Structure of wood-based panel market segmentation
According to different raw materials and production processes, wood-based panels can be divided into plywood, fiberboard, particle board, blockboard, etc. From the perspective of the product structure of artificial board supply, plywood accounts for the main proportion of the artificial board market, followed by fiberboard. In 2021, plywood production will account for 61%, fiberboard 18%, and particle board 11%.
The production and sales of plywood and particle board increased steadily
Supply and demand situation of plywood
Plywood is a three-layer or multi-layer board like material made by rotating and cutting wood segments into veneer or planing wood into thin wood, and then bonding with adhesive. It is usually made of odd layer veneer, and the fiber directions of adjacent layers of veneer are perpendicular to each other.
From 2013 to 2021, the overall production of plywood showed an upward trend, while the growth rate of plywood sales has continued to decline in the past decade. But plywood is still the main consumer segment in the artificial board industry.

Supply and demand situation of fiberboard
Fiberboard, also known as density board, is a man-made board made from wood fibers or other plant-based fibers and applied with urea formaldehyde resin or other suitable adhesives.
From 2013 to 2021, the overall production of plywood showed an upward trend, while the growth rate of plywood sales has continued to decline in the past decade. But plywood is still the main consumer segment in the artificial board industry. With the increasing environmental requirements of the country for artificial boards, fiberboards can be recycled using plant fibers such as straw and sugarcane bagasse, fully practicing the business philosophy of environmental protection and green production, thereby promoting a continuous increase in fiberboard production. Since 2017, due to the supply side reform of the artificial board industry, the production and sales of fiberboard have continued to decline.

Supply and demand of particle board
Particle board is a kind of wood-based panel made from wood or other lignocellulosic materials, which is glued under the action of heat and pressure after applying adhesive. It is also called particleboard. Mainly used in the fields of furniture manufacturing, construction industry, and train and car carriage manufacturing.
In recent years, with the introduction of foreign advanced production lines and the improvement of domestic process level, the quality of particle board in China has been continuously improved and re accepted by the market. Many furniture manufacturers have re selected particle board as the raw material. With the decline of the real estate cycle, the domestic wood-based panel market has entered a mature stage. Under the stock game, the particle board industry with advantages in production technology, scale efficiency and product quality is expected to gradually be accepted and recognized by the market.

Supply and demand situation of other artificial boards and materials
Other wood-based panels and materials mainly refer to the wood-based panels other than plywood, fiberboard and particle board circulating in the market, such as blockboard, finger joint integrated board, honeycomb board, etc. Among them, due to the fact that blockboard can meet consumers’ demand for solid wood boards to a certain extent, it has gradually occupied more than half of other artificial boards and materials.
From 2013 to 2021, the production of other artificial boards and materials showed an overall fluctuating trend
The production and sales of plywood and particle board increased steadily
