Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2023, the U.S. fuel wood chips and particles market volume fluctuated, reaching a peak of 29 672 thousand tons in 2022. This 18% increase from the previous year was primarily driven by a surge in domestic production, which grew by 18% to 33 800 thousand tons.

Earlier in the period, market volume dipped by 4% in 2020 to 25 741 thousand tons as U.S. consumption declined. This coincided with global supply chain disruptions and bunker fuel price volatility, which affected landed costs and market activity. Export volumes had peaked in 2018 at 4 232 thousand tons, underscoring the sector's trade orientation.

In 2023, the market volume fell sharply by 42% to 17 199 thousand tons, with production dropping to 21 617 thousand tons.
