Earlier Report Observations

The wood fuel market in Algeria gradually increased from 8 688 thousand m³ in 2018 to 8 952 thousand m³ in 2023. This growth was partly driven by the liberalization of fossil fuel prices, which made wood a more affordable energy source for rural populations. Simultaneously, the national reforestation plan with a budget of 116 billion dinars, launched in 2018, began to strengthen local forest resources, supporting wood fuel production.

Despite persistent shortages of local raw materials and damage from forest fires, the market continued to expand. The government's program to build over one million housing units, announced in 2020, created additional demand for wood for heating in new homes. By 2023, a significant surge in wood imports – up 48% at the port of Béjaïa – reflected growing reliance on foreign supplies to meet domestic consumption, with local production covering only 30% of national needs.

By 2024, the market saw rapid development of the wood pellet segment linked to the energy transition, although it faced price volatility. Concurrently, state subsidies for solar panels in agriculture could indirectly affect energy consumption, but for the 2018-2023 period, steady market volume growth remained a hallmark.
