Moreover, various development strategies are adopted by the medium density fiberboard (MDF) manufacturers to sustain harsh competition in the market. For instance, in September 2020, EGGER Group, expanded its presence in the Lexington, N.C., U.S., for raw particleboard manufacturing and particleboard lamination. This expansion helped the company to enhance its presence in North Carolina, U.S.
By Product Type
Fire-Resistant MDF segment is projected to grow at a highest CAGR
On the basis of product type, the standard MDF segment generated highest revenue in 2021, owing to its wide applications and easy availability. Standard MDF is vastly available in the market, as it is used in many kinds of application such as furniture, cabinets, doors and windows, and others, except the applications and places with possibility of moisture and fire.
The novel coronavirus rapidly spread across various countries and regions, causing an enormous impact on the lives of people and the overall community. It began as a human health condition and later became a significant threat to global trade, economy, and finance. The COVID-19 pandemic halted the production of medium density fiberboard (MDF) due to lockdown. The economic slowdown initially resulted in reduced spending on various applications of medium density fiberboard (MDF) by residential and commercial users. However, owing to the introduction of various vaccines, the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly reduced. As of mid-2022, the number of COVID-19 cases has diminished significantly. This has led to the reopening of medium density fiberboard (MDF) manufacturing companies at their full-scale capacities. Furthermore, it has been more than two years since the outbreak of this pandemic, and many companies have already shown notable signs of recovery.
Furthermore, rising standards of living and increasing spendings on home remodeling projects, especially in high income countries are also anticipated to positively influence the medium density fiberboard (MDF) market during the forecast period.
