It is a well-known truth that the Indian plywood trade had a particular fondness for Gurjan face veneers, which led to the introduction of a similar kind of face veneers originating in Indonesia. In the previous year, many people utilised Indonesia face veneer, but the quality of Indonesian face did not compare favourably to that of best quality gurjan face veneer. Now, approximately seventy-five percent of plywood, board, and door makers have switched to Non-Gurjan face veneers, which appear to have been finally taken over by two species: PQ from Guyana and Okume from Gabon. As a result of this piece of news, the plywood industry is prepared to make use of okume face veneer as its preferred option during the fiscal year 2018–2019. Ply Reporter is of the opinion that by the next year, Gurjan face veneer will have just a ten percent market share,
There are only a few different varieties of face veneers used in the plywood business at the moment, such as PQ, Okume, Recon, and Makai, but PQ and Okume are quickly becoming the only contenders that are left. Despite the fact that business has been making use of these many alternatives for some time now, the choice of Gurjan has never been overlooked. Industry is getting ready to undertake a total PQ and Okume switch from Gurjan as a result of the fact that each new auction is selling items at greater prices and offering less quantities. PQ, Okume, and Recon are the only sustainable solutions for face veneer needs in India, according to timber suppliers based outside of the country.
