Earlier Report Observations
The wood fuel market in Oman expanded from 76 326 m³ in 2018 to a peak of 95 298 m³ in 2022, driven by steady annual growth in domestic production, which reached 55 362 m³ by 2023. Imports showed significant volatility, peaking at 42 665 m³ in 2022, while exports fell sharply from 6 920 m³ to just over 1 300 m³ after 2018. This combination resulted in a 14% market contraction to 81 558 m³ in 2023 as imports dropped back to 27 530 m³.
In 2024, wood fuel imports rebounded to 33 785 m³ with exports falling to a minimal 315 m³. This shift aligned with broader economic trends, including a reported 3.2% growth in Oman's agricultural and fishing sector and continued government policy focusing on energy source diversification away from fossil fuels, factors which can influence demand for traditional biomass fuels like wood.
