Medium Density Fiberboard Market Size

Medium Density Fiberboard Market size valued at USD 47 billion in 2022 and is slated to grow at around 6.5% CAGR through 2032 propelled by the growing preference for modular furniture.
 

Modular furniture design is known for its high level of functionality as it offers several storage modules which has raised the need for cost-effective materials such as MDF panels. Additionally, increasing investments and expansion efforts by MDF manufacturers will aid medium density fiberboard market development.
 

Medium-density fiberboard is an engineered wood product created by breaking down residuals or hardwood into wood fibers and mixing it with wax and a resin binder and shaping it into panels under high temperature and pressure. MDF is generally utilized for interior applications because of its weak moisture resistance. It is available in raw form, with a highly sanded surface, or with a decorative overlay, which contributes to its growing demand for furniture manufacturing applications.
