Earlier Report Observations

The particle board market in the Netherlands expanded significantly from USD 159.3 million in 2018 to a peak of USD 272.9 million in 2022. This growth aligned with global trends of increasing construction activity and rising environmental consciousness, which boosted demand for wood-based panel products.

After 2022, the market contracted, falling to USD 195.2 million in 2024. Domestic production also dropped sharply in 2024 to USD 17.7 million, contributing to the overall market decline.

Imports, which constitute the largest share of the market, surged in 2021 to USD 267.4 million, driving the market size upward, but later decreased to USD 200.3 million in 2024. Exports showed volatility, peaking in 2021 at USD 50.3 million before declining.
