The global plywood market was valued at USD 65.59 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 103.35 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 6.7% (Coherent Market Insights, 2025). Several factors fuel this expansion:
Infrastructure Investments: Governments worldwide are prioritizing infrastructure, with projects like India’s road expansion and China’s USD 13 trillion construction investments by 2030 driving plywood demand for formwork and structural applications.
Sustainable Construction: The rise of green building practices, supported by 149 countries’ net-zero commitments, boosts demand for eco-friendly materials. Plywood, especially FSC-certified, is a preferred choice.
Customized Solutions: Specialized plywood, such as fire-resistant or waterproof variants, is gaining popularity in construction and furniture. E-commerce platforms are also expanding market reach.
Urbanization: Rapid urban growth in Asia-Pacific and Africa increases plywood use in residential and commercial projects, from metro stations to housing.
Challenges like volatile raw material costs and stringent regulations, such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), require manufacturers to innovate. Vietnam, with its sustainable forestry and robust supply chains, is well-positioned to address these demands. Learn more about EUDR compliance.

Cost Efficiency: A skilled workforce and optimized production processes allow Vietnam to offer high-quality plywood at competitive prices, rivaling China and Eastern Europe.
Trade Agreements: Free trade agreements, such as the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA), eliminate tariffs on 83% of wood products, enhancing export competitiveness to markets like the EU and USA.
