Japan\u2019s softwood lumber imports fell to 2.309 million m\u00b3 in January\u2013September 2026, down 19.3% from a year earlier. The reduction removed almost 552,000 m\u00b3 from the market, with lower purchases from Finland, Sweden, Canada and Russia accounting for most of the decline.<\/p>\n

European suppliers retained the largest share of the market, but shipments from the EU fell 19.0% to 1.311 million m\u00b3. September was weaker still: Japan imported 224,907 m\u00b3 of softwood lumber, down 32.2% year on year, while EU deliveries dropped 32.3% to 126,253 m\u00b3.<\/p>\n

The contraction has become more pronounced during the year. Softwood lumber imports were down just 2.0% in January\u2013March, but the shortfall widened to 13.7% in January\u2013May, 15.7% in January\u2013July and 19.3% after nine months. EU deliveries moved from 1.9% growth in the first quarter to a 19.0% decline by September.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

September arrivals were also 7.4% below August. EU shipments fell 4.1% month on month, following a brief improvement in June that was not sustained through the third quarter. The nine-month figures therefore conceal a sharper deterioration in recent shipments.<\/p>\n

Japan\u2019s January\u2013September softwood lumber imports are now the lowest in the 2020\u20132026 comparison. Volumes were 40.3% below the corresponding period of 2022 and 23.6% below 2024. EU deliveries were 36.8% below 2022, although still 7.1% above the depressed 2023 level.<\/p>\n

The EU supplied 56.8% of Japan\u2019s softwood lumber imports, slightly above 56.6% a year earlier. Its shipments fell by 307,225 m\u00b3, accounting for 55.7% of the overall market contraction. European producers have therefore largely maintained their collective position while selling into a smaller market.<\/p>\n

Finland remained Japan\u2019s largest individual supplier, with 492,842 m\u00b3, down 17.6%. Sweden delivered 488,387 m\u00b3, down 18.3%. Together, the two Nordic countries supplied 42.5% of Japan\u2019s softwood lumber imports and 74.9% of EU shipments. Their September declines were considerably steeper: Finnish deliveries fell 34.3% to 50,485 m\u00b3 and Swedish deliveries dropped 36.4% to 38,900 m\u00b3.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Performance elsewhere in Europe varied considerably. Austria shipped 105,353 m\u00b3, down 14.4%, while Germany\u2019s deliveries fell 38.0% to 56,258 m\u00b3. Latvia lost 20.3%, Estonia 37.4% and Czechia 56.1%. Romania moved in the opposite direction over the nine months, increasing shipments by 5.5% to 73,161 m\u00b3, although its September volume was down 9.1% year on year.<\/p>\n

Canada remained close to the two Nordic leaders, supplying 488,989 m\u00b3, down 13.7%. Its share increased to 21.2%, from 19.8% a year earlier. Russian shipments fell 24.1% to 342,296 m\u00b3, reducing their share to 14.8%. Chile delivered 91,003 m\u00b3, down 19.1%, and New Zealand supplied 27,748 m\u00b3, down 4.4%. US softwood lumber deliveries fell 57.8% to 17,335 m\u00b3.<\/p>\n

Import expenditure declined less than volume. Japan spent \u00a5133.68 billion on softwood lumber in January\u2013September, down 16.6%, while the average import value rose 3.3% to \u00a557,905\/m\u00b3. For EU material, expenditure fell 13.6% to \u00a572.47 billion, but the average increased 6.7% to \u00a555,293\/m\u00b3. These averages combine different species, dimensions and processing levels; they are not uniform-grade price quotations.<\/p>\n

Glulam imports also weakened, but Finland\u2019s performance differed sharply from that of Austria and Romania. Total Japanese glulam arrivals fell 11.1% to 434,390 m\u00b3, while EU deliveries decreased 15.8% to 315,886 m\u00b3. Finnish shipments slipped just 3.3% to 166,632 m\u00b3, compared with declines of 33.6% for Austria, to 41,464 m\u00b3, and 41.3% for Romania, to 23,478 m\u00b3.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Japan\u2019s expenditure on glulam fell only 1.6% to \u00a535.70 billion (\u20ac198.3 million), as the average import value increased 10.7%. The value of EU shipments declined 6.5% to \u00a524.34 billion (\u20ac135.2 million). Finland\u2019s shipment value nevertheless rose 6.3% to \u00a512.90 billion (\u20ac71.7 million), despite its modest volume decline.<\/p>\n

Structural glulam is included in all glulam. Named EU countries are included in the EU total.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Structural glulam accounted for 349,191 m\u00b3, down 14.4%. The EU supplied 308,069 m\u00b3 and retained 88.2% of this segment. Finland alone delivered 166,382 m\u00b3, or 47.6% of the total. Chinese structural glulam shipments rose 20.9% to 30,373 m\u00b3. Romania\u2019s gains in softwood lumber therefore coexisted with a substantial loss of business in engineered timber.<\/p>\n

September average import values were softer for several major softwood lumber origins. EU material averaged \u00a554,999\/m\u00b3 (\u20ac305.47), down 1.3% year on year, compared with \u00a561,975\/m\u00b3 (\u20ac344.22) for Canada, down 8.5%, and \u00a559,161\/m\u00b3 (\u20ac328.59) for Russia, up 0.7%. The average across all softwood lumber imports was \u00a558,421\/m\u00b3 (\u20ac324.48), down 0.9%.<\/p>\n

Structural glulam moved differently: its September average import value increased 4.1% to \u00a575,730\/m\u00b3 (\u20ac420.62). Plywood averaged \u00a589,059\/m\u00b3 (\u20ac494.65), up 14.1%. Higher average values in these categories did not prevent lower September import volumes, with structural glulam down 32.1% and plywood down 11.6%.<\/p>\n

Housing data provide a mixed demand picture. According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Japan recorded 556,052 housing starts in January\u2013September, up 1.6%. September starts nevertheless fell 2.7% to 61,826. The seasonally adjusted annual rate dropped 5.2% from August to 714,000 units, its third consecutive monthly decline. www.mlit.go.jp<\/p>\n

The modest year-to-date increase in housing starts has not translated into higher softwood lumber imports. Import arrivals and building starts measure different stages of activity, and the trade figures alone cannot separate the effects of purchasing schedules, inventories and changes in material sourcing.<\/p>\n

The larger wood import bill should also be treated separately. Japan\u2019s imports under HS chapter 44 increased 4.8% to \u00a51.1732 trillion (\u20ac6.52 billion) in January\u2013September, while imports from the EU fell 8.8% to \u00a5120.57 billion (\u20ac669.7 million). That wider category includes products with different uses and supply chains, so its growth does not establish a recovery in imported construction timber.<\/p>\n

European sawmills enter the final quarter with the EU still supplying more than half of Japan\u2019s imported softwood lumber, but with considerably fewer cubic metres reaching the market. Finland and Sweden remain central suppliers, while Romania\u2019s cumulative growth is an exception within a largely declining European trade.<\/p>\n
