WHAT TO EXPECT IN 2020 !
EDITORIAL
Pragat Dvivedi, Founder Editor
22
The mid-sized players will be facing another spell of hard work where they have to focus on best quality and right marketing policy. Around 40 such companies from North and Gujrat are there who could be performing well despite of shaky scenario during 2020. The raw material prices e.g timber, chemical, fuel; and taxation will rise up in 2020 so there is only way forward is to work in right manner.
2019 was so uncertain that people are scared to remember. We at Ply Reporter, our colleagues at other magazines SURFACES REPORTER and FURNITURE DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY, never anticipated such a weak year for industry and trade as 2019. Putting all hopes pinned on 2020, there are so many questions floating everywhere. When will demand improve, payment scenario ka kyahoga? Will economy stabiles or continue to remain weak? In fact, the recent past has been so slow that the top industrialists too are hesitant in putting across their thoughts on markets. With GDP growth slowing to 4.5% during July-September quarter for 2019-20, manufacturing activity contracting, private investment drying up and the industry is desperate for improvement in demand and cash flow. 2020 is expected to be very good for few organized players and I have no doubt on it. With right process and systems, brand image, regional plant set up, adequate cash flow and plenty of government spending’s coming up, there is no point uncovered that does not extend advantage to an organized brand. I personally hope big from Century, Green ply, Merino, Greenlam, Action Tesa and Royale Touche. The highway to bigger market capture is clear for organized players like Green Panel, Rushil Décor and Stylam, so 2020 is certainly going to bring decent growth for them. The emerging organized brands like Virgo, Alstone, Austin, Amulya Mica, Airolam etc will also have lot to gain with added capacities and new product categories. The mid-sized players will be facing another spell of hard work where they have to focus on best quality and right marketing policy. Around 40 such companies from North and Gujrat are there who could be performing well despite of shaky scenario during 2020. The raw material prices e.g timber, chemical, fuel; and taxation will rise up in 2020 so there is only way forward is to work in right manner. The producers of calibrated plywood, or balanced planned laminate design brands with right strategy, team and channel partners will have bright 2020. The unorganized segment of plywood and laminate may continue to remain under pressure with not much happening residential real estate front. The PVC board segment will see stability with quality stabilizing around 450 density zone. Overall panel industry will have a growth bound phase this year but for few. There are high expectations from government to offer some stimulus e.g. reduce income tax rates or extend some benefits but what happens and what impact will come up, is not worth guessing. Even the biggest of the market pundits have failed in 2019 so let’s be cautious yet optimistic for 2020 as this is what is the strong characteristic of India’s smart and Jugaad generation. The over all panel industry is expected to do slightly better this year. But growth will come for only those, who have crystal clear road map of action with logicalplan. 2020 could be good for focused, planned player. Year ahead is going to be very sluggish for unorganized and un-informed companies hence, stick to knowledge, stick to right mindset people around who work in tandem with the markets. Avoid too much time on social media and focus on right content of learnings. 2020 is the turning point for entire things we have in surrounding. Let’s pray for a prosperous, peaceful and eventful 2020 for entire trade.

EDGE BAND HAS BIGGER ROLE TO PLAY THAN BEING JUST TAPE
APNI BAAT
Rajiv Parashar, Editor

Retailers must understand the quality and thickness of PVC edge band because if they offer cheaper quality edge band then customers may opt readymade modular furniture in future, that is look-wise elegant because of edge and corners. Retailers should promote high quality edge band for the growth of this product as well their wood panel retail business. Domestic manufacturers should invest money in quality and innovation if this product need stable growth.
India is a big retail market with huge network and structure in place, where small items and ingredients too play a vital role for bigger impacts on entire ready product experience for a customer. Like no matter how beautiful a door is, a small handle or a door closure can create a good or bad experience for the entire door. So important is the story of edge band. India now has around 35 plus PVC Edge band producers who have been able to sell their product with a genuine growth by each passing year. The present growth of PVC Edge band has come on the cost of wood beading and molding. Being a maintenance free, easy to install and easy to find matching with the color of décor paper of laminates and prelaminated boards, edge band tape acceptance has grown pan India. With facility of offering small size rolls e.g up to 25 meters, the retailers have been able to spread this product among carpenters and contractors. Although PVC edge band contributes 2-3 percent input cost for furniture making but it is very important element because it adds beauty in looks of furniture. With time-being it is turning as an important material for furniture that adds to total look, feel, build quality, at final installation. There could be more than 60 brands including imported where two third of share is occupied by White, Off-white, Frosty White etc. Due to which a large part of suppliers have started a price war thus bringing down quality and thickness that is affecting colour match consistency. Experts says that below 0.8 mm thickness is not advisable for quality and build of entire wood work, because lower thicknesses are weak bonded, fragile, gives ugly finish and does not find right base for color. Retailers must understand the quality and thickness of PVC edge band because if they offer cheaper quality edge band then customers may opt readymade modular furniture in future, that is look-wise elegant because of edge and corners. Retailers should promote high quality edge band for the growth of this product as well their wood panel retail business. Domestic manufacturers should invest money in quality and innovation if this product need stable growth. January is the beginning of this year and this issue has been featured ‘7 Predictions of 2020’, which is worth reading for all because you can make your whole year business plan. It will help to make your business to get sustainable move in this tough time.

he tepid growth in demand for panel products is worrisome and pushing out weak manufacturing establishments out of business. Although the month of December, 2019 brought smiles to plywood and laminate producers and traders. According to market reports, lifting and payment both have improved though a little marginally. The organized plywood and laminate brands are working very hard to achieve growth in 3rd quarter of this financial year because the last 6 months have not been favorable for company estimates. To maintain the growth tally in 3rd quarter of FY 19-20, bigger sized plants are trying hard to mop up maximum reach as they realized the ongoing slowdown scenario affecting their numbers.

The mid-sized plywood and laminates companies have reported comparatively positive mood in December month sale. The raw material prices have also been helping the smaller plywood and laminate producers to maintain and float despite of poor market demand. The Block Boards and Doors demand noted a better prospect as supply fell due to winter and slower production in North. The doors industry is also not able to supply properly that created an illusion of demand in north. In southern markets, the door production has been average and in pace with demand. The Film faced plywood lifting got some relief as orders kept pouring from all major states. The government policies have impacted the real estate demand but infrastructure and public service departments are able to offer relief for construction purpose plywood and panel supplies.

The organized companies and brands are yet to declare their 3rd quarter financial results but double digit growth in sales revenues are expected from all product categories players. The month of December also witnessed increased efforts from mid-sized players in plywood because they are feeling pressure on sales and margins both. The softening raw material prices were helping the plywood and laminates companies to recover their profit margins during this period and payment collections were also noted to get better. The stakeholders of wood panel industry and trade were felt comfortable during this period and pray for the same in coming months.

No company can plan for such wide fluctuations in the inputs, which can ruin its
finances. On the other hand, these wide price ranges are of no good for the FARMERS, either, who lose interest in growing the crop when prices have dipped as they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even recover their expenses. He thus stops sowing them which after a few years, causes the price to swing again wildly, this time upwards, due to the paucity of supply and industry suffers as it has to buy at high prices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is important to understand that the timber crop is
