The Indian plywood industry, comprising over 3,300 manufacturing units and supporting nearly one million livelihoods, is witnessing steady growth driven by urbanisation, real estate expansion, infrastructure development, and changing consumer preferences. Almost 90 – 95% of timber requirement of this wood-based plywood industry is being met from agroforestry wood such as Poplar & Eucalyptus in northern India and Rubber wood, Silver oak Melia dubia in southern India grown by Farmers, who have now taken up plantation of these short rotation timber species on a large scale. A large number of manufacturing units in the plywood industry operate at a micro and small scale. Plywood remains a critical input for furniture manufacturing and construction, making it one of the most important segments of the wood-based panel industry. The most popular forest wood that was used once upon a time in India for making plywood was Gurjan wood.
