Earlier Report Observations

The market for non-coniferous wood fuel in Paraguay experienced steady growth from 2018 to 2023, with volume increasing from 7 469 thousand m³ to 8 061 thousand m³. This consistent annual rise of approximately 1.5% was underpinned by sustained industrial demand, as wood fuel remained a primary energy source for key sectors. Research in 2022 highlighted that 49.6% of useful energy in Paraguayan industry came from wood, illustrating the sector's reliance on this biomass and driving continuous market expansion.

The Paraguayan Federation of Timber Producers, a leading industry group, continued to shape the market throughout the period, while high demand from ceramic production and other industries maintained pressure on native forests. Although drought and industrial competitiveness uncertainties in 2020 presented challenges, the market's upward trajectory persisted, reflecting wood fuel's entrenched role in the national energy mix without major regulatory shifts.
