Abstract
World production of wood based panel has grown from 63,1 million cubic meters in 2005 to 75,5 million m3 in 2009, a 12 million m3 rise in production. China is the world's largest wood based panel’s manufacturer. The Turkish wood based panels industry has shown a tendency of fluctuating during this time. Turkey, as the world’s 4th largest producer of wood based panels, is an important contributor to the industry. Turkey has made great strides in the last 20 years in the forest products industry. Both the development of new materials and techniques of domestic and international market demand have played a decisive role. Turkey's wood panel production has gone from 100000 m3 in the early 2000s, to 5,5 million m³ of production in 2010. The sector's total production capacity is approximately 9 million m³. The results obtained thus far indicate that the Turkish wood based panel industry demand for raw material is not being met by the GDF's chip wood fiber production. Where the raw material supply problem in the industry, as well as the problems encountered in the forest and on the basis of the villagers living adjacent to, not to the time of product problems related to storage and transportation of raw materials and other related problems are bottlenecks. We examine problems related to the provision of raw materials and raw materials research, the need for future estimates of the level at which the world and close to the periphery countries will be examined, wood composite panel production and trade policy recommendations will be developed.
Highlights
The forest products industry has been an inevitable propelling power of economy since olden times (Mahapatra and Mitchell 1997, Ok 2005, İlter and Ok 2007, Paul and Chakrabarti 2011)
The fact that the wood demand is still being met via illegal methods today highlights the relevance of sustainable forest management, the practice of certification for industrial wood production (Schanz 2002, Hetemäki and Nilsson 2005, Krott 2005, Ingold and Zimmermann 2011)
Based on changes in the population, gross domestic product per capita in US dollars on basis of current producer prices and number of completed buildings according to years, and that are simple regression formulas in figure 1a, figure 1b and figure 1c
Summary
The forest products industry has been an inevitable propelling power of economy since olden times (Mahapatra and Mitchell 1997, Ok 2005, İlter and Ok 2007, Paul and Chakrabarti 2011). Industrial use of wood is important from the past through today. Meeting wood demand is of great importance to the forestry sector. The fact that the wood demand is still being met via illegal methods today highlights the relevance of sustainable forest management, the practice of certification for industrial wood production (Schanz 2002, Hetemäki and Nilsson 2005, Krott 2005, Ingold and Zimmermann 2011). The board sector of the wood industry has made a giant leap forward, especially in the last ten years. In recent years the use of wood-based panels such as fiberboard, particleboard, oriented strandboard, plywood etc., for several applications has been gaining great importance due to their properties (Ustaömer and Usta 2012)
