India's Largest Wood and Laminates Companies

One of India's oldest businesses is plywood and laminates. However, there are still a lot of unorganized participants in it. There are few significant companies in the sector due to variables such as clustering manufacturing facilities and environmental conditions influencing the production line. The business is now worth roughly Rs. 22,500 crore, although unorganized companies account for the majority of this. There are a few brands available; however, they are primarily targeted at urban regions.

With the increase in urbanization and enhancement in lifestyle and standard of living, the industry has witnessed good demand. Witnessing the current trends of modern nuclear families, and the need for more private spaces, it is going to progress more rapidly. Out of many unorganized and branded wood laminate products, we list out the best in the country for you.

1. Century Plyboards
Century Plyboards, which was founded in 1986, is presently the largest seller of multiuse plywood and ornamental veneers in India, with a market share of roughly 25%. A laminate, particle board, and MDF division with a daily capacity of 600 cu m is also available. The company, like several of its counterparts in the industry, has benefited from strong demand momentum and market share increases from unorganised companies. Its good operating success is projected to continue in the future, thanks to recent price increases and cost savings. The next leg of development is projected to come from capacity expansion across its major product verticals. The corporation has been able to increase its treasury surplus by generating significant operating cash flows. On the segment front, the company has witnessed robust demand, as well as the possibility of gaining market share, which has resulted in good volume growth across key verticals. Demand is expected to improve starting in Q2FY2022, according to management. Cost-cutting activities, price rises, and strong demand for MDF are expected to offset the rise in raw material costs in terms of operating margins.
