Earlier Report Observations

The Norwegian coniferous roundwood market volume fluctuated between 2018 and 2023, starting at 8.2 million m³ in 2018. A significant contraction occurred in 2020, pulling the market down to 7.4 million m³, before a strong recovery to 8.4 million m³ the following year. The market then stabilized in the 8.1–8.3 million m³ range through 2023.

Market conditions in 2023 were influenced by a 19% rise in the use of subsidized raw materials, which enhanced cost-competitiveness and likely supported production growth to 12.1 million m³. Furthermore, drought and flood events during the year impacted forage quality, introducing volatility in agricultural supply chains that indirectly affect forestry operations.
