Earlier Report Observations

The particle board of wood market in Ethiopia saw stable domestic production of 22 000 m³ per year from 2018 to 2023. Market volume, however, fluctuated with import levels, peaking at 26 319 m³ in 2019—a 10% increase from 2018—due to a surge in imports that year.

After 2019, import volumes gradually declined, pulling the overall market size down to a range of 24 000–24 500 m³ between 2020 and 2023. By 2024, imports had fallen sharply to 727 m³, reflecting a continued reduction in foreign supply.
