MARKET GROWTH FACTORS

The Germany plywood market is also driven by the increase in investments and new constructions in the country. Both private and public agencies are investing in residential buildings, commercial buildings, and infrastructure. Plywood is used in flooring, roofing, and wall sheathing, and in partitions and formwork. Demand for plywood products has also been driven by Germany's drive towards energy efficiency and sustainability. Modular construction and prefabricated buildings also increase demand for plywood, which offers flexibility and ease of processing. With the construction industry expected to grow 2.6% to EUR 241.35 Billion in 2024, this strengthens growth for plywood.

Retail growth also drives demand. An increasing number of retail outlets, supermarkets, malls and showrooms use plywood for shelves, display units, counters, flooring and wall paneling. Plywood's low cost, low weight, and ease of use has made it ideal for quick construction and minimalist design. In retail, it is popular with chains, partially related to the fast growth of e-commerce retailers opening physical stores. In 2024, the German e-commerce market was sized at USD 1203 billion, reflecting the growth of the retail sector.

Plywood also meets the increased demand for higher volume transport applications. Plywood is a key component in floor, wall paneling and woodwork products used in trucks, trailers, buses, and railway cars due to its mechanical strength and resistance to wear. The German automotive and transport industries make the country a major consumer of plywood. Used in all types of vehicle bodies and cargo boxes, and palletizing, packaging and rack systems of logistics companies, plywood has a proven record of reliability and cost-effectiveness. Further demand for plywood is buoyed by light weight and strength for vehicle design, including a 43% market growth in electric vehicles (EVs) to 158,000 between January and March 2025.
