Surging Demand Behind Rise in U.S. Lumber Imports, Sawmill Industry Optimistic for Future Growth
The U.S. sawmill industry has experienced significant growth in recent years, fueled in part by a surge in product imports.

Despite concerns about the impact of rising imports on domestic sawmill industries, many industry leaders remain optimistic about the future of the U.S. lumber market. With strong demand for construction materials, and a growing awareness of the benefits of sustainable forestry practices, the U.S. sawmill industry is poised for continued growth and success in the years to come.
