Woodworking And Paper Machinery Global Market Report 2024

The woodworking and paper machinery market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $42.3 billion in 2023 to $46.24 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The historical period's growth can be attributed to several factors, including the industrialization of wood processing, the expansion of the paper industry, increasing sustainability and environmental concerns, and a rising global demand for wood products.

The woodworking and paper machinery market is poised for growth, driven by the expanding e-commerce industry. E-commerce, involving online buying and selling of goods and services, has led to increased demand for packaging materials like cardboard and corrugated paper. This, in turn, fuels the need for paper machinery used in packaging production. For example, in August 2023, the U.S. Census Bureau reported a 2.1% increase in U.S. retail e-commerce sales for the second quarter of 2023, reaching an estimated $277.6 billion compared to the first quarter of the same year. Consequently, the rapid growth of e-commerce is a key driver for the woodworking and paper machinery market.

The woodworking and paper machinery markets are set to benefit from the rising demand in the construction industry for wooden or wood-framed homes. Woodworking machinery plays a crucial role in processing wood components used in constructing such homes, like cross-laminated timber (CLT) and laminated veneer lumber (LVL). In 2021, 92% of new homes in the U.S. were wood-framed, with 895,000 wood-framed homes completed, marking an 8% increase over the previous year, according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). Hence, the construction industry's increasing demand is expected to be a driving force for the woodworking and paper machinery market in the forecast period.

The primary categories of woodworking and paper machinery consist of machinery for the paper industry and machinery for woodworking. Paper industry machinery pertains to equipment employed in the production and substantial output of paper. Various machine types within this category include formers, presses, dryers, sizers, and other varieties. These machines come in various sizes, including small, medium, and large, and can be operated autonomously, semi-autonomously, or manually.

Major companies in the woodworking and paper machinery markets are actively developing innovative products, such as kraftliner machines, to enhance their offerings. Kraftliner machines are industrial devices used in paper manufacturing to produce high-strength kraftliner paper, commonly used in packaging, particularly for corrugated boxes. For instance, in April 2023, the Voith Group, a German technology company specializing in papermaking machinery, introduced the world's largest kraftliner machine for SCA, a Swedish forest industry company. This machine boasts impressive specifications, including a design speed of 1,400 meters per minute and a wire width of 10,200 mm. It is capable of producing 725,000 tons of high-quality kraftliner annually, with basis weights ranging from 100 to 200 gsm. This innovation significantly increases SCA's production capacity by 270,000 tons while reducing resource consumption and maximizing productivity with minimal production costs.

Automation is an emerging technology embraced by sawmills and woodworking machinery manufacturers, as it offers faster, more efficient production and waste reduction. Automated sawmills and woodworking machinery are capable of performing tasks without human intervention. These automated systems include Roundwood handling and cutting systems, fully automated debarking systems, and X-ray scanners.
