Plywood Sheathing Price Trend for the First Half of 2024

In the first half of 2024, the plywood sheathing market experienced notable fluctuations driven by various economic and environmental factors. The beginning of the year saw a decline in prices, largely due to reduced demand in the construction sector as high interest rates continued to weigh on housing starts and commercial projects. However, as spring approached, there was a significant uptick in construction activity, leading to a reversal of this trend.

The demand for plywood sheathing surged, particularly driven by the increased need for residential and commercial building materials. This demand, coupled with limited supply and production challenges, especially in the wake of supply chain disruptions from wildfires in North America, contributed to rising prices. Additionally, the overall increase in lumber prices, which are closely tied to the cost of plywood sheathing, added further pressure. As builders rushed to secure materials amid fears of further price hikes, the market remained tight, with inventories struggling to keep pace with demand. Overall, the first half of 2024 was characterized by a dynamic and volatile market for plywood sheathing, with prices reflecting the broader economic uncertainties and supply constraints in the construction industry.
