Global Engineered Wood Market: Snapshot

The engineered wood market is witnessing great strides on the back of advancing science of composites—wood composite technology. Industry players are focusing on improving the profile of engineered wood and make it at least as good as solid natural wood, if not better. The compelling propositions on which business players in the engineered wood market pivot their hopes on are their lower cost and quality. The applications have been thus been on the path of rapid expansion, especially for house floorings and furniture. Strides made in the building and construction industry have been reinforcing the demands for new construction materials especially for residential applications. The easy care and maintenance of engineered woods make them lucrative for the making of kitchen cabinet, for instance. Advances being made in engineering methods for hardwood are expanding the options for end users in terms of surface finish, durability, and style ranges. The ease of installation is a key aspect bolstering their use in variety of home furnishings.

The market for engineered wood is relatively new and there are relatively few array of products with desired mechanical and chemical properties. However over the past few years, advances made in bio-fiber composite technologies have expanded the type of bio-fiber feedstocks used for making engineered wood of attractive properties. The search for novel engineered biocomposites is opening new doors to promising revenue streams for market players. A key part of such pursuits is advancing the troika of performance, durability, and service life. Numerous new trends have been shaping the contours of the engineered wood market. Oil-borne preservative systems have been gathering steam among manufacturers due to their environmental friendliness. Constant focus on performance enhancement is expanding the potential of the engineered wood market.

Rise in Demand for Sustainable Building Products

• Rise in number of environmental regulations regarding the emission of carbon dioxide is fuelling the demand for engineered wood. In developed regions such as North America and Europe, emissions from buildings and their proportion of total emissions have been steadily increasing over the last few years. Several manufacturers have started developing sustainable products with high energy-efficiency owing to the implementation of environmental regulations in the building & construction sector in North America and Europe.
• Increase in number of technological research and development programs related to sustainable building & construction, especially in developed countries, is anticipated to propel the consumption of engineered wood during the forecast period
• The Energy Performance of Building Directive of the European Union mandates the member states to develop plans for low- or zero-carbon buildings. In the U.K., as per the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations in 2008, all new buildings are required to have an Energy Performance Certificate or Display Energy Certificate.
• Demand for sustainable building products has been rising in developing countries as well. The UN Environment works with countries in Asia Pacific to pursue sustainable growth that catalyzes the efficient use of the region’s natural assets, reduces environmental degradation, and offers social and economic benefits to the people of the region
