Many countries are promoting wooden buildings for climate reasons. Sawmills are at limit, struggling to get logs and can not expand easily due to a lack of staff and other reasons. All of that has led to historical price increases.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Some industry insiders mention a doubling since December with April prices have already at 760 \u20ac\/m3. The price index for lumber to be used in the pallet and wood\u00a0<span id=\"more-26285\"><\/span>packaging industry rose sharply in May by 16% compared to April \u2013 and by 87% year on year. Also contracts are valid only for about 24 hours in June. No one sees a market relaxation before the end of this year, however from 2022 there are expectations of a longer price stabilization at a high level.<\/p>\n<p>Hardwood lumber is also still at high demand \u2013 especially oak for construction and flooring \u2013 and due to higher prices for the logs also the lumber prices increased slowly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No market soothing expected in the construction sector until Autumn<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For construction wood and panels there are also much higher prices payed in June. For the pallet industry plywood prices rose by 17% and OSB by 32% compared to April. OSB doubled compared to May 2020 and is also not availible for new contracts until December 2021. The same occurs with CLT.<\/p>\n<p>Structural solid timber (KVH) costs 500 to 800\u2009\u20ac\/m3, if available at all, glulam had reached 660 \u20ac\/m3 allready in April. The Austrian wood construction industry in general mentions construction wood prices four times higher than in January and expects a further price increase until autumn and then maybe maintaining the level, but no downward trend.<\/p>\n<p>The German furniture industry, packaging and pallet industry face scarcities in raw materials like timber and panels<\/p>\n<p><strong>Log prices finally slightly on the rise<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The log prices in the DACH region are finally joining the lumber rising trend. This is also due to the low availability at the moment because the beetles are 4 weeks late which leeds \u2013 combined with logging restriction in Germany for healthy spruce (85% allowed for this year compared to previous) \u2013 to less harvesting activity for at least a few more weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Beetle wood costs around 90\u20ac\/m3 in June. Other qualities have passed the 100\u20ac\/m3 mark in June in Austria finally. Spruce prices up to 120 \u20ac\/m3 are possible.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Within the DACH region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) softwood lumber prices in June are still on the rise due to the high demand in China and USA but also within Europe for construction.
