaldehyde emissions to a safer side.

Growing population, rainfall uncertainty, and rapid industrialization across the globe are some of the major factors that have resulted in deforestation, which, in turn, has led to low availability of the raw materials. This has also contributed to an increase in raw material prices, thereby negatively impacting the cost of medium density fiberboard panels. Increasing product prices and high competition among the industry players are expected to hamper the profit margins of the market players over the forecast period. Factors such as unique manufacturing technologies adopted by these players, level of backward, and forward integration have resulted in variation in their product prices, thus affecting their value chain with different price structures.
