North American plywood market set to grow $6.55 billion by 2033

DUBLIN — The "North America Plywood Market Share Analysis and Size - Growth Trends and Forecast Report 2025-2033" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The North America Plywood Market is expected to reach $23.37 billion by 2033 from $16.82 billion in 2024, with a CAGR of 3.72% from 2025 to 2033. Government spending, technological advancements, and eco-friendly practices are the primary drivers of the market. 

Plywood comes from renewable resources, reducing the carbon footprint of construction projects. The demand for green products is being fueled by a slight increase focus on green building certifications and mandates.

The growing demand for green building materials and production innovations that enhance material quality and efficiency are also contributing to the market share. Government support for infrastructure and building projects is also enhancing the application of plywood, which enhances regional market growth.

Use of plywood is additionally encouraged by regulation and incentives favoring green and energy-efficient building practices. By adopting ethical purchasing practices, the forestry industry ensures that production of plywood does not lead to logging. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and similar programs are helping guarantee that plywood originates from well-managed forests.

Plywood usage is also growing due to intensified home building driven by swift urbanization and population growth. Expenditure on building construction grew 2.7% in November 2024 over 2023, as per numbers released by the Government of Canada. Due to its durability, resistance, and flexibility for utilization within walls, roofs, and flooring, plywood is the most desirable among North American builders. The demand for quality plywood products is also being fueled by a rise in house remodeling and renovation work. Plywood demand is increasing due to government initiatives promoting low-cost home projects.

One major issue facing the North American plywood market is the fluctuating cost of raw materials. The cost of making plywood is directly impacted by changes in trade regulations, pest infestations, wildfires, and climate change, which all affect the price of timber. Price volatility brought on by disruptions in the supply of timber from important regions like the U.S. and Canada makes it challenging for manufacturers to make successful plans. Profit margins, long-term contracts, and project budgeting are all impacted by this volatility, which also creates uncertainty in the construction and supply chain sectors.

The North American plywood market faces substantial challenges from supply chain interruptions and trade barriers. Import taxes imposed by the United States on plywood, especially from China and Canada, have increased the cost of materials and damaged ties with important suppliers. Compliance burdens have also increased as a result of scrutiny surrounding imports from nations like Vietnam. These trade restrictions have made it harder for manufacturers and builders to keep steady operations because of uneven supply, longer lead times, and higher pricing volatility brought on by pandemic-related and geopolitical supply chain interruptions.
