Medium/high density fibreboard (MDF/HDF) — Production in China, 1995–2024
Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Measured in m3.
Analysis
China recorded 44.08 million m3 for medium/high density fibreboard (mdf/hdf) — production in 2024.
That represents a change of down 9.0% on the previous year and down 22.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, medium/high density fibreboard (mdf/hdf) — production in China peaked at 59.04 million m3 in 2016 and was at its lowest, 540,000 m3, in 1995.
That places China 1st out of 83 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
The database contains data on the production and trade in roundwood and in primary wood and paper products for all countries and territories in the world.The main types of primary forest products included in this database are roundwood, sawnwood, wood-based panels, pulp, and paper and paperboard. These products are detailed further and defined in the Joint Forest Sector Questionnaire (JFSQ) (https://www.fao.org/statistics/data-collection/forestry/en). The database contains details of the following topics: - roundwood removals (production) by coniferous and non-coniferous wood and assortments, - production and trade in industrial roundwood, sawnwood, wood-based panels, wood charcoal, pulp, paper and paperboard, and other products. More detailed information on wood products, including definitions, can be found at: https://www.fao.org/statistics/data-collection/forestry/en
