Description

This report forecasts to 2030 US wood panel demand in square feet as measured on a 3/8-inch basis. Total demand is segmented by product in terms of oriented strand board (OSB), softwood plywood, particleboard, medium density fiberboard (MDF), other boards such as hardwood plywood, hardboard, insulation board, and low density fiberboard (softboard)

Total demand is also segmented by application as follows roofing, flooring, other construction applications, such as wall sheathing, cabinets, siding, doors and windows, and interior paneling

furniture and fixtures, other industrial applications such as engineered wood products, material handling products, and transportation equipment

To illustrate historical trends, total demand and the various segments are provided in annual series from 2019 to 2025.

Data in [JL18.1][MS18.2]square feet are actually volumetric measurements since the various types of wood panels are each associated with a standard thickness. These standard thicknesses (as most commonly accepted within the industry) are 1/8 inch – hardboard, 3/8 inch for OSB and softwood plywood, 1/2 inch for insulation board and low density fiberboard, 3/4 inch for particleboard, hardwood plywood, and MDF

In order to improve the comparability of wood panel demand in volume terms across different board types, data are provided in a 3/8-inch basis. Unless another thickness is specified, square feet measurements are on a 3/8-inch basis.

Wood panels used as a component of other wood panel products, such as particleboard used to make plywood, are counted separately and considered to be engineered wood for the purposes of this report. Although this results in some double counting of wood panel demand, this treatment is in line with measures used within the industry.

Key macroeconomic indicators are also provided with quantified trends. Other various topics, including profiles of pertinent leading companies, are covered in this report. A full outline of report items by page is available in the Table of Contents.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
