Emerging Markets MDF and Particleboard Industry
Aginsky Consulting Group, Oct 2007
The first part of this research proposal will address the market trends and developments of three crucial markets for particleboard and MDF products: North America, Europe, and China.
The U.S. market for particleboard and MDF is decreasing. High production costs and decreased lumber production have limited the availability of wood fiber and resin. These cost pressures have slowed the drop in prices, but have put further downward pressure on margins.
U.S. particleboard demand totaled an estimated 4.94 BSF in 2006, less than 1% below 2005, largely as a result of weaker consumption in industrial markets. Consumption in construction markets started to retreat as housing starts have fallen.
