Panel Furniture Raw Material Market Report 2025

The panel furniture raw material market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $83.36 billion in 2024 to $88.78 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the rising demand for ready-to-assemble furniture, a growing preference for space-saving interior solutions, increased disposable income boosting furniture purchases, heightened renovation and remodeling activities, and expanding demand from the residential construction sector.

The panel furniture raw material market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $112.62 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth projected for the forecast period can be credited to a stronger emphasis on sustainable furniture materials, increasing demand for customized furniture solutions, the rise of smart home and interior design trends, the expansion of e-commerce furniture sales, and greater investment in residential infrastructure development. Key trends in the forecast period include advancements in eco-friendly raw materials, the development of moisture-resistant panels, innovations in lightweight engineered boards, progress in digital surface printing technology, and the creation of formaldehyde-free adhesives.

The rise in residential and commercial construction activities is expected to drive the growth of the panel furniture raw material market in the coming years. Residential and commercial construction activities involve the building, renovation, or maintenance of housing units (residential) and business-related buildings such as offices, retail spaces, and industrial facilities (commercial). This increase in construction is mainly fueled by rapid urbanization, which is boosting the demand for housing and infrastructure to accommodate expanding urban populations. Panel furniture raw materials play a key role in these construction activities by enabling the efficient manufacture of modular and space-saving furniture solutions that complement contemporary architectural designs and interior layouts. For example, in July 2024, the UK’s Office for National Statistics reported that total investment in the infrastructure sector reached $16 billion (£13.8 billion) in 2023, marking a 3.9% increase from 2022. Meanwhile, general government investment in infrastructure rose by 9.6% in 2022, totaling $30.2 billion (£26 billion) in current prices compared to the previous year. Thus, the growth in residential and commercial construction activities is contributing to the expansion of the panel furniture raw material market.

Leading companies in the panel furniture raw material market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as furniture finishes and door materials, to align with changing design trends, improve durability, and meet growing eco-friendly consumer preferences. Furniture finishes and door materials consist of engineered wood panels and surface coatings used to enhance the appearance, durability, and functionality of furniture surfaces and door panels. For instance, in September 2024, Dongwha Enterprise Co., a South Korean wood-based manufacturer, introduced an eco-friendly furniture finish material. This product is made from E0-grade boards that are environmentally friendly, designed to safeguard indoor air quality and reduce the effects of new house syndrome caused by harmful emissions.

The quick escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting strain in trade relations in spring 2025 are considerably influencing the Paper, Plastics, Rubber, Wood And Textile sector by inflating costs for imported pulp, resin, synthetic rubber, lumber, and cotton key inputs with limited domestic substitutes. Packaging manufacturers, for example, now pay more for plastic films and corrugated materials, squeezing margins in an already price-sensitive market. Textile producers face similar challenges, as tariffs on imported yarns and dyes compound pressures from rising labor costs. Some firms are shifting to recycled materials or biodegradable alternatives, while others consolidate suppliers to negotiate bulk discounts.

Panel furniture raw materials refer to the essential base substances used in manufacturing flat-packed or modular furniture parts. These materials are designed to fulfill specific criteria regarding strength, durability, weight, and aesthetics, and are usually processed into consistent sheets or panels suitable for mass production.

The primary types of panel furniture raw materials include particleboard, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), plywood, veneer sheets, laminates, and others. Particleboard is an engineered wood product created by compressing wood chips, sawdust, and resin under high pressure and heat. It is utilized in residential, commercial, and industrial applications and is distributed through various channels, including both online and offline.
