The wood-based panel industry is an important industry that utilizes wood or other plant fiber resources efficiently, alleviates the contradiction between supply and demand of wood, and is also the pillar industry of the world forestry industry. In recent years, due to changes in the economies, technologies, resources and markets of the world, the global wood-based panel industry has also undergone corresponding changes.

    Affected by the wood industry processing technology and the wood-based panel consumer market, the global production and consumption of wood-based panels is mainly concentrated in Europe, Asia and North America, with Africa and Oceania accounting for a small proportion. In recent years, due to the rapid rise of Asian economy and labor cost advantage, the output and export of wood-based panels in Asia have shown an increasing trend year by year. In the United States, the North American region is concentrated in the United States, followed by Canada. In countries such as Mexico and the United States, due to the high labor costs and the international transfer of the wood-based panel industry, the total amount of production in the Americas is decreasing, while the output value of European wood-based panels is relatively scattered and the proportion has been relatively stable.
