Earlier Report Observations

The market for coniferous wood fuel in North Macedonia experienced significant growth between 2018 and 2021, with its total volume expanding from 34 392 m³ to 65 281 m³. This period of consistent year-on-year increase was followed by a market contraction in 2022, when the volume fell to 55 734 m³. A partial recovery then occurred in 2023, with the market reaching 60 960 m³.

A key event influencing the market was the 2022 energy crisis, intensified by the war in Ukraine and sanctions against Russia, which created substantial uncertainty in fuel supply and pricing. This disruption led to a sharp decline in imports of coniferous wood fuel, explaining the overall market contraction that year despite continued growth in domestic production, which rose from 49 000 m³ to 54 000 m³.

Throughout the entire 2018-2023 period, domestic production capacity strengthened considerably. Output more than doubled, rising from 21 000 m³ to 56 000 m³, indicating a robust expansion of the local industry that supported the market's underlying supply.
