In 2016, Brazilian production of reconstituted woodbased panels dropped 2.4% compared to 2015, ending the year at 7.3 million cu.m. Production of MDF/HDF and HB fell 8.8% and 8.9%, respectively while production of MD particleboard increased 9%.

Part of the decline in sales of MDF/HDF and HB panels was the result of reduced household spending on mainly furniture, a major segment of woodbased panel market in Brazil.

In 2016 sales in the furniture sector fell 12% leading to a decline in sales of reconstituted wood panels in the domestic market. In order to compensate for sales reduction in the domestic market, the industry directed production to international markets and exports topped 1.1 million cu.m 64% higher than in 2015.

Meanwhile, laminate flooring production totalled 11.8 million sq.m in 2016 which represented a 7% reduction compared to 2015.
