Abstract

The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the production, export and import of Indian wood based panels for the period of 24 years. From the year 1990-2013, the total world wood based panel production has come 71.4% from 10 countries, in which China has contributed 1069 million m3 (21.47%) and USA 937.2 million m3 (18.83%) with first and second position in the world. Whereas India has produced 39.14 million m3 wood based panels accounting to 0.79% of the global share. The current scenario shows that production of Indian wood-based panel is 3.39 million m3 in 2013. India has increased with compound annual growth rate (CAGR) 10.52% in production of wood based panels. The CAGR on import of wood based panels during 1990-2013 was 24.54% whereas Export was 9.66%.The statistical parameters such as descriptive analysis, trends and regression analysis have been computed to understand the behavior of wood based panels.
