Earlier Report Observations

The particle board market in Australia and New Zealand saw fluctuating consumption volumes from 2018 to 2023. After starting at 1.14 million m³ in 2018, the market size declined to 1.09 million m³ in 2019 and edged slightly lower to 1.08 million m³ in 2020. A rebound occurred in 2021, with consumption rising to 1.12 million m³.

The market contracted again to 1.09 million m³ in 2022, a movement linked to global supply chain disruptions which hampered raw material procurement and production. A strong recovery followed in 2023, pushing the market to 1.16 million m³. This growth was fueled by sustained demand from the construction and furniture industries, coupled with stabilizing supply chains.
