The global fire retardant plywood market was valued at USD 993.3 million in 2017. Rising awareness among builders and contractors, urbanization, and implementation of stringent regulation by governing bodies are driving the demand for the FRT plywood. Moreover, increasing fire incidents across the globe is one of the major drivers due to which adoption of fire retardant plywood is expected to grow in during the forecast period.
The fire retardant plywood industry has been witnessing drastic change over the past two decades, with an increasing demand for fire proof lumber for various applications. The sales of the fire retardant plywood are expected to show lucrative growth over the forecast period owing to the increasing fire incidences globally. Moreover, increasing trend of using less toxic chemicals to treat wood is expected to boost the fire retardant plywood market over the forecast period.
Key factors impacting the global fire retardant plywood market
The above graph represents the key factors which are impacting and will keep impacting the global fire retardant plywood market during the forecast period. There is comparison of impact in 2017 and what will be the impact effects in the coming years. For instance, adoption of FRT plywood is increasing due to growing structural fire incidents across the globe. The number of structural fire incidents as of 2017 were at the highest level. As the adoption rate of FRT plywood is increasing the number of structural fire incidents are expected to decrease in 2022 as you can see in the above figure.

As a result of increasing fire incidences globally the adoption of fire retardant plywood products has increased. For instance, there were 358,500 home structure fire reported during the year 2011 to 2015. Nearly 2,510 deaths were recorded in these cases and approximately 93% of civilian died in these home fires. Owing to the personal safety reasons the fire retardant plywood market is expected to witness growth in the coming future.
The first reason for death in home structure fire incidences was fire injuries and smoke leading to the death of fire incidences. As the fire retardant plywood is flame proof and emits less smoke there is a greater chance of civilian’s survival if fire retardant plywood is used. Hence, the properties of fire retardant plywood are expected to propel its growth in future. Moreover, the fire incidences that consist home structure fire were caused by the kitchen equipment’s. Hence, fire proof kitchen cabinets and drawers are expected to drive the market growth in future.
Furthermore, the wild fire incidences are recorded all over U.S. by NASA. The wild fires are recorded near Kansas, south eastern, portion of United Nations. For instance, wild fire breaks out in California in 2016. Where 80,000 people were evacuated and lot of homes were lost with its contents. The fire retardant plywood can be used here as it has a flame spread of 25 and emits less amount of smoke and gives more time for evacuation as well as gathering the contents of the house. As a measure of safety fire retardant wood is expected to witness high acceptability in the coming period.
Company Market Share Analysis
The market for fire retardant plywood is fragmented. Companies have high market in US as well as Canada, Mexico, few are expanding in Asia too. Lonza wood protection is one of the major players in the market which occupied highest market share in 2017. Over the past decades there is been rise in the demand for fire retardant plywood owing to the increase in fire incidences and government initiatives to promote fire retardant plywood to avoid casualties.
Companies are focusing on product innovation in order to expand its share in global market. For instance, many companies are opting for eco-friendly chemicals for the treatment of products such as Lonza. Few are continuously investing in research and development projects to bring in new technology to enhance the wood treatment such as Chemco. Companies are also performing acquisitions to expand their to enhance their product portfolio. For instance, Ram Forest Group was acquired by Stella Jones in October 2015. The purchase was made for USD 60 million by Stella Jones who is a producer of treated wood product, to enhance its offering in the retail market and to optimize operating efficiency across networks.
UCFA also known as interior type fire retardant plywood which dominated the overall market in 2017 by occupying more than 70% and is expected to do so over the forecast period. The plywood is used for interior constructions such as roof trusses, architectural millwork, floor joists, rafters, stages, platforms and partition walls. Moreover, the increasing awareness about the use of fire resistance plywood products is one of the major factor driving the demand. The popular interior fire retardant plywood products available in the market are D-Blaze, Dricon, FlameTech, Fire-Pro, and Pyro-Guard.
