FEA North American Wood Panels Service members receive:
This tool is a continuously updated listing of individual mill capacities for North American OSB, softwood plywood, particleboard and MDF. This information will be available to subscribers on the FEA site, will be updated regularly and will reflect the latest information on new capacity investment, existing mill expansions, mill closures and ownership changes.
In an age of bare-bones budgets for internal analysts, you can think of FEA’s analysts as your out-sourced team of economists. In addition to our subscription research products, FEA analysts produce single and multi-client reports that examine issues that may not be covered in depth in our regular reports. Call our team to discuss any project you have in mind.
Who could benefit from FEA’s Wood Panel forecast services?
Strategic planners, senior executives, purchasing managers, sales managers, investment analysts, and other stakeholders in the wood panels industry use FEA forecasts to answer questions such as:
“Where are panel prices headed over the next 12 months?
“What effects will government regulations have on particleboard and MDF production costs?”
“Do the long-term supply and demand fundamentals support our decision to invest in new OSB capacity?”
“How much market share can Canadian producers expect to maintain if the Canadian dollar trades near parity?”
“What effect will the emerging biomass sector have on the supply of mill residues and the profitability of panel producers?”
“How much market share can I expect OSB to take from plywood over the medium and long term?”
