Earlier Report Observations

The Polish particle board market displayed considerable volatility in volume between 2018 and 2024. Following a gradual decline to 5.3 million m³ in 2020, consumption jumped sharply by 28% in 2021 to a peak of 6.8 million m³. This surge was followed by a steep contraction in 2022 and near-stable volumes in 2023. In value terms, the market mirrored this pattern, reaching a high of $1.4 billion in 2021 before receding.

The market's volume declined by 6% to 4.6 million m³ in 2024, with its value falling to $1.2 billion. This downturn was primarily driven by rising board prices, a consequence of constrained wood raw material availability and significant fluctuations in the costs of energy and chemical inputs like adhesives, which elevated production expenses and subdued domestic demand.
