Particleboard production increasing worldwide

Global production of particleboard is forecast to increase from 69.9 million cubic metres in 2009 to 84.1 million cubic metres in 2013, based on current expansion plans and estimated capacity utilisation rates, according to leading economic forecaster and industry analyst, BIS Shrapnel.

BIS Shrapnel’s Particleboard in the Pacific Rim and Europe, 2009 – 2013 report found production of particleboard in Asia has been growing rapidly over the past decade, but greater Europe, including Russia and Turkey, remains the dominant particleboard producing region.
