September was a month of contrasts across the global wood industry. Sawmill closures and production cuts continued in several markets, while new investments and capacity expansions moved ahead elsewhere. Raw-material costs remained a major concern, construction demand stayed weak across much of Europe and North America, and trade flows continued to shift.<\/p>\n

GWMI readership reflected that larger picture. The most-read stories were spread across several areas of coverage, from forecasts and market analysis to prices, trade, sawmill restructuring, investment and changing demand conditions in Europe and North America.<\/p>\n
