Abundance of timber
The abundance of timber in Indonesia is fueling the market growth. Indonesia has a significant natural advantage in the production of plywood due to its extensive forest reserves that are abundant in tropical hardwoods and softwoods. Manufacturers are able to meet both domestic and international demand by producing a wide range of plywood kinds, including maritime, commercial, and ornamental grades, owing to the easy availability of timber. Because wood is readily available locally, production costs are lowered, making Indonesian plywood extremely competitive in international markets. Additionally, it facilitates uninterrupted production and aids in effectively fulfilling high-volume export orders. Since many plywood manufacturers are situated close to forested regions, supply chain speed is increased and transportation costs are minimized. Furthermore, the vast range of wood species enables innovations and the creation of specialty plywood products. The large quantity of timber also encourages international investments in wood processing facilities. With efficient forestry management practices and increasing adoption of legal and sustainable harvesting, Indonesia balances economic benefit with environmental responsibility. Moreover, as the country continues to export forestry products, the plywood market will grow steadily. As per the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry, the export value of products from the forestry sector in 2024 was USD 11.896 Billion.
Growing marine and shipping needs
Rising marine and shipping needs are impelling the Indonesia plywood market growth. As an archipelagic country with thousands of islands, Indonesia depends heavily on marine transport for goods and people, creating the need for plywood in shipbuilding, boat interiors, and port infrastructure. Marine-grade plywood is widely used in vessel flooring, walls, furniture, and compartments due to its resistance to moisture, salt, and wear. Local boat builders, ferry operators, and cargo ship manufacturers rely on high-quality plywood for its performance and reliability in harsh marine environments. Additionally, ports and coastal infrastructure projects employ plywood for formwork and temporary structures. As the marine and shipbuilding industry continue to expand, plywood remains a key material. As per industry reports, in 2028, the Indonesia shipbuilding sector is projected to reach a volume of 52,300 gross Tonnage, representing a 16.8% rise compared to 2023. This consistent demand from the marine and shipping industry is contributing significantly to the growth and stability of the market.
Increasing logistics activities
As the movement of goods is growing across Indonesia’s islands and to international markets, logistics companies continue to rely on plywood for pallets, crates, containers, and protective transport structures. Plywood’s durability and light weight make it ideal for handling heavy and fragile items during shipping. Warehouses and distribution centers also use plywood for shelving, flooring, and partitioning. With the rise of e-commerce and regional trade, the demand for efficient and secure packaging solutions continues to grow, further boosting plywood utilization. As per the IMARC Group, the Indonesia e-commerce market size was valued at USD 354.6 Billion in 2024. In addition, plywood’s availability and affordability in Indonesia make it a preferred material in logistics operations. As supply chains are modernizing, plywood remains essential, supporting the steady growth of the market.
