Millwork in the US

Constructing demand

The construction industry will continue to be the main driving force behind industry revenue growth. After a contraction in construction activity over the past two years, this industry is poised to benefit from a recovering construction industry which looks set to return towards more cyclical growth. Pent up demand from first home buyers and more favorable economic conditions are expected to breathe life into the industry. This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing hardwood and softwood cut stock and dimension stock (i.e., shapes); wood windows and wood doors; and other millwork including wood flooring. Dimension stock or cut stock is defined as lumber and worked wood products cut or shaped to specialized sizes. These establishments generally use woodworking machinery, such as jointers, planers, lathes, and routers to shape wood. This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors.
