世界の再生木材の市場規模は、2023年に542億米ドルに達し、2024~2031年の予測期間中にCAGR 4.5%で成長し、2031年には771億米ドルに達すると予測されています。
現在の市場では、従来の広葉樹や合板製品に匹敵するほどのカスタマイズが可能になっています。ますます混雑するマーケットプレースで差別化を図るため、多くの新規参入企業が「オーダーメイド」戦略に乗り出し、自社製品に対する消費者の関心を高めています。
近年目立つようになったもうひとつの動向は、工業オートメーションの利用です。オートメーション化によって、生産者は生産コストを大幅に下げ、製品の値ごろ感を高めることができるようになりました。今後、安定した市場成長を確保するためには、より多くの生産者が自動化された生産プロセスに切り替える必要があります。

森林破壊に対する懸念の高まり
過去10年間、木材需要は森林破壊の主な原因のひとつとなっており、2010年以降、森林破壊のペースは急激に加速しています。国連食糧農業機関のデータを信じるならば、毎年1,000万ヘクタール近くの森林が伐採されていることになります。森林破壊に対する懸念の高まりは、木製家具への消費行動の変化を促しています。
調査によれば、欧米の消費者は、森林破壊を遅らせることができるのであれば、再生木材製品に割高な価格を支払う用意があるといいます。持続可能性に魅力を感じる高所得層の消費者の多くは、もっぱら再生材を使った家具や建具を選んでいます。
消費者の合板離れ
何十年もの間、家具や建具は主に平均的なグレードの合板から安価に製造された大衆向け製品として販売されてきました。しかし、そのような家具は耐久性に乏しく、多くの消費者はより耐久性の高い選択肢を選ぶようになっています。無垢材の建具の需要は、過去10年間で顕著に増加しています。
しかし、良質の広葉樹は入手が困難なため、無垢材の住宅用建具の価格は非常に高価です。そこで、合板からの脱却を目指す消費者にとって、再生木材はより経済的な選択肢となります。この動向は、一人当たりの所得が高い先進諸国で顕著であり、合板からの移行がより現実的になっています。
高い生産コスト
人気が高まっているとはいえ、再生木材製品の生産には多くの課題があります。最も重要な課題は、良質の使用済み木材を調達することです。ほとんどの木材は腐り、バクテリアや菌類に汚染されていることがあまりにも多いです。良質の古材を調達するのは困難で時間のかかる作業であり、それが製造コストに拍車をかけています。
再生木材の生産には、木材の識別と加工に長けた熟練工が必要です。これはニッチな技術であるため、多くの産業が労働力不足に直面しており、この分野の賃金は他の職業に比べて比較的高いです。生産コストが高くなると、完成品の価格も高くなり、最終的には世界市場への参入が制限されます。
Overview
Global Reclaimed Lumber Market reached US$ 54.2 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 77.1 billion by 2031, growing with a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period 2024-2031.
The degree of customization now available in the market is rivaling that of traditional hardwood and plywood products. To differentiate themselves in an increasingly crowded marketplace, many new entrants are embarking upon a 'made-to-order' strategy to increase consumer interest in their products.
Another notable trend that has become prominent in recent years is the usage of industrial automation. Automation has allowed producers to drastically lower production costs and increase the affordability of their products. For ensuring steady market growth in the future, more producers need to switch over to an automated production process.
Dynamics
Rising Concerns About Deforestation
The demand for lumber has become one of the major causes of deforestation over the past decade, with the pace of deforestation accelerating sharply from 2010 onwards. If UN Food and Agricultural Organization data is to be believed, then nearly 10 million hectares of forests are cut down every year. The growing concerns about deforestation have prompted a shift in consumer behaviors towards wooden home furnishing articles.
Surveys indicate that western consumers are prepared to pay a premium for reclaimed lumber products if it means that deforestation can be slowed down. Given the appeal of sustainability, many consumers in the high-income bracket are exclusively opting for furniture and fittings made from reclaimed lumber.
