概述
全球再生木材市场在 2023 年达到 542 亿美元,预计到 2031 年将达到 771 亿美元,2024-2031 年预测期间复合年增长率为 4.5%。
现在市场上的定製程度可与传统硬木和胶合板产品相媲美。为了在日益拥挤的市场中脱颖而出,许多新进业者正在采取「客製化」策略,以提高消费者对其产品的兴趣。
近年来另一个显着的趋势是工业自动化的使用。自动化使生产商能够大幅降低生产成本并提高产品的承受能力。为了确保未来市场的稳定成长,更多的生产商需要转向自动化生产流程。

对森林砍伐的担忧日益加剧
对木材的需求已成为过去十年中森林砍伐的主要原因之一,从2010年起森林砍伐的速度急剧加快。如果联合国粮食及农业组织的资料可信,那么每年有近 1,000 万公顷的森林被砍伐。对森林砍伐的日益担忧促使消费者行为转向木製家居用品。
调查显示,如果这意味着可以减缓森林砍伐速度,西方消费者愿意为再生木材产品支付溢价。鑑于永续发展的吸引力,许多高收入阶层的消费者专门选择由再生木材製成的家具和配件。
消费者不再使用合板
几十年来,家具和配件主要作为大众市场产品销售,由普通等级的胶合板廉价製造。然而,这种家具不是很耐用,许多消费者正在选择更耐用的选择。过去十年,对实木配件的需求显着增加。
然而,由于优质硬木来源困难,实木家居用品的价格非常昂贵。因此,再生木材为希望摆脱胶合板的消费者提供了更经济的选择。这一趋势在已开发国家更为明显,那里的人均收入较高,使得放弃胶合板变得更加可行。
生产成本高
儘管再生木材产品越来越受欢迎,但在生产中仍面临许多挑战。最重要的挑战是采购优质二手木材。大多数情况下,大多数木材都会腐烂并被细菌和真菌污染。采购高品质的旧木材是一个困难且耗时的过程,这会增加生产成本。
再生木材製品的生产需要使用善于识别和加工木材的熟练商人。由于这是一项利基技能,许多行业都面临劳动力短缺的问题,而且该行业的工资与其他行业相比相对较高。较高的生产成本意味着成品的产量较高,并最终限制了全球市场的覆盖范围。
Overview
Global Reclaimed Lumber Market reached US$ 54.2 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 77.1 billion by 2031, growing with a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period 2024-2031.
The degree of customization now available in the market is rivaling that of traditional hardwood and plywood products. To differentiate themselves in an increasingly crowded marketplace, many new entrants are embarking upon a 'made-to-order' strategy to increase consumer interest in their products.
Another notable trend that has become prominent in recent years is the usage of industrial automation. Automation has allowed producers to drastically lower production costs and increase the affordability of their products. For ensuring steady market growth in the future, more producers need to switch over to an automated production process.
Dynamics
Rising Concerns About Deforestation
The demand for lumber has become one of the major causes of deforestation over the past decade, with the pace of deforestation accelerating sharply from 2010 onwards. If UN Food and Agricultural Organization data is to be believed, then nearly 10 million hectares of forests are cut down every year. The growing concerns about deforestation have prompted a shift in consumer behaviors towards wooden home furnishing articles.
Surveys indicate that western consumers are prepared to pay a premium for reclaimed lumber products if it means that deforestation can be slowed down. Given the appeal of sustainability, many consumers in the high-income bracket are exclusively opting for furniture and fittings made from reclaimed lumber.
Consumer Shift Away from Plywood
For many decades, furniture and fittings were mainly marketed as mass market products manufactured cheaply from average grades of plywood. However, such furniture is not very durable and many consumers are opting for more durable options. The demand for solid wood fittings has increased noticeably over the past decade.
However, since good quality hardwoods are difficult to source, the price of solid wood home fitting articles is very expensive. So, reclaimed lumber offers a much more economical alternative for consumers looking to shift away from plywood. The trend is more noticeable in developed countries, where higher per capita incomes makes the shift away from plywood much more feasible.
High Cost of Production
Inspite of their growing popularity, reclaimed lumber products face a number of challenges in production. The most important challenge is to source good quality used wood. Far too often, most wood is rotten and contaminated with bacteria and fungi. Sourcing high quality of old wood is a difficult and time consuming process, which adds to the production cost.
The production of reclaimed lumber articles requires the usage of skilled tradesmen who are adept at identifying and processing wood. Since this is a niche skill, many industries are facing labor shortages and wages in the sector are relatively higher compared to other trades. The higher cost of production translates to higher products for finished products and ultimately limits the reach of the global market.
The global reclaimed lumber market is segmented based on source, application, end-user and region.
Consumers Mainly Prefer Flooring Made From Reclaimed Lumber
Out of all applications, flooring made from reclaimed lumber remains the most popular with consumers. It also offers certain advantages for manufacturers as well, since flooring has a smaller form factor, making it relatively easy to manufacture. In fact, the first product offering of new entrants in the market is flooring. Many established wooden home furnishing manufacturers are gradually switching towards using reclaimed lumber, since it is less energy intensive to manufacture.
Even though flooring is the most popular application for reclaimed lumber, there is also a sizeable market demand for paneling and siding. But due to its relatively higher price, it is relegated among upper middle class consumers. Many reclaimed lumber companies are also increasingly developing their own lines of wooden furniture, such as tables and chairs.
New Government Initiatives Will Propel Market Growth in North America
The reclaimed lumber industry has taken off in North America, as the region has a much larger concentration of high-income consumers. Furthermore, wood remains an essential material for architectural design in North America, given the harsh cold climate in large parts of the region. Despite growing consumer interest, it is government support that is really propelling the industry forward.
The U.S. Forest Service has published a large amount of free knowledge resources on its website to aid consumers in making an informed choice about purchasing reclaimed lumber articles. Similarly, some government agencies have also rolled out financial aids for companies manufacturing reclaimed lumber. A recent instance of this is U.S. environmental protection agency making a capital investment of US$ 4 million in November 2023, in the reclaimed lumber industry of Seattle in western U.S.
The pandemic created very tough times for the reclaimed lumber industry. Many producers had to temporarily halt operations as sourcing lumber became difficult due to lockdowns and other movement restrictions. Many labor-intensive reclaimed lumber companies had to suspend operations due to labor shortages. Some smaller companies were forced into bankruptcy due to difficult economic situation created by the pandemic.
Even in the aftermath of the pandemic, many of the small player in the market struggled to raise their business. However, with a noticeable global shift towards sustainability, demand for reclaimed lumber is once again swinging upwards. It is expected that the manufacturing of reclaimed lumber will become more popular in emerging countries as well.
Even before the war in Ukraine, Russia's reclaimed lumber industry was struggling. Given the large area that is under forest cover, lumber is widely and cheaply available. Reclaimed lumber is especially expensive due to bureaucratic regulations and corruption. Illegal logging and smuggling of lumber further complicates the full-fledged development of a local reclaimed lumber industry.
With most western countries imposing tough economic sanctions on Russia, most western technology companies which were engaged in developing the local sector left the country. Without western investment, the Russian reclaimed lumber industry is likely to stagnate over the coming years.
The major global players in the market include Longleaf Lumber Inc., Jarmak Corporation, Elmwood Reclaimed Timber, Recycling The Past, LLC, Altruwood, Vintage Timberworks Inc., Carpentier, Imondi Flooring, Olde Wood Limited and TerraMai.
The global reclaimed lumber market report would provide approximately 69 tables, 62 figures and 199 Pages.
