Prices for MDF in the U.S. continue to shoot up amid a shortage of the product and the high demand from the furniture industry.

Strong demand for the product has led to a spike in imports to the U.S.. High prices for MDF negatively affect furniture sales, which have been decreasing in recent months due to a slowdown in the construction boom noted at the first half of the year.