Consumer Shift Away from Plywood
For many decades, furniture and fittings were mainly marketed as mass market products manufactured cheaply from average grades of plywood. However, such furniture is not very durable and many consumers are opting for more durable options. The demand for solid wood fittings has increased noticeably over the past decade.
However, since good quality hardwoods are difficult to source, the price of solid wood home fitting articles is very expensive. So, reclaimed lumber offers a much more economical alternative for consumers looking to shift away from plywood. The trend is more noticeable in developed countries, where higher per capita incomes makes the shift away from plywood much more feasible.
High Cost of Production
Inspite of their growing popularity, reclaimed lumber products face a number of challenges in production. The most important challenge is to source good quality used wood. Far too often, most wood is rotten and contaminated with bacteria and fungi. Sourcing high quality of old wood is a difficult and time consuming process, which adds to the production cost.
The production of reclaimed lumber articles requires the usage of skilled tradesmen who are adept at identifying and processing wood. Since this is a niche skill, many industries are facing labor shortages and wages in the sector are relatively higher compared to other trades. The higher cost of production translates to higher products for finished products and ultimately limits the reach of the global market.
The global reclaimed lumber market is segmented based on source, application, end-user and region.
Consumers Mainly Prefer Flooring Made From Reclaimed Lumber
Out of all applications, flooring made from reclaimed lumber remains the most popular with consumers. It also offers certain advantages for manufacturers as well, since flooring has a smaller form factor, making it relatively easy to manufacture. In fact, the first product offering of new entrants in the market is flooring. Many established wooden home furnishing manufacturers are gradually switching towards using reclaimed lumber, since it is less energy intensive to manufacture.
Even though flooring is the most popular application for reclaimed lumber, there is also a sizeable market demand for paneling and siding. But due to its relatively higher price, it is relegated among upper middle class consumers. Many reclaimed lumber companies are also increasingly developing their own lines of wooden furniture, such as tables and chairs.
New Government Initiatives Will Propel Market Growth in North America
The reclaimed lumber industry has taken off in North America, as the region has a much larger concentration of high-income consumers. Furthermore, wood remains an essential material for architectural design in North America, given the harsh cold climate in large parts of the region. Despite growing consumer interest, it is government support that is really propelling the industry forward.
The U.S. Forest Service has published a large amount of free knowledge resources on its website to aid consumers in making an informed choice about purchasing reclaimed lumber articles. Similarly, some government agencies have also rolled out financial aids for companies manufacturing reclaimed lumber. A recent instance of this is U.S. environmental protection agency making a capital investment of US$ 4 million in November 2023, in the reclaimed lumber industry of Seattle in western U.S.
The pandemic created very tough times for the reclaimed lumber industry. Many producers had to temporarily halt operations as sourcing lumber became difficult due to lockdowns and other movement restrictions. Many labor-intensive reclaimed lumber companies had to suspend operations due to labor shortages. Some smaller companies were forced into bankruptcy due to difficult economic situation created by the pandemic.
Even in the aftermath of the pandemic, many of the small player in the market struggled to raise their business. However, with a noticeable global shift towards sustainability, demand for reclaimed lumber is once again swinging upwards. It is expected that the manufacturing of reclaimed lumber will become more popular in emerging countries as well.
Even before the war in Ukraine, Russia's reclaimed lumber industry was struggling. Given the large area that is under forest cover, lumber is widely and cheaply available. Reclaimed lumber is especially expensive due to bureaucratic regulations and corruption. Illegal logging and smuggling of lumber further complicates the full-fledged development of a local reclaimed lumber industry.
With most western countries imposing tough economic sanctions on Russia, most western technology companies which were engaged in developing the local sector left the country. Without western investment, the Russian reclaimed lumber industry is likely to stagnate over the coming years.
The major global players in the market include Longleaf Lumber Inc., Jarmak Corporation, Elmwood Reclaimed Timber, Recycling The Past, LLC, Altruwood, Vintage Timberworks Inc., Carpentier, Imondi Flooring, Olde Wood Limited and TerraMai.
