The subject of the research report is the  Russian plywood market.

Plywood –wood material consisting of several veneer sheets glued together. Usually plywood is formed by 3–5 veneer sheets with mutually perpendicular arrangement of wood fibers in related sheets.

Russian plywood market is one o f the largest in the world: the Russian Federation is the 2nd in production volumes and the 3rd in consumption of this material among the countries of Europe, North America and CIS.

Dynamics of the Russian plywood market has been influenced by the economic crisis. In 2008 the inner plywood consumption volume decreased by 0,3%, and in 2009 this indicator was already 40%. But already in 2013 these indicators started to grow.

The core factor of the Russian plywood market is the domestic production, the demand is almost fully satisfied by the Russian companies.
