The Sweden wood based panel market is anticipated to register a CAGR of 7.05% during the forecasted period. Some of the main drivers of the nation's market expansion are a surge in household and furniture renovation expenditure for wood based panels and the adoption of eco-friendly building techniques. While the base year considered for the studied market is 2023, the forecast years are between 2024 and 2030.
The country with enormous woods, Sweden, is well-represented in the market for wood based panels. Sweden has a robust wood based panel business, which is not surprising given that the country is home to forests covering about 70% of its land, according to the Swedish Federation of Wood and Furniture Industry. The Swedish construction and engineering industry has become a powerhouse with an impressive annual turnover of approximately $73 billion. The real estate stock in Sweden is valued at $660 billion, excluding the worth of crucial infrastructure such as roads, bridges, railways, harbors, and airports, as per the International Trade Administration.
Sweden produced 651,400 cubic meters of wood-based panels, including plywood and particle board. Due to the small number of companies, official production numbers are unknown. However, there was a significant import of particle board and plywood, exceeding 206,000 and 627,000 cubic meters, respectively. This indicates that there is a significant market for wood-based panels in Sweden, where the thriving real estate and construction sectors are probably using some of these products. Therefore, such factors are expected to fuel the growth of the Sweden wood based panel market growth during the forecast period.
Leading players operating in the market include: Moelven Industrier ASA, Smith & Fong Limited, Kronospan Limited, etc.
