Earlier Report Observations
Between 2018 and 2023, the non-coniferous roundwood market in Iraq contracted, with its volume falling from 220.9 thousand m³ to 183.7 thousand m³. This decline was driven entirely by a sharp, multi-year drop in imports, which plummeted from 43.9 thousand m³ to 6.7 thousand m³ over the period. Domestic production remained completely stable at 177.0 thousand m³ each year, indicating no expansion in local supply to offset the reduced imports.
By 2024, imports showed a slight uptick to 8.8 thousand m³ but remained at a fraction of their 2018 level. During these years, Iraq implemented general economic and industrial policy shifts aimed at supporting the domestic industrial sector, including streamlined procedures for establishing industrial projects and legislative amendments to foster industrial development. These broader conditions provided a context for the market's structure, where stable local output met significantly reduced foreign supply.
