Russian wood-based panels consumption raised to historic records of 12.9 million m3 (12% year-on-year increase) during 2018. The\u00a0consumption growth was influenced by\u00a0an increase in the share of particleboard and OSB.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

According to What Wood reports, the\u00a0rise in the consumption of wood-based panels in the domestic market can be partially explained by the positive trends in the furniture industry. In 2018, the furniture production in Russia grew by 6% in value terms, and amounted to $2,89 million, or by 2.7% if adjusted for inflation.<\/p>\n

Moreover,\u00a0the estimates of the Association of Furniture and Woodworking Enterprises of Russia for the growth of the furniture market in 2018 are even more optimistic: +30% year-on-year, amounting to $7,31 million. The growth was affected by an increase in the number of mortgage loans granted\u00a0and a low interest rate, low consumer prices due to slight inflation expecting the VAT rate increase, growing customer demand for furnished housing, and the prohibition on public procurement of furniture produced outside the Customs Union of the EAEU.<\/p>\n

Yet, the wood construction industry is on decline for the 3rd year in a row, by an average\u00a0of 3.5 million m2 per year.\u00a0By the end of 2018, the new housing supply totaled\u00a075.3 million m2 (-4.1% year-on-year).<\/p>\n

The housing per capita figure is growing, but its level is still lower than in developed countries. The low housing per capita index in Russia provides an opportunity for further growth in the construction industry. In Q1 2019, the volume of housing commissioning decreased: -5.6% totaling 14.8 million m2. The decrease was noticed in the North-West (-37.4%), Siberian (18.6%) and Ural (13.8%) Federal Districts, the others are showing a steady growth. The maximum increase in housing construction was recorded in the Far East (+27%) and Central (by 8.4%) Federal Districts, What Wood reported.<\/p>\n

Plywood market 2018-2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2018, the plywood industry was again in the focus of the Russian forest sector attention.<\/p>\n

\u201cRumors about the introduction of export quotas by the Russian Government for the birch veneering wood, which is essential for the country\u2019s domestic market<\/em>,\u201d have been going round for the past two years. Finally, in July 2018 Russian, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree according to which 908 exporters received the quota of 567 thousand m3 for the period from January to June 2019.<\/p>\n

Birch plywood is a niche and narrow product on a global scale. Global consumption of birch plywood is consumed annually 5-6 million m3 or about 3-5% of the total world production. Russia is the world leader in the production of birch plywood, which is primarily explained by the raw materials dominance of Russia, where the regions of extensive birch growing are located. Russia occupies 64% of the global market for birch plywood.<\/p>\n

From the 3rd quarter In 2018, there was a negative trend in the plywood sales markets, which began as a result of the excess of demand over supply and the strength of the global trend of lower prices for forest products. The study outlines the factors that influenced the decline in prices, and the search for \u201cgrowth points\u201d in difficult economic conditions.<\/p>\n

MDF\/HDF market in 2018-2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to What Wood, in 2018 the dynamics of the global economy weakened against the background of the marked slowdown in growth in both developed and emerging market economies and in developing countries. The loss of dynamism was particularly noticeable in the manufacturing industry amid signs of a slowdown in global investment and trade. The furniture sector, flooring continues to be under pressure, especially in Russia due to the weakening consumer demand.<\/p>\n

In April 2019, Pavlovsky DOK LLC was launched. Altailes began plant construction at the end of 2016. The volume of investments amounted\u00a0 6 billion RUB. The plant will produce MDF\/HDF with a thickness of 2.5 to 40 mm in a volume up to 250 thousand m3\/y. The production of laminated MDF \/ HDF is considered as the second stage. Probably the company will cover the panels demand in the regions of Siberia, some of the products will be sold to China, the CIS.<\/p>\n

OSB market in 2018-2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

In fact, the Russian OSB market in 2018-early 2019 even turned out to be more eventful than expected, and became significant for the development of the Russian panel industry: Kronospan OSB (Bashkortostan, Ufa) completed the project of OSB plant, and the company Talion Arbor (STOD) reached the design production volume and filled to capacity of 100%. Two large-scale projects with a capacity of more than 1.1 million m3 of OSB per year were announced.<\/p>\n

Particleboard market in 2018-2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Particleboard production in 2018 reached the record volume +15% compared to last year. Such increase was ensured by Kronospan Bashkortostan, Swiss Krono, Tomlesdrev. Capacity utilization in 2018 was 84% (in 2017, 76%). In the case of the implementation of all announced investment projects domestic capacity may increase by 1.3 million m3.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
