Wood manufacturing is the process of converting raw wood materials into finished wood products through multiple production stages. This entails utilizing machinery, equipment, and skilled labor to transform wood logs, lumber, or other wood materials into a diverse range of wood products serving various purposes.
The primary categories of wood manufacturing include millwork, veneers, engineered wood products, wood containers and pallets, manufactured homes, and others. Millwork involves the manufacturing and installation of wooden products, typically utilized for finishing or decorative purposes in buildings. It finds application in domestic and commercial settings within industries such as construction, furniture, packaging, joinery, and others.

The wood manufacturing market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $465.31 billion in 2023 to $476.15 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.3%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be ascribed to the adoption of sustainable practices and certification, advancements in wood finishing techniques, the surge in urbanization and construction activities, government policies and regulations, and consumer preferences for wooden products.
The wood manufacturing market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $521.01 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.3%. The anticipated expansion in the forecast period can be credited to the adoption of circular economy practices, the growing trend of mass timber construction, the impact of e-commerce on wood furniture manufacturing, increased emphasis on energy efficiency in wood processing, and efforts towards resilience and adaptation to climate change. Key trends expected in this forecast period encompass the continuation of sustainable practices and certification, the integration of advanced manufacturing technologies, innovations in wood-based materials, the digitalization of supply chain management, the promotion of circular economy practices, and the expansion of the global market.
The anticipated surge in the demand for wooden furniture is poised to drive the growth of the wood manufacturing market in the future. Wooden furniture encompasses items primarily or entirely crafted from wood, available in diverse styles, designs, and finishes-ranging from traditional to modern, and rustic to contemporary. Wood manufacturing plays a pivotal role in crafting various types of wooden furniture, including indoor and outdoor pieces, lumber, timber of specific sizes, and others. For example, as of June 2022, the United States International Trade Commission (USITC), a US-based governing agency, reported that the US import of wooden furniture amounted to $2.3 billion, reflecting a 5.7% increase compared to June 2021. Year-on-year, US imports of wood furniture reached $13.7 billion in the initial six months of 2022, marking a 10.6% increase. Consequently, the escalating demand for wooden furniture stands as a driving force for the future growth of the wood manufacturing market.
The projected growth of the wood manufacturing market is also expected to be fueled by the increasing construction activities. Construction activities encompass a variety of operations and processes involved in building, renovating, and maintaining structures, infrastructure, and facilities. The wood manufacturing industry plays a pivotal role in the construction sector by supplying a diverse range of wood products crucial for building and infrastructure development. As of April 2023, reports from the United States Census Bureau, a US-based government agency, indicate that the overall value of residential and non-residential construction in the US experienced an over 8% increase between 2020 and 2021. This surge in construction activities is a significant contributor to the growth of the wood manufacturing market.
A notable trend gaining traction in the wood manufacturing market is product innovation, with companies actively pursuing the development of novel products to maintain their market standing. An illustrative example is Desktop Metal, Inc., a US-based 3D printing systems manufacturer, which, in May 2021, announced the introduction of Forust-a groundbreaking manufacturing process utilizing additive manufacturing to recycle waste wood, creating distinctive and luxurious wood designs. Forust produces wooden items with a digital grain that runs the length of the piece and can be polished or sanded. The software employed in this process can digitally replicate various wood grains, including those of ash, rosewood, and mahogany.
Major players in the wood manufacturing market are directing their efforts towards the implementation of advanced wood manufacturing business models, aiming to gain a competitive advantage. An advanced wood manufacturing business model involves a modern and innovative approach to wood manufacturing, incorporating new technologies, processes, and business practices to enhance efficiency, productivity, and sustainability. For instance, Woodio, a Finland-based modern interior and design brand, introduced the Biowaste Box in April 2021, representing a contract manufacturing business model. The company's newly developed, adaptable, and reasonably priced tooling enables the manufacturing of a broad range of items. While Woodio material has primarily served as a ceramic substitute, the company's innovative production procedures and subcontract manufacturing pave the way for the competitive use of a broader variety of materials, including plastic, composites, and clay.
In December 2022, Metrie, a Canadian-based manufacturer and distributor of interior millwork, made a strategic move by acquiring the Hemlock and Alder manufacturing and distribution business of Fred Tebb & Sons, Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to strengthen the solid wood product manufacturing and service offerings for both companies, benefitting new and existing customers. Fred Tebb & Sons, Inc. is a US-based company specializing in solid wood manufacturing and distribution.
