Key Topics in China’s Particleboard Industry 2025

In 2025, China’s 파티클보드 industry stands at a crucial juncture of structural upgrading and high-quality development. Driven by multiple factors such as the “dual carbon” strategy, the evolution of market demand, technological innovation, and increasingly stringent environmental and energy constraints, a series of core topics shaping the industry’s direction have emerged. These topics not only cover the restructuring of the underlying logic of industrial development but also involve the practical path choices for optimizing the industrial ecology, collectively depicting the overall development landscape of the industry during the transition period.

I. Environmental and Energy Constraints: Industrial Restructuring Amid Green Transition
The development orientation of China’s particleboard industry in 2025 focuses on green low-carbon development and quality improvement. The continuous tightening of environmental and energy-related constraints is accelerating industrial restructuring. A hierarchical energy consumption evaluation system is gradually taking shape in the industry. By setting differentiated energy consumption standards, it delineates energy efficiency thresholds for new production capacity, while forcing existing production capacity to carry out energy-saving renovations and accelerating the phasing out of backward production capacity. At the same time, requirements for environmental indicators such as formaldehyde emission and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are continuously raised, further compressing the living space of low-level production capacity and promoting the concentration of industry resources towards green and compliant production capacity. The in-depth application of the green and low-carbon concept has also driven the restructuring of the market supply structure. Environmentally friendly 파티클보드 continues to increase its penetration in public buildings, green residential spaces and other fields, becoming an important direction for industrial transformation.

II. Market Supply and Demand Pattern: The Dilemma of Balancing Capacity Expansion and Demand Transition
The imbalance between supply and demand has become one of the core contradictions in China’s particleboard industry in 2025. On the supply side, the newly added national particleboard production capacity reached 15.41 million cubic meters in 2024, a record high for annual commissioning. At the beginning of 2025, there are still 30 under-construction production lines with a total of 10.15 million cubic meters of production capacity to be released. The pressure of overcapacity is further intensifying, and price competition is becoming increasingly fierce. On the demand side, there is an obvious structural differentiation: the traditional downstream demand from the real estate sector remains sluggish due to the decline in new housing starts, while the demand in emerging fields such as green buildings, prefabricated decoration, and custom furniture is growing steadily, becoming a key driver of industry growth. Against this background, how to develop new application scenarios, optimize regional market layout, and ease domestic overcapacity pressure through exports have become core issues for the industry. In particular, the rising infrastructure and furniture demand in countries along the “Belt and Road” has provided new opportunities for 파티클보드 exports, and the layout of the export market has become an important direction for differentiated competition.

III. Industrial Ecology Restructuring: Forest-Board Integration Layout and Rising Industry Concentration
The concentration of China’s particleboard industry will continue to rise in 2025, and the industrial ecology will be acceleratedly restructured. Forest-board integration has become an important path to build industrial competitive barriers. By integrating upstream and downstream resources such as forest farms, board production, and auxiliary material processing, the full-chain control from raw materials to products is achieved, which not only ensures the stability of raw material supply but also reduces production costs through the synergy of the entire industrial chain, while improving carbon emission reduction capacity. This integrated layout promotes the steady rise of industry concentration, and the market influence of leading production capacity continues to enhance. In addition, the trend of industrial clustering is obvious. Some regions focus on the 파티클보드 industry to build forestry industry clusters. Through industrial chain extension and collaborative innovation, the overall vitality of the industry is activated, and the high-quality development of the regional industry is promoted, becoming an important exploration direction for local industrial upgrading.

IV. Green Development Path: Full-Industrial-Chain Low-Carbon Transition Under the Dual Carbon Goal

The in-depth advancement of the “dual carbon” goal has made green development the core background of China’s 파티클보드 industry in 2025, and the full-industrial-chain low-carbon transition has become an industry consensus. From energy conservation and consumption reduction on the production side, to recycling of raw materials on the raw material side, and then to environmental protection upgrading on the product side, the low-carbon concept runs through the entire industrial process. The industry reduces unit product energy consumption through technological transformation, improves carbon sink capacity through forest-board integration layout, and reduces environmental impact through the R&D of environmentally friendly products, fulfilling the requirements of green development in multiple dimensions. At the same time, the industry’s attention to carbon footprint accounting and green supply chain construction continues to increase, and the effectiveness of green transition has become an important part of industrial core competitiveness. How to combine low-carbon transition with the improvement of industrial economic benefits to achieve a win-win situation of ecological and economic benefits has become a core proposition that needs continuous exploration for industrial development.
