China Plywood Exports Shift to Emerging Markets

China’s plywood export volume keeps rising. Orders from Europe and US drop due to tariff barriers, while more inquiries come from Latin America, Middle East and Southeast Asia.

Raw wood and glue costs go up and cut factory profits. Overseas buyers pay more attention to board quality and certificates.

Many local factories adjust product sizes and complete export documents. They focus on Latin‑American markets and control production costs to get orders for local construction and packaging projects.
