Earlier Report Observations

The market for non-coniferous wood fuel in Kuwait showed consistent growth from 2018 to 2023, expanding from 20 710 m³ to 28 663 m³, an increase of 38%. This upward trend was marked by particularly strong growth in 2021 and 2022, where the market volume rose by 8.5% and 14.3% respectively.

A key feature of this period was the dramatic surge in imports, which grew from 263 m³ in 2018 to 7 115 m³ in 2023. This rise in imports became the primary driver of market expansion, while domestic production increased at a more moderate pace from 20 447 m³ to 21 552 m³ over the same years.

By 2023, the market structure had shifted significantly, with imports accounting for a quarter of the total supply. The steady climb in consumption volumes reflects a growing demand for non-coniferous wood fuel in Kuwait during this six-year span.
