Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for non-coniferous wood fuel in the Philippines gradually declined from 11.5 million m³ in 2018 to 11.0 million m³ by 2023. This reduction unfolded while wood fuel remained a primary cooking energy source for a significant portion of households, particularly in rural areas, highlighting a persistent base demand.

During the period, the broader wood sector saw a projected 50% surge in timber imports for construction in 2021, which may have diverted forestry resources. Regulatory frameworks like the DENR Administrative Order on imported wood disposition formalized market access procedures. Global supply chain disruptions and fluctuating energy prices in 2022 added external pressure to the fuel market dynamics.

Industry associations actively participated in policy discussions on sustainability, reflecting the sector's adaptation efforts. While international projections indicated long-term growth for processed wood consumption, the local wood fuel market continued its steady contraction in volume.
