APAC Medium-Density Fiberboard Market Analysis

The Asia-Pacific medium-density fiberboard market (MDF) is expected to register a CAGR of over 4% during the forecast period.

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak in the first half of 2020, the major end-user segments, such as residential, commercial, and institutional, were significantly affected because their operation shut down. It, in turn, has unfavorably impacted the consumption of the MDF in the Asia-Pacific. In mid-2020, most medium-density fibreboard manufacturers were slowly returning to the growth path. Rising awareness and acceptance of MDF as a wood panel product will likely lead to industry growth.

  • Increasing MDF demand for furniture and easy availability of raw materials are expected to drive the medium-density fiberboard market's growth in Asia-Pacific.
  • Growing prominence in producing specialty medium-density fiberboard will likely be an opportunity.
  • Several government regulations are expected to hamper the market growth during the forecast period.
  • China dominated the industry growth and continued its dominance during the forecast period.
