The marine plywood market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $23.84 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in marine infrastructure, rising demand for long-lasting construction materials, expansion of waterfront development, growing repair and refurbishment activities, increasing adoption in non-marine exterior uses. Major trends in the forecast period include growing demand for high-durability marine panels, rising use in dock and pier construction, expansion of ship repair and maintenance activities, increasing adoption in exterior construction, enhanced focus on moisture resistance.

The expanding construction industry is expected to drive the growth of the marine plywood market in the coming years. The construction sector includes a wide range of economic activities related to the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of buildings and infrastructure. Marine plywood is widely used in residential construction, particularly in areas exposed to high humidity and moisture, because of its strength and resistance to water-related damage. For example, in February 2025, according to the US Census Bureau, a US-based government statistical agency, construction spending in December 2024 was estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $2.19 trillion, representing a 4.3% increase compared with $2.1 trillion in December 2023. Therefore, the growth of the construction industry is contributing to the expansion of the marine plywood market.

Major companies operating in the marine plywood market are introducing new offerings such as sustainably sourced plywood to reach broader customer segments, increase sales, and boost revenue. Sustainably sourced plywood refers to products manufactured using environmentally responsible and ethical practices across the supply chain, from raw material harvesting to production. For instance, in October 2024, Supersede, a US-based building materials company, introduced a 1:1 marine-grade plywood replacement. The Supersede Marine Board is an engineered extruded sheet made from plastic waste that is designed to be scalable, modern, and cost-effective. It is fully recyclable, waterproof, rot-resistant, and does not splinter or crack. Initially developed for the boat manufacturing industry, Supersede plans to expand this solution to manufacturers of modular homes, recreational vehicles, and trailers.
