By the end of 2025, five core panel categories—Melamine-faced panels, PET high-gloss panels, Medium-Density Fiberboard (MDF), plywood, and particleboard—have achieved overall growth. Export volume surged by 32.5% year-on-year, with the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and European markets contributing over 60% of overseas growth.
Each segment boasts distinct highlights: Melamine panels, favored for rich designs and cost-effectiveness, have 75% of products meeting E0/ENF environmental standards, with exports up 28%. PET high-gloss panels, renowned for mirror-like texture and stain resistance, have become a top choice for high-end furniture, capturing over 15% of the European and American markets. MDF, with uniform texture and excellent processability, sees soaring demand for flame-retardant and moisture-proof variants, with sales rising 22%.
Plywood, valued for high load-bearing capacity and stability, has over 30% export growth for waterproof and flame-retardant types, serving as a core material for Southeast Asian infrastructure projects. Particleboard has upgraded via technology, with OSB panels excelling in prefabricated construction.
Exports are tailored to regional needs: the Middle East prefers fire-resistant and weather-resistant panels; Southeast Asia sees growing purchases of MDF and particleboard for local furniture manufacturing; Europe favors high-environmental-grade (E1+) PET panels and customized Melamine panels. With a full-category layout, our company achieved 40% year-on-year export growth in 2025, shortening delivery cycles to 15 days and gaining wide recognition from global customers.
Looking ahead to 2026, the industry will shift toward environmental protection, functionality, and intelligence. We will optimize product performance, deepen overseas layout, and provide one-stop panel supply solutions.
