In 2024, China's export volume of plywood products hit a record high, reaching 13.15 million cubic meters, marking a year-on-year increase of 22.80% and setting a new decade-high for exports of such products. However, the export value grew by only 9.45%.

In 2024, exports of ordinary plywood rose by 21.3%, while the unit price fell by 11.83%. The decline in product prices reflects intensifying market competition and significant cost pressures faced by enterprises. Meanwhile, exports of blockboard and laminated veneer lumber (LVL) saw substantial growth, suggesting a surge in demand from emerging markets, particularly with LVL exports surging by 164%. In contrast, bamboo plywood exports declined in volume but increased in price.
