It has been a transformative year for plywood sector at large. With regulatory tightening, formalization of supply chain, preference for certified, branded and sustainable materials, the contours of this industry are shifting rapidly.
As per Mr Anand Kumar Singh, MD, Sylvan Plyboard (India) Ltd, “The Company has countered this shift with foresight, through investments in automation, compliance and people. With the sector reaching an estimated market size of Rs 235.1 billion & expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.496 % through FY33, the long-term outlook remains optimistic. This momentum is fuelled by rising demand in real estate, modular interior, infrastructure and retail fit-outs, all supported by governmentled initiatives under the Make in India framework for the national vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047.”
One of the most defining regulatory shifts in FY25 has been the implementation of mandatory BIS certification. These mandates are fast becoming the standard of entry into the organized market for both manufacturers and buyers in terms of drawing distinctions between quality-backed products & unregulated alternatives.
mported plywood, holding a notable share of the Indian market is under increased scrutiny as it struggles to meet quality standards, creating tailwind for domestic Players with in-house compliance system, and certified product lines.
Digitization will continue to be a key enabler as company collaborated with a select group of influencers to create aspirational content, while employee-generated content and storytelling, asserting its tag line- Kuch Bhi Socho, Sylvan Se Banalo through ground work in emerging market.
Mr Anand concluded that FY 25 will be a year of sharper execution and deeper partnership as Sylvan Ply builds enduring value across the country and beyond in the changing dynamics of the plywood industry.
