Engineered wood products are manufactured by binding or fixing together wood strands, veneers, particles, or fibers with adhesives to form a composite material. This process enables the manufacture of wood products with enhanced durability and structural integrity when compared to natural wood. Engineered wood finds wide application in the construction industry in flooring, roofing, exterior siding, and beams owing to properties like dimensional stability, strength, and moisture resistance. Rising demand for affordable and sustainable construction materials is expected to drive the growth of the engineered wood market in the coming years.
Market Dynamics:
The global engineered wood market is driven by factors such as rapid urbanization, growth in the real estate, and construction industries and rising consumer preference for green building materials. Engineered wood possesses properties such as dimensional stability, strength and moisture resistance which makes it suitable for applications in flooring, roofing, and beams where durability is important. This coupled with its affordable price point compared to solid wood has supported its increasing adoption. However, factors such as fluctuating raw material prices and stringent forestry regulations in certain countries pose a challenge to market growth. Ongoing R&D towards the development of engineered wood variants with superior performance characteristics presents an opportunity for market players to expand to niche application areas such as automotive and marine interiors.
