The global medium-density fiberboard (MDF) market has witnessed a healthy growth over the past few years. This can be accredited to the increasing use of medium-density fibreboard in the construction industry as it is a cost-effective and environment-friendly.

Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) is a wood product made by mixing wood fibres with adhesives to form flat panels. It offers superior quality as compared to solid wood or the other compressed manufactured wood products such as plywood. Owing to this, it is used in a wide variety of residential and commercial projects, such as flooring, toys, furniture, ceiling moulding, cabinetry, industrial packaging, etc. A new research report by IMARC Group, titled “Medium-Density Fiberboard Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2019-2024”, estimates that the global medium-density fiberboard market reached a value of US$ 23.2 Billion in 2018, registering a CAGR of 7.8% during the year 2011-2018. The report further anticipates the market to reach a value of US$ 37.7 Billion by 2024.

Global Medium-Density Fiberboard Market Drivers/Constraints:

Medium-density fiberboard is manufactured from recycled wood which helps in saving trees and protecting the environment. The increasing environmental concerns among the consumers are fuelling the demand for medium-density fiberboard.
Medium-density fibreboard does not expand or contract due to heat and humidity as opposed to solid wood. As a result, it is extensively used in kitchens and bathrooms in high humid and tropical regions. This, in turn, has bolstered the sales of medium-density fiberboard in these regions.
Due to the growing population, rapid urbanisation, and rising disposable incomes of the consumers, there has been an increase in the number of commercial and residential spaces. This is projected to create a positive impact on the medium-density fiberboard market.
The strict rules and regulations set up by the government regarding the use and manufacturing of medium-density fiberboard restricts the market growth. Moreover, the high-maintenance costs, lower strength compared to solid wood and water soaking issues are some of the other factors restraining the overall growth of the market.
