Particleboard is a type of artificial board made from wood or other lignocellulosic materials in the form of crushed materials.
After applying adhesive, it is bonded together under the action of heat and pressure, and is also known as particle board or crushed material board.

Particle board has a large market share due to the following three major advantages:
Better environmental performance:
Less glue is used during the processing, and its environmental performance is more outstanding compared to plywood and fiberboard;
Outstanding physical properties:
Outstanding physical properties:
The interlaced internal particle structure provides excellent sound absorption and insulation characteristics, suitable for custom home cabinets and acoustic engineering;
Significant cost-effectiveness:
Significant cost-effectiveness:
The raw material utilization rate is as high as 90%, and the final price is 20%-30% lower than similar products.

The transformation of the international trade landscape
In 2024, the industry will exhibit the characteristics of "stable imports and significant export growth":
The import volume was 764,800 tons (year-on-year increase of 1.03%), and the export volume was 528,600 tons (year-on-year increase of 34.40%);
The net import volume decreased to 236,200 tons, a year-on-year decrease of 35.06%, and the effect of domestic substitution was remarkable;
Ordinary particleboard remained the main trade item, accounting for 82.53% of the import volume and 70.34% of the export volume.
