US Wood Millwork Demand to Rise 2.4% Yearly in Nominal Terms to 2023

CLEVELAND, Nov. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Demand for wood millwork in the US is forecast to increase 2.4% annually in nominal terms through 2023, according to Wood Millwork: United States, a report recently released by Freedonia Focus Reports. Gains will be driven by rising building construction activity, the aesthetically pleasing properties of wood, and the perception of wood as an environmentally friendly material. However, further growth will be limited by negative characteristics of wood (e.g., susceptibility to cracking and decay). Furthermore, intensifying competition from plastics and other alternative materials offering similar aesthetics, including woodgrain patterning, will restrain additional gains.

Wood moulding and trim sales are expected to remain the leading product segment. Demand will be supported by rising new housing construction activity and advances in office, commercial, and institutional building construction. Sales of wood hard-surface flooring – the second largest product segment – will be fueled by expanding residential replacement and renovation activity and the superior aesthetics of wood flooring.
