Global Particle Board Market

Particle board, also known as low-density fibreboard (LDF), refers to an engineered wood which is produced using a mixture of sawmill shavings, wood chips, sawdust, and a synthetic resin. These raw materials are then pressed together and extruded in order to form a sheet of particle board. Particle board finds vast applications as a building material in several global building projects. Additionally, a variety of particle boards is available in the market based on their sizes, density, geometry of particle and amount of adhesive used. A new research report titled “Particle Board Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2019-2024” by IMARC Group estimates that the global particle board market  was worth US$ 19.3 Billion in 2018. The report further anticipates the market to reach US$ 25 Billion by 2024, at a projected CAGR of 4.2% over the forecast period.

Global Particle Board Market Drivers/Constraints:

• Particle board is considered as one of the significant construction materials as it is dense, affordable, uniform, light-weight, easy to install and environment-friendly in nature. This represents one of the primary factors which is facilitating the growth of the global particle board market.
• Particle board is widely used in recording studios and concert venues on account of its remarkable sound-absorbing properties. Moreover, it is also used in preparing household furniture like doors, windows, bookcases, cupboards, kitchen cabinets and modular partition systems.
• Particle board is considered as one of the lightest fibre-board type owing to which it is extensively used for enhancing the aesthetic appeal of an institution by painting and laminating it.
• However, particle board retains moisture and once the moisture penetrates, it is bound to weaken, lose its characteristic strength and darken its colour. Therefore, unless it is treated with a sealing agent, particle board can not be used for outdoor purposes.
