Canada Industrial Wood Coatings Market Trends

Increasing Demand from Joinery Sector

• Industrial wood coatings are mostly used in doors, windows, trim, and cabinets in the joinery industry. The consumption of wooden coatings in the country has increased significantly to protect these wooden surfaces from various stains and scratches.
• With the growing construction of housing units in Canada, the need for kitchen cabinets for various household functions, such as cooking and storing utensils, is also increasing.
• The need for joinery is significantly associated with the rise in new homes, as wood is the most common material for internal doors in the region, while wooden and plastic doors are used for outside doors. For instance, in Canada, in 2021, the housing stock increased by around 200 thousand units to 14.874 million units compared to 2020.
• Furthermore, in Canada, almost 24,000 more new housing construction starts in the second quarter of 2022 than in the first quarter.
• Thus, with the increasing number of housing construction units in Canada, the demand for wood coatings in the joinery sector is increasing, which is likely to drive market growth during the forecast period.

Rising Demand for Furniture

• Industrial wood coatings protect wooden furniture from several factors, such as water, sunlight, dust, and other chemical effects, such as oil and grease.
• These coatings are also used to make furniture more aesthetically appealing. In the construction sector, wood furniture is commonly used.
• The demand for furniture, such as chairs, tables, sofas, shelves, etc., has been rising significantly as a result of rising housing construction because of the growing population and increasing disposable income level in Canada.
• Furthermore, with the constantly expanding service industry and changing lifestyles, people have been shifting to new regions, propelling the trend of hostels, co-living, guest homes, and official premises. This is likely to increase demand for various furniture products in Canada.
• Over the past few years, the manufacture of office furniture has significantly boosted Canada's GDP. For instance, the GDP for the sector that manufactures office furniture was around CAD 1.66 billion (~1.2 USD billion) in February 2022, representing an increase of more than 40% compared to 2021.
• In addition, with the increasing demand for wooden furniture, the number of furniture stores in the country has increased. For instance, there were 3,088 furniture stores across Canada as of December 2021.
• Thus, increased demand for wooden furniture is expected throughout the forecast period, which is likely to result in higher consumption of wooden coatings in the country.
