As of the end of 2021, more than 20000 plywood production enterprises have been shut down nationwide.
The production capacity of wood-based panels in China has been continuously increasing since 2016, and has shown an overall decline since 2021. According to statistics from the China Forestry Industry Association, as of the end of 2022, there are over 10800 plywood product production enterprises in China, distributed in 28 provinces and cities, with a total production capacity of approximately 208 million cubic meters per year.
In recent years, the supply side reform of the plywood industry has been deeply carried out, and the rectification of “small scattered and dirty” enterprises has been continuously promoted. The number of enterprise closures has been increasing year by year. As of the end of 2021, more than 20520 plywood production enterprises have been cancelled, revoked, or suspended nationwide.
In recent years, the overall production capacity of fiberboard and particle board has shown an upward trend, of which the growth trend of particle board production capacity is the most significant. By the end of 2022, the total production capacity of 295 particle board production enterprises nationwide will be 41.48 million cubic meters per year, up 6.5% year on year; 307 fiberboard production enterprises nationwide have 344 fiberboard production lines, with a total production capacity of 47.78 million cubic meters per year, a decrease compared to the previous year.
In 2021, China’s artificial board production reached 336.73 million cubic meters, a year-on-year increase of 8.27%. In 2021, the national production of plywood products was 212 million cubic meters, accounting for 62.9% of the total production of artificial boards; The national production of fiberboard products is 64.17 million cubic meters, accounting for 19.1% of the total production of artificial boards; The national output of particle board products is 39.63 million cubic meters, accounting for 11.8% of the total output of wood-based panels. The output of particle board products increased by 32.01% year on year, which is the main factor driving the growth of China’s wood-based panel production.
According to the statistics of the Forestry Industry Association, in 2021, the consumption of artificial board products in China was approximately 318 million cubic meters, a year-on-year increase of 7.5% and a continuous growth for three consecutive years; Over the past decade, the average annual growth rate has been close to 5.1%, and the average growth rate of consumption has been higher than the growth rate of production.
Among them, the national consumption of plywood products was 198 million cubic meters, a year-on-year increase of 6.9%; The consumption of fiberboard products was 59.1 million cubic meters, slightly lower than the previous year, with a year-on-year decrease of 0.9%; The consumption of particle board products was 39.65 million cubic meters, up 27.7% year on year.
