Global medium density Fiberboard market was valued at US$ 41.8 Bn in 2023, and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.6%, over the forecast period (2023-2030) to reach US$ 61.1 Bn by 2030. Medium density fiberboard (MEDIUM DENSITY FIBERBOARD) is commercially known as medium density fiberboard panels or medium density fiberboard products. MEDIUM DENSITY FIBERBOARD is an engineered wood. It is made by compressing uniformly sized wood particles at high temperature. The particulates are then bound together by resin and wax. It is used in all applications related to plywood, including plywood flooring, plywood furniture, plywood cabinets, plywood speaker boxes, plywood temporary construction, and other applications.
Global Medium Density Fiberboard Market - Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
Due to lockdown, the production of MEDIUM DENSITY FIBERBOARD came to a standstill during the pandemic. Initially, the economic slowdown led to a decrease in the spending of residential and commercial users on various applications of MEDIUM DENSITY FIBERBOARD. However, with the introduction of different vaccines, the pandemic has significantly decreased in severity. By mid-2022, the number of cases has significantly decreased. This has allowed MEDIUM DENSITY FIBERBOARD manufacturing companies to resume production at full capacity. Moreover, it has been over two years since the start of the pandemic and many companies have started to show signs of recovery. The Medium Density Fiberboard market is expected to be positively impacted by rising living standards and increasing spending on home remodeling, particularly in high income countries.

*Definition: MEDIUM DENSITY FIBERBOARD is made from a special type of wood, and many companies use it to make their furniture. Low-density Fiberboard is a popular choice for prefabricated furniture and big-box stores. MEDIUM DENSITY FIBERBOARD is similar to particleboard, but they have some major differences in process. They are both used to make furniture and cabinets. The process used to make both products differ slightly, and the difference can be found in the way fiber is prepared and dried. They differ primarily in their pressing and post pressing operations. The fiber that goes into MEDIUM DENSITY FIBERBOARD is derived from shavings or chips, and it consists of individual wood cells.
