Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for non-coniferous wood fuel in Mexico gradually declined from 27 022 thousand m³ in 2018 to 26 706 thousand m³ in 2023, with domestic production entirely supplying the market as imports were absent and exports remained minimal. Consumption was historically anchored in rural households where poverty and the physical availability of wood kept it a primary fuel for cooking and heating. However, from 2020 onward, government initiatives to regulate wood moisture content, promote more efficient combustion technologies, and encourage substitute fuels began to influence market dynamics.

Climatic factors, such as precipitation which increases demand for heating wood, and population size, with larger cities offering more alternative energy sources, also shaped regional consumption patterns. Regulatory pressure intensified in 2021 with a focus on pollutant emissions from commercial wood and charcoal use, alongside pushes for greater energy efficiency in domestic stoves. By 2022, increased fuel and transportation costs led to higher wood prices, further affecting affordability and consumption patterns in a market already sensitive to economic conditions.

The market's structure, characterized by significant non-commercial household collection of wood, complicates precise measurement but underscores its deep social and cultural roots in rural communities. Despite the gradual decline, wood fuel remained a vital energy source for many Mexican households throughout the period, influenced by a complex interplay of economic, regulatory, and environmental factors.
