Earlier Report Observations

The wood charcoal market in Jordan expanded from 71 027 t in 2018 to 95 018 t in 2020, fueled by a surge in imports. This growth coincided with a global boom in charcoal trade, where international imports and exports rose by 23-24% in 2018, reflecting heightened worldwide demand. Domestic production also increased steadily, contributing to the market's overall volume.

After peaking in 2020, market size stabilized at 95 458 t in 2021 and saw a modest dip to 91 284 t in 2022. It then climbed to 97 207 t in 2023, a year when leading companies like Royal Oak Company introduced sustainable packaging initiatives. This move responded to growing consumer preference for environmentally responsible charcoal products, supporting renewed market growth.

In 2024, wood charcoal imports into Jordan fell to 37 102 t, aligning with a broader global contraction. Worldwide charcoal consumption declined by 0.9% after seven years of growth, and international trade flows tightened, with exports dropping by over 20%. These adjustments reflected changing dynamics in the global charcoal market.
