Navigating in uncertain times
Market outlook 2023-25
Global markets for softwood lumber are entering a new phase in 2023-25, with weaker demand and pricing in most regions, after almost a decade of growth. Supply is also evolving with reductions in two key export regions, Canada BC and Central Europe, trade restrictions imposed on Russia, and strong capacity growth in the US South. Sawmill owners globally will face several challenges, in demand, prices and costs.
In this 110-page study by O’Kelly Acumen and Timber Exchange, we take stock of latest changes in softwood lumber markets, globally and with four regional deep dives (US, China, EU and MENA), and recommend several steps the sawmill industry can take to help meet these challenges.
