The particle board market is expected to increase significantly during the review period, with a CAGR of 4.78%. The market was estimated to be USD 4,412.07 million in 2023 and is expected to reach a value of USD 6,690.01 million by the end of the forecast period (2024-2032).
The rise of the US particle board market is primarily driven by rising demand for ecologically friendly and competitively priced building materials in the construction and furnishings sectors. The increased use of particle board has contributed to an increase in residential and commercial construction activity following the housing boom, notably in interior applications such as flooring, paneling, and cabinetry. Certainly, the market size is expanding due to the preference for affordable and environmentally favorable materials, such as particle boards, which are made from recycled wood waste, sawdust, and wood chips. Furthermore, growing awareness of deforestation has prompted manufacturers to implement ecologically friendly techniques, boosting demand.
The second primary factor is the advancement of technology in the manufacturing of particle boards. The product is more resistant to moisture, firmer, and harder. These attributes render the product significantly more appealing to consumers in the United States who are in search of reliable yet somewhat less expensive alternatives to solid timbers or plywood. An additional contributing factor may be the increasing DIY home improvement trend that the COVID-19 shutdown has influenced. Consumers are now able to effortlessly employ particle boards in a variety of applications. Additionally, manufacturers have been encouraged to adopt safer and low-emitting particle boards because of the U.S. government's stricter regulations on formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products.
