A recently published article explores US market developments that affect hardwood demand. Some industrial markets, such as pallets, packaging and railway ties, concern only temperate hardwoods, but most trends apply to tropical species as well.<\/em><\/p>\n

Up until the housing market crash in 2007\/2008, residential construction had become an increasingly important market for hardwoods in the US. Hardwood use in domestic furniture manufacturing steadily declined as furniture imports captured an increasing share in the US market. About one third of all sawn hardwood was used in housing before the financial crisis.<\/p>\n

Not only did the housing market crash and recession reduce demand for hardwoods, but per capita sawn hardwood consumption decreased due to increasing imports of finished products. US sawn hardwood consumption fell from 104 cu.m. per person in 1995 to 49 cu.m. in 2013.<\/p>\n

Housing construction, renovation and remodeling, and furniture manufacturing accounted for 36% of US sawn hardwood consumption in 2014, down from 50% in 2002.<\/p>\n

While wood demand in construction will increase again as the recovery in housing starts continues, the report authors expect the types of hardwood products to change.<\/p>\n

New hardwood products for US housing and construction markets include thermally-modified wood and crosslaminated timber (CLT).<\/p>\n

Thermally-modified temperate hardwoods and softwoods have ideal properties for siding, decking, flooring, millwork and other applications that are also typical end uses for tropical hardwoods. Much of the US production of thermally-modified wood is currently exported to Europe, but domestic demand could grow when builders and homeowners become more aware of the products.<\/p>\n

CLT panels are a fast growing product for structural use in larger and taller wood buildings, including non-residential construction. CLT is primarily manufactured from softwoods, but it can also be made from hardwoods. The US is at the forefront of research and production of hardwood CLT. Yellow poplar is the primary species used for hardwood CLT at this time.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
