Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the coniferous wood fuel market in Lebanon experienced a roller-coaster trajectory. An initial increase in volume gave way to a substantial drop in 2020, followed by a short-lived recovery and another decline in 2022. The period culminated in a dramatic surge that lifted the market to nearly 5 000 m³ in 2023.

A key contextual element was Lebanon's strong export growth for coniferous wood in the rough, which saw a compound annual growth rate of +45.2% over the 2013-2024 span. This export orientation manifested in the coniferous wood fuel segment when 251 m³ were shipped abroad in 2020, directly reducing the volume available on the domestic market and amplifying that year's contraction. Broader regional consumption of coniferous wood also exhibited volatility, adding to the market's instability.

By 2024, Lebanon's exports of coniferous wood in the rough had entered a phase of moderation, even as the country retained a commanding 65% share of Middle Eastern exports in this category. While complete market volume figures for 2024 are not available, the preceding years underscore a market whose dynamics are closely tied to external trade flows and regional demand patterns.
