Earlier Report Observations

The non-coniferous sawnwood market in Iraq exhibited strong volatility between 2018 and 2023, with consumption reaching a high of nearly 64 000 m³ in 2019 before falling back to around 45 000 m³ by the end of the period. Domestic production remained fixed at 12 000 m³ annually, meaning all changes in market size stemmed from fluctuations in import volumes.

Two distinct downturns shaped the market trajectory. The first occurred in 2020, when consumption dropped by 21% as the COVID-19 pandemic severely curtailed economic activity and construction demand across Iraq. The second happened in 2023, when the market contracted by 24%. This later decline was driven by rising prices for certain wood species and a noticeable shift in consumer preference towards engineered wood alternatives like particleboard and plywood, which reduced demand for conventional sawnwood.
