Globalization can be expressed as an international integration process that results in the development of economic, political, and social relations of countries as a result of the rapid development in areas such as technology, communication, and transportation. The forest products sector also took its share from this process and the wood-based panel production balances changed. Within the scope of this study, the change process of wood-based panel production and foreign trade, which has reached a significant production volume in the economies of countries that have gone through the globalization process, has been examined. For this purpose, ten countries (China, United States of America, Russia, Germany, Canada, India, Brazil, Poland, Turkey, Thailand) with the highest wood-based panel production amount as of 2020 on the world scale were determined. The total production and foreign trade values of these countries for the last 25 years and the production and foreign trade values of plywood, particleboard, OSB, and MDF/HDF, which are defined as wood-based panels, were evaluated separately. When the results are examined, it has been determined that Turkey ranks ninth in the world in terms of production amount as of 2020, and the highest production is made by China. It has been observed that the amount of production and export at the level of countries has increased over the years.
