Earlier Report Observations

Yemen's wood charcoal market volume showed a gradual upward trend from 2018 to 2021, rising from 25 000 t to 26 459 t. This growth was entirely supported by increasing imports, as domestic production remained stable at 25 000 t annually.

Beginning in late 2022, a halt to Yemen's oil exports and rising global fuel prices triggered a domestic energy crisis. This shifted consumer behavior toward wood charcoal for heating and cooking, boosting demand. The market volume consequently increased further, reaching 26 866 t in 2022 and 27 054 t in 2023, with imports continuing to supply the additional consumption.
