Reports in English

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 of 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.

Research chronology:
- retrospective – 2007–2013;
- forecast – 2014–2020 (price forecast — 2023)

The research report consists of 11 chapters.

The first chapter contains the plywood overview: description, qualities, range of use, classification.

The second chapter is devoted to substitute goods for the plywood (OSB, wood chip board, wood fiber board, MDF. Here there is the estimation of competitiveness of plywood in relation to the substitute goods, the comparative price analysis for the wood boards and plywood, the information about the markets of the substitute goods.

The third chapter contains the overview of the Russian plywood market: the place of Russia at the global market of plywood, the factors of the development of the market, its size and dynamics in 2007–2013, the ratio of the domestic production and import in 2007–2013.

The fourth chapter is devoted to the domestic production of plywood in Russia. There is the dynamics and the structure of production in 2007–2013, the volume and the level of utilization of manufacturing facilities in 2007–2013.

The fifth chapter contains the information about the Russian foreign trade of plywood. Mainly the export is emphasized (there is its detailed structure in 2007–2013 given).

There are the results of the competitive analysis of the Russian plywood market in the sixth chapter. The level of competitiveness and the main trends are estimated, the leaders are set aside, the profiles of the largest producers are described.

The seventh chapter presents the producer's and the export prices for the plywood of the Russian production.

The eighth chapter shows the structure of plywood consumption in Russia.

Chapters nine and ten are devoted to the analysis of related industries (wood and construction) and the consumer-branches of plywood (wood housing construction, furniture trade, wooden containers production) accordingly.

The last, eleventh chapter presents the forecast of the development of the Russian plywood market up to 2020, and the prices forecast up to 2023.

At the end of the report there is the resume.
