Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for non-coniferous wood fuel in Laos displayed significant fluctuations from 2018 to 2023. It grew from 5 984 thousand m³ in 2018 to a peak of 6 900 thousand m³ in 2020, then contracted sharply to 5 966 thousand m³ the following year. A powerful rebound followed in 2022, lifting the market to 7 878 thousand m³, before a moderate correction to 7 380 thousand m³ in 2023.

These swings were largely attributable to volatile import volumes, which ranged from a low of 308 thousand m³ in 2021 to a high of 2 256 thousand m³ in 2022. Over the same period, domestic production saw a steady, gradual decline from 5 770 thousand m³ to 5 586 thousand m³, meaning changes in import levels were the primary driver of overall market size movements.
