Lumber Pallet Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

Based on our research output, there has been a positive impact on the market growth during and post-COVID-19 era. The rise in containerization is notably driving the lumber pallet market growth, although factors such as fluctuating lumber prices and shortage of raw materials may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the lumber pallet industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Lumber Pallet Market Driver

The rise in containerization is one of the major drivers impacting the lumber pallet market growth. The growth in containerization is increasing the use of lumber pallets because shipping containers have smooth, level surfaces that permit the quick movement of pallets of different sizes using forklifts. The use of lumber pallets makes it easier to move heavy stacks in containers. Before being moved to containers, the individual items are stacked on a lumber pallet to create a unit load. This can be moved easily and loaded onto containers using a pallet jack, forklift, crane, or any other material handling equipment. Therefore, the growth in containerization is expected to lead to a higher demand for lumber pallets during the forecast period.

Key Lumber Pallet Market Trend

The emergence of pallet pooling is one of the major trends influencing the lumber pallet market growth. The emergence of pallet pooling services has enabled end-users to rent pallets at nominal rates for their entire supply chains, thus eliminating the need to buy crates. Renting a pallet from a shared pool offers substantial savings and significant returns on investments to end-users. Also, the reverse supply chain for end-users is handled by the pallet pooling companies. For instance, the pallet pooling companies deliver the pallet in the quantities ordered by end-users and deal with those pallets once they reach the end of the supply chain. Some pallet vendors, such as LEAP India, Brambles, Northwest, and others, also provide pallets on a rental basis. For instance, LEAP India offers pallets for rent to end-users in the e-commerce, automotive, dairy, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and other industries. There is a significant rise in the leasing or renting of pallets by end-users. This, in turn, is likely to increase the trend of lumber pallet pooling during the forecast period.

Key Lumber Pallet Market Challenge

Fluctuating lumber prices and shortage of raw materials are one of the major challenges impeding the lumber pallet market growth. Volatility in the prices of lumber is mainly attributed to a reduction in the availability of wood and lumber in many countries, such as Nigeria, Pakistan, Colombia, and Brazil, as a result of widespread deforestation and the decline in the number of new tree plantations. The increasing capacity expansion in lumber processing plants across India, the UK, and Canada, without taking into consideration the need for the sustainable procurement of raw materials, is increasing the disparities between the demand for and supply of lumber. Owing to such factors, end-users, such as pallet manufacturers, are expected to experience a shortage of timber. As a result of the shortage of timber in the market, pallet manufacturers will find it difficult to complete their orders. Thus, the shortage of lumber and wood products is expected to slow down the growth of the global lumber pallet market during the forecast period.
