Global wood panels surfacing market: re-positioning for growth

The decoration of wood based panels with a variety of surfacing materials is a key value adding step in the value chain. As the global demand for wood based panels grows, mainly at the expense of solid wood and veneer based products, surfacing materials benefit.

Over 70% of surfaced wood based panels are used for furniture, while the remaining 30% are construction related products, including flooring and doors. Many consumers prefer lightweight, ready-to-assemble and low maintenance furniture at affordable prices and the analysed surfacing materials for wood-based panels meet these requirements much better than materials for traditional furniture.
