U.S. Wood Cabinet Industry Continues Evolving

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--U.S. cabinet manufacturers reported $6.8 billion in sales for 2016, marking growth of 4.3% over 2015, according to the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association.

Adapting to changing styles, markets and technologies continues to change the kitchen cabinet manufacturing industry. For example, customized drawer boxes, pull-out trays, storage racks and improved access solutions have dramatically changed kitchen cabinets from simple boxes to specialized storage areas. Computerized, numerically controlled routers have allowed manufacturers to produce highly complex parts in minutes instead of hours or days. Industrial Info is tracking $39 million in wood kitchen cabinetry projects in the U.S.
