Earlier Report Observations

The market for non-coniferous wood fuel in Eastern Asia experienced a gradual contraction from 2018 to 2020, with its volume declining from 143.0 million m³ to 139.2 million m³.

A recovery phase followed in 2021 and 2022, lifting the market to 146.3 million m³. This expansion took place amid a reported slow decline in global forest area, which pressured overall log supply stability, though supply for non-coniferous wood remained relatively steady. In 2022, a slight dip in worldwide pulpwood log production further constrained supply, yet market volume was sustained by a concurrent rise in imports.

Consumption retracted to 140.1 million m³ in 2023. A significant market development occurred in 2024 with the Dalian Commodity Exchange listing log futures and options contracts, introducing new financial instruments for price discovery in the timber sector.
