Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 2.1 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.10% during 2025-2033. The market share is driven by the growing construction and infrastructure projects, rising demand for sustainable materials, and the growing traction of plywood in furniture and interior design.

Australia Plywood Market Trends:

Construction and Infrastructure Growth

Development of construction and infrastructure is among the key drivers of the Australia plywood market. With Australia continuing to experience population growth and urbanization, demand for residential, commercial, and industrial infrastructure is increasing at a very rapid rate. Large-scale projects like commercial complexes, residential buildings, and public infrastructure like roads and bridges require cost-effective, durable, and versatile materials, and plywood just makes the cut. The ratio of strength to weight of plywood renders it a viable material for structural applications, flooring, roofing, and wall systems in building construction. Plywood is particularly valued for its ability to provide durability with design flexibility, rendering it a popular choice in numerous applications in building construction. Growing construction activity, both public and private investment, drives the consistent demand for plywood. In fact, the worth of construction activity performed in Australia increased by 0.5%, to $73,936.9 million, as the industry continued to expand. Furthermore, the Australian government's focus on increasing housing supply, expanding transport networks, and enhancing public infrastructure is also increasing demand for building materials like plywood. The demand to meet these infrastructure requirements effectively and responsibly goes hand in hand with the increased application of plywood, which is seen as a green alternative compared to other traditional building materials. This increased building activity will be expected to lead the Australia plywood market growth.

Rise in Furniture and Interior Design

The expansion in furniture and interior designing businesses is positively influencing the Australia plywood market outlook. As people's tastes and preferences change, there is increasing demand for eco-friendly, pleasing, and durable products to be used in furniture and interior designing. As it is moldable into diverse shapes and finishing styles, the plywood is picking up popularity across various sectors. It has a perfect blend of strength and lightness, so it is a favorite material used in furniture making, from shelves and cabinets to tables and chairs. Plywood is also gaining popularity in interior design due to its natural charm and adaptability in conforming to modern and minimalist trends. Its smooth finish and customizability are also a top choice for creating one-of-a-kind, trendy interiors. The move towards green alternatives is also propelling demand for plywood, as it is viewed as a renewable material compared to something like MDF or particle board. In addition, higher-than-average home improvement and remodeling activity within Australia is also driving plywood market growth. Homeowners and interior designers alike are increasingly looking to plywood due to its affordability and green credentials, as well as its ability to produce a high-end finish at a price that is difficult to match. Based on information provided by the IMARC Group, the Australian furniture market is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% during 2025-2033, again reflecting the greater utilization of plywood in the market.
