There are currently more than 1400 production enterprises, with a total production capacity of about 46 million cubic meters per year, continuing to rank first in the country; The number and production capacity of plywood products production enterprises in Guangxi have both increased. There are currently more than 1300 production enterprises, with a total production capacity of about 35 million cubic meters per year, surpassing Jiangsu Province and ranking second in the country; Jiangsu Province is a traditional production province for plywood products in China, with over 860 production enterprises and a total production capacity of about 29 million cubic meters per year, ranking third in the country; There are more than 510 production enterprises in Anhui Province, with a total production capacity of 13.7 million cubic meters per year, ranking fourth; There are more than 520 production enterprises in Henan Province, with a total production capacity of 11 million cubic meters per year, surpassing Hebei, Fujian, and Zhejiang provinces and ranking fifth in the country; There are more than 280 plywood production enterprises in Zhejiang Province, with a total production capacity of about 7.3 million cubic meters per year, accounting for 3.8% of the total production capacity in China and ranking sixth in the country; There are more than 240 plywood production enterprises in Hebei Province, with a total production capacity of about 7.2 million cubic meters per year, ranking seventh in the country.
Overview of China's particle board market In 2020, 16 particle board production lines were built and put into operation nationwide, with an additional production capacity of 3.09 million cubic meters per year. As of the end of 2020, 329 particle board production enterprises in China had 348 particle board production lines, distributed in 24 provinces (cities, districts), with a total production capacity of 36.91 million cubic meters per year, a decrease of 3.5% from the end of 2019, and an average single line production capacity further increasing to 106000 cubic meters per year. The total production capacity of particleboard in China has experienced rapid growth for four consecutive years and has slightly decreased. Overall, the number of enterprises, production lines, and total production capacity have decreased, while the average single line production capacity has increased. In 2020, approximately 92 chipboard production lines were closed, dismantled or discontinued nationwide, eliminating outdated production capacity of approximately 5.8 million cubic meters per year. As of the end of 2020, a total of 1123 chipboard production lines have been closed, dismantled or discontinued nationwide, eliminating outdated production capacity of approximately 27.72 million cubic meters per year. As of the end of 2020, there were 73 continuous flat pressed particleboard production lines in China, with a total production capacity of 17.63 million cubic meters per year, accounting for 47.8% of the total production capacity of particleboard in the country, distributed in 17 provinces and regions. The production capacity of Shandong Province has further increased to 7.41 million cubic meters per year, continuing to rank first in the country; Although the production capacity of Guangdong and Hebei provinces has decreased, they still maintain the second and third positions; The production capacity of Guangxi has increased to 3.25 million cubic meters per year, surpassing Jiangsu Province and ranking fourth; Jiangsu Province's production capacity has decreased to fifth place; Anhui Province ranks sixth in terms of production capacity growth; Henan Province's ranking has been lowered to seventh; The production capacity of Hubei and Sichuan provinces has decreased, but their ranking remains eighth and ninth; Fujian Province's production capacity has surpassed Jiangxi Province and returned to the top ten. In 2020, three new production lines for oriented particle board (including fine surface oriented particle board) were put into operation nationwide, with an additional production capacity of 850000 cubic meters per year. As of the end of 2020, there were 26 directional particle board production lines in China, with a total production capacity of 4.16 million cubic meters per year. The production capacity increased by 18.5% from the end of 2019, distributed in 7 provinces and regions including Shandong, Hubei, Guangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Guizhou, and Yunnan. At the beginning of 2021, there were 25 chipboard production lines under construction nationwide, with a total production capacity of 6.75 million cubic meters per year. Seven major regions across the country (East China, South China, Central China, Southwest, North China, Northeast, and Northwest) had chipboard production lines under construction, including 18 continuous flat pressing production lines, with a total production capacity of 5.72 million cubic meters per year, accounting for 84.5% of the chipboard production capacity under construction. Among the particle board production lines under construction, there are 7 directional particle board (including fine surface oriented particle board) production lines, with a total production capacity of 2.23 million cubic meters per year. They will be gradually built and put into operation from 2021 to 2022. At that time, the national directional particle board production capacity will further increase by nearly 50%, exceeding 6 million cubic meters per year.The particle board production line under construction will gradually be put into operation from 2021 to 2022, and it is expected that the total production capacity of particle boards in China will exceed 40 million cubic meters per year by the end of 2021.
