Robust Demand for Wood Pulp and Construction Materials Buoys the Global Roundwood Market

IndexBox has just published a new report: 'World - Industrial Roundwood - Market Analysis, Forecast, Size, Trends and Insights. Here is a summary of the report's key findings.

The global industrial roundwood market is estimated at a huge figure of approximately $312B, which equals 2B cubic meters. In 2020, despite a slowdown in the market growth due to the pandemic, the roundwood market was buoyed by robust global demand from the packaging and construction industries. The increase in online sales due to the pandemic has boosted the market for cardboard packaging and wooden pallets for shipping. In 2021, the decline in mortgage lending rates spurred the U.S. real estate market to record growth. Given the social isolation and working from home, the construction of new suburban single-family dwellings posts solid gains, leading to an increase in demand for lumber and wood-based panels and those used in furniture manufacturing. Similar trends are more or less relevant for many countries in the world.

Driven by increasing demand for industrial roundwood worldwide, the market is expected to continue an upward consumption trend over the next decade. Market performance is forecast to retain its current trend pattern, expanding with an anticipated CAGR of +1.5% for the period from 2019 to 2030, projected to bring the market volume to 2.4B cubic meters by the end of 2030.

Despite the strong performance of the downstream industries against the pandemic, the roundwood industry faced pandemic-related and environmental challenges. In 2020, in addition to supply chain disruptions and reduced working hours for timber industry workers, wildfires had destroyed large areas of Australian and American forests. The European industry continued to suffer from beetle infestations which damage the roundwood harvests.

Increasingly, there are speculations that the rise in wildfires and beetle epidemic is caused by climate change and inappropriate forestry management in the past. If the impact of climate change will be confirmed, the consequences of global warming could seriously threaten the industry with a decline in the raw material base in the long term.

Sustainability at all stages of the value chain is becoming a key long-term market trend. Agreements to reduce greenhouse gas emissions such as The European Green Deal, the Paris Climate Agreement and The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (concerning the environment chapter) should promote the development of a market for biodegradable and wood-based packaging. The European Council is developing a new forestry strategy with a key goal of ensuring sustainability due to effective afforestation, forest preservation and restoration in the EU.

Announced Limitations on Roundwood Exports from Russia to Shift Supply Chains on the Asian Market

A shift in the global roundwood market may appear after the announced possible ban on the export of coniferous logs and valuable hardwood logs in Russia in 2022. The Russian government is purposefully planning to reduce the export volume of unprocessed timber and export more value-added products. First of all, the consequences should affect China, which should be able to look for new suppliers of softwood. This could lead to increased competition between Oceania, Europe, and America in the global sawlog market. In the medium term, the replacement of roundwood with sawn timber from Russia may become another option for Chinese importers.

Global industrial roundwood exports amounted to 224M cubic meters in 2019. In value terms, industrial roundwood exports declined slightly to $16.2B (IndexBox estimates). New Zealand (42M cubic meters) and Russia (29M cubic meters) were the key exporters of industrial roundwood in 2019, resulting in near 19% and 13% of total exports, respectively. They were distantly followed by the Czech Republic (19M cubic meters), Germany (15M cubic meters), the U.S. (14M cubic meters), and Uruguay (12M cubic meters), together achieving a 27% share of total exports. In value terms, New Zealand ($2.2B), the U.S. ($1.7B), and Russia ($1.4B) appeared to be the countries with the highest levels of exports in 2019, with a combined 33% share of global exports.
