In February 2023, Industrial Development Planning Institute of National Forestry and Grassland Administration (Institute of Forest Product Industry Planning and Design) and China National Forest Product Industry Association jointly completed the statistics of the change of China's wood-based panel production capacity in 2022, and made a statistical analysis of the new projects in early 2023, based on which the trend was studied and judged. Now officially released China's plywood production capacity change situation and trend research judgment.
By the end of 2022, China had more than 10,800 plywood production enterprises with a total production capacity of 208 million cubic meters per year, a further decrease of 6.3 percent from the end of 2021. The average production capacity of the enterprise is about 19,300 cubic meters/year.
The number of enterprises and total production capacity of plywood industry in China declined, while the average production capacity of enterprises increased slightly.
Plywood production enterprises are distributed in 28 provinces and municipalities, of which 5 provinces, 5 prefectural cities and 2 districts and counties have an annual production capacity of more than 10 million cubic meters.
There are more than 3,550 plywood products manufacturers in Shandong Province, with a total production capacity of about 56 million cubic meters per year, accounting for 26.9% of the country's total production capacity, which continues to rank first in China. The number of plywood products enterprises in Linyi increased slightly, and the production capacity further increased to 41.3 million cubic meters/year, accounting for about 73.8% of the province, and continue to maintain the position of the largest production base of plywood products in Shandong Province and even the country; Fei County's production capacity reached 20 million cubic meters, accounting for 48.4% of the city, while Lanshan District's production capacity reached 15.4 million cubic meters per year, accounting for 37.3% of the city.
At present, there are more than 1,620 plywood production enterprises in Guangxi District, with a total production capacity of about 46.5 million cubic meters/year, accounting for 22.4% of the national total production capacity, ranking the second in China. Guigang is still the largest plywood production base in southern China, with a total production capacity of 19.2 million cubic meters per year, accounting for 41.3% of the region.
There are more than 1,690 plywood production enterprises in Jiangsu Province, with a total production capacity of 30.3 million cubic meters/year, accounting for 14.6% of the national total production capacity, ranking the third in China. Xuzhou's production capacity is about 13.7 million cubic meters/year, accounting for 45.2% of the province; Suqian's production capacity is about 11.6 million cubic meters per year, accounting for 38.3% of the province's total.
There are more than 600 plywood production enterprises in Hebei Province, with a total production capacity of 13.7 million cubic meters/year, accounting for 6.6% of the national total production capacity, ranking the fourth in China. Langfang's production capacity is about 12 million cubic meters per year, accounting for 87.6% of the province.
Anhui Province now has more than 620 plywood production enterprises, with a total production capacity of 13.2 million cubic meters/year, accounting for 6.3% of the national total production capacity, ranking the fifth in China.
The production capacity of polyurethane adhesives, bean based protein adhesives, lignin adhesives, starch based adhesives, thermoplastic resin film and other aldehyde-free plywood products increased further.
In June 2022, the first continuous flat pressed aldehyde-free plywood production line rolled off the production line, marking a new stage of continuous plywood production in China.
By the end of 2022, five plywood manufacturers in China had equipped six horizontal multilayer presses with 50, 80 and 130 layers respectively, marking the further expansion of the application of horizontal multilayer presses with automatic plate loading and unloading devices.
At the beginning of 2023, nearly 2,000 plywood production enterprises were under construction nationwide, with a total production capacity of about 26 million cubic meters per year. Besides Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Chongqing, Qinghai Province and Tibet Autonomous Region, the other 25 provinces and autonomous regions had plywood production enterprises under construction. It is expected that by the end of 2023, the total production capacity of plywood products in China will be close to 210 million cubic meters per year.
By the end of 2022, there were more than 350 plywood manufacturers in China with an annual production capacity of more than 100,000 cubic meters, including nearly 150 large manufacturers and enterprise groups, with a combined production capacity of nearly 27 million cubic meters per year, accounting for 13.0% of the total production capacity. Seven of them have an annual production capacity of more than 500,000 cubic meters.
The information collection of China's wood-based panel production capacity change statistics has been carried out for many years, and has been strongly supported by industrial machinery manufacturing, installation companies, production enterprises and scientific research institutes. We would like to express our gratitude here.
