Earlier Report Observations

The coniferous roundwood market in Ireland exhibited significant volatility between 2018 and 2023. Starting at 4.4 million cubic meters in 2018, market volume dipped to 4.2 million in 2019 before rising sharply to a peak of 5.5 million in 2021.

This growth was abruptly reversed in 2022 when the market contracted by over 40% to approximately 3.1 million cubic meters. A strong recovery followed in 2023, with volume rebounding to 4.2 million cubic meters, returning to the level seen earlier in the period.

Domestic production remained relatively stable throughout these years, while considerable year-to-year swings in import and export volumes were the primary drivers behind the market's overall size fluctuations.
