The average cost of plywood varies widely depending on the type, grade, thickness, and region where it’s purchased. Plywood is typically sold in standard sheets (e.g., 4 × 8 ft / 1220 × 2440 mm) and prices are influenced by material quality, glue type, and intended use.
Standard construction plywood (basic grades): about $6 – $40 per 4×8 sheet.
Mid‑grade or moisture‑resistant plywood: often $15 – $50 per sheet. Premium, cabinet or marine plywood: typically $40 – $90+ per sheet.
In many regions, basic plywood sheets start in the $10 to $50 range for common thicknesses, while higher‑performance panels such as marine or hardwood plywood can cost significantly more.
Thickness
Thicker plywood sheets require more material and generally cost more; e.g., 18 mm panels are usually pricier than 6 mm ones.
Grade & Treatment
MR (Moisture Resistant): cheaper, indoor use.
BWR (Boiling Water Resistant): mid‑range, for kitchens/bathrooms.
BWP/Marine Grade: most expensive, for wet environments.
Region & Market
Prices depend heavily on local supply chains and demand—North American prices might be higher than those in Asia, for example.
United States & Europe
Standard plywood may average roughly $15 – $55 per 4×8 panel for general construction grades.
