Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the market for wood in the rough in Oceania showed significant volatility. After starting at 27 300 thousand tons in 2018, market volume contracted to 22 600 thousand tons by 2020. This was followed by a strong rebound, with the market expanding to 32 800 thousand tons in 2022 before easing to 31 200 thousand tons in 2023.

The recovery in market volume from 2021 onward occurred alongside a sharp decline in export volumes, which fell from 29 100 thousand tons in 2020 to 18 000 thousand tons in 2022. Domestic production gradually decreased over the same period, while import levels remained negligible and did not significantly influence overall supply.

By 2023, the market stabilized below its previous peak, with the volume settling at 31 200 thousand tons. The overall period was characterized by a shift in trade flows, with lower exports contributing to greater domestic availability of wood in the rough.
