\n

In reviewing 2019, where Europe is grouped as \u201cone region,\u201d the five largest producers are Europe, the U.S., Canada, Russia and China \u2013 together, they represented 86 per cent of global production. The other producing regions are relatively small and include Japan (2.4%) and four plantation-pine countries (7.2%).<\/em><\/p>\n

When grouped by continent, four regions account for 90 per cent of global production: Europe, North America, Asia and Russia.<\/p>\n

Total global softwood lumber production trends in 2019 mirrored the pace of consumption growth \u2013 up 1.0 per cent versus 2018. Russian and the CIS region recorded production gains of 7 per cent in 2019, while Europe achieved an increase of about 2 per cent. However, most other regions (the U.S., Canada, Japan) all recorded small losses due to slower demand.<\/span><\/p>\n

For 2020, global softwood lumber production is forecast to grow by 1.6 per cent.<\/p>\n

An increase in U.S. production could have an influence on worldwide output next year \u2013 especially as a result of new capacity installations in the U.S. South \u2013 but our forecast calls for a modest gain of 1.5 per cent in 2020, then an increase to 2 per cent in 2021.<\/p>\n

Canada\u2019s production will continue to be impacted by U.S. import duties, as well as timber supply reductions and mill closures in B.C., so output is anticipated to rise modestly by less than 1 per cent in each of 2020 and 2021.<\/p>\n

Supply increases in Central Europe due to the spruce bark beetle salvage program will lead to some small hikes in output, but a lack of skilled labour will limit mills\u2019 ability to add shifts. As a result, no significant change is expected in 2020 to European lumber production, while a gain of 1.5 per cent is projected for 2021. Smaller gains are likely in other regions, with only Japan (possibly) recording a small negative result.<\/p>\n

Global lumber exports<\/strong><\/p>\n

Statistically, Europe is the largest lumber-exporting region, although only a third of its exports are shipped outside Europe: the bulk goes to other neighbouring European countries. With Europe grouped as one region, the top three exporting regions \u2013 Europe, Russia and Canada \u2013 represented 88 per cent of global exports in 2018. Following this are Belarus (2.6%), the U.S. (2.2%) and the plantation-pine countries of Chile, Brazil and New Zealand (collectively, 5.7%).<\/p>\n

Global lumber imports<\/strong><\/p>\n

Global imports are also dominated by Europe, but again this includes mainly imported lumber from neighbouring European countries. With Europe grouped as one region, the top three importers \u2013 Europe (32%), China (21%) and the U.S. (21%) \u2013 represented 73 per cent of global softwood lumber imports. The next top six importers are two Asian countries (Japan, 5.0%; and South Korea, 1.5%) and three MENA countries (Egypt, 3.3%; Algeria, 1.8%; and Saudi Arabia, 1.3%), in addition to Uzbekistan (1.8%) and Mexico (1.2%).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
