The Egyptian wood market is experiencing fluctuations in prices for various types of wood, according to reports from Almal News. As of Thursday, September 24, 2026, market participants are closely monitoring price movements and stability. Prices differ significantly based on the quality, specifications, and type of wood. The variation in prices among traders and suppliers makes it essential for potential buyers to compare offerings in the market.
The price of meter-long Romanian oak wood, specifically the "Masandak" type, ranges between 31,000 and 34,000 Egyptian pounds. This type of wood is highly regarded for its quality and durability. In contrast, the price of meter-long Swedish wood, commonly known as "Mouski," is lower, ranging between 18,000 and 20,000 pounds. The difference in prices reflects the distinct characteristics and uses of each type of wood.
In addition to the prices of raw wood, the cost of engineered wood products is also of interest to buyers. For instance, the price of an "Arrow" plywood board, measuring 2.40 x 1.22 meters and 18 millimeters thick, is approximately 1,560 pounds. This type of board is widely used in furniture making and interior decoration due to its versatility and affordability.
The market for flooring materials also shows a range of prices. The Turkish "Baraki" class 32 flooring, for example, costs around 561 pounds per meter. This type of flooring is known for its durability and aesthetic appeal. Similarly, the Turkish "Baraki" class 31 flooring is priced at approximately 548 pounds per meter. These prices reflect the high demand for quality flooring materials in Egypt.
Turkish "Baraki" flooring is a popular choice among consumers due to its balance of affordability and quality. Most Turkish "Baraki" products utilize High-Density Fiberboard (HDF) technology, which provides a durable and long-lasting surface. The use of HDF, combined with protective layers, ensures that the flooring can withstand heavy use and maintain its appearance over time.
Another type of engineered wood product is the "Arrow" plywood, which consists of a core made from natural wood chips covered with layers of natural "Arrow" wood veneer. This construction makes it a premium product for furniture and interior decoration. The quality and appearance of "Arrow" plywood have made it a favorite among manufacturers and consumers alike.
Swedish wood, also known as "Mouski" or pine wood, is a softwood extracted from pine trees grown in Northern Europe and Scandinavian countries like Sweden and Finland. It is one of the most widely used types of wood in Egypt due to its availability and versatility in carpentry and decoration. The wood's natural properties make it suitable for various applications, from furniture making to construction.
