Based on the EC mandates and incentives, demand is expected to expand further to about 30 mmt in 2019. Future consumption will significantly depend on a range of market factors and incentives and conditions.<\/p>\n<p>EU demand for pellets has significantly outpaced domestic production for the past ten years.<\/p>\n<p>This has resulted in increased imports from the United States. In 2018, U.S. exports to the EU totaled 6.1 mmt, representing a value of $1,160 million. If EU demand and trade flows remain consistent with current patterns, the United States has the potential to supply 65 percent of the import demand, which would represent a trade value of potentially US$1.6 billion in 2020. Other significant exporters of pellets to the EU are Canada and Russia.<\/p>\n<p>In response to the EU demand for industrial pellets, capacity has expanded in the supplying regions.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/timberindustrynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/EUpellet2-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20506 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/timberindustrynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/EUpellet2-3-300x192.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 244px) 100vw, 244px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/timberindustrynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/EUpellet2-3-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/timberindustrynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/EUpellet2-3.jpg 522w\" alt=\"\" width=\"244\" height=\"156\" \/><\/a>These third country imports could, however, be affected by the implementation of sustainability requirements from the individual EU Member State governments. Due to their location at seaports and limited domestic production, the large power utilities in the United Kingdom and Belgium are sourcing over 75 percent of their pellet demand from non-EU suppliers.<\/p>\n<p>Despite their significant domestic production, the Scandinavian countries, mainly Denmark and Sweden, partly depend on imports from the Baltic Region and Russia. The port restrictions in Scandinavia are favoring the Baltic Sea supply, which generally ship with smaller vessels than used in the Atlantic trade.<\/p>\n<p>In Denmark, one plant is located at a deep seaport and is supplied from North America. Improved flexibility in infrastructure is expected to further increase sourcing from North America. The pellet markets in Germany, Austria and to a lesser extent France and Italy are more isolated and depend mostly on local production.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The US has the potential to supply 65 percent of the EU wood pellet import demand, at an expected trade value of US$ 1.6 billion in 2020.
