Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2023, coniferous roundwood production in Southern Asia stabilized at approximately 14 000 thousand m³, with minimal annual variation. This stability was supported by the presence of over 1,900 plywood and veneer manufacturing units across several Indian states, which sustained demand for roundwood, and by government policies promoting wood production from Trees Outside Forests (TOF) to enhance timber supply.

The market size for coniferous roundwood gradually declined from 14 049 thousand m³ in 2020 to 13 965 thousand m³ in 2023. Construction sector challenges, including high interest rates, dampened demand for wood in housing. Export volumes fluctuated during this period, influenced by regulatory changes under CITES that set quotas for specific wood types like agarwood and eased rules for others such as rosewood.
