After years of development, the markets are transitioning to a new phase between 2023-2025 with low demand and pricing in most areas. Reduced harvest cuts in BC and Central Europe, Russia's trade barriers, and improved capacity in the US South are contributing to this shift.

  • Global sawmill owners/operators
  • Lumber buyers in the construction, packaging, and furniture manufacturing industries
  • Traders and wholesalers
  • Forest owners
  • Global investors
  • Pulp, panel, and pellet industries that are utilizing sawmill residues
  • Suppliers of sawmill equipment and technology
  • Analysts, consultants, financial institutions, and industry associations

 

In this 110-page study by O’Kelly Acumen and Timber Exchange, you will find the historical volatility of softwood lumber demand, supply, and pricing divided by key regions during 2000-2022, the current state of the market, and the impact it might have in the coming 2/3 years (2023-2025).
