Historical demand and production data for U.S. and Canadian engineered wood products are contained in the Structural Panels and Engineered Wood Yearbook—2007 released recently by APA – The Engineered Wood Association.

The handy reference tool includes data up through 2006, with estimates for 2007. In some cases, the historical data go back as far as 1990.
