Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for non-coniferous sawnwood in Nigeria remained remarkably stable from 2018 to 2023, consistently around 2 million cubic meters each year. Domestic production was the dominant and steady source of supply, while imports and exports were minimal and had little impact on the overall market size.

A notable change occurred in 2024 as imports rose sharply to 21,000 cubic meters. This increase aligns with a significant long-term reduction in domestic raw material availability, as vegetation cover has declined by 63% since 2010. Concurrently, the market saw substantial reinvestment by a major local producer, UniWood, which committed over $10 million to strengthen local production and supply chains.
