For example, the costs for 2x4 framing pine lumber inthe US South averaged almost $800\/m3\u00a0in May, up from $210\/m3\u00a0as recent as February 2020 and nearly four times as much as the 20-year average price for southern yellow pine.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The costs for sawlogs, typically accounting for 60-70% of the production costs when manufacturing lumber, have seen only relatively small adjustments throughout the first half of 2021 in the key lumber-producing regions of North America. The favorable lumber price\/sawlog cost ratio has resulted in record-high profits for lumber companies across the continent.<\/p>\n<p>Canadian lumber prices have spiked similarly to US prices, with record highs in May followed by sharp declines during June through August. Canada and the US reduced lumber exports overseas in the first half of 2021 due to the strong US lumber market. The most significant decline came in North American shipments headed to China, which fell from over 1.9 million m3\u00a0in the 1H\/20 to only 820,000 m3\u00a0in the 1H\/21.<\/p>\n<p>Two of the four largest lumber exporters in Europe, Sweden, and Germany increased their shipments substantially during the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. \u00a0The significant rise in exports from Sweden and Germany was in sales to the US. Both countries have benefited from not only larger export volumes but also substantially higher lumber prices. In May 2021, average export prices for Sweden and Germany were up 83% and 93% from May 2020, respectively. The most significant changes in trade by the major European lumberexporters in 2021 have been increases in intra-continental sales and a decline in shipments to China, the US, and the MENA region.<\/p>\n<p>Softwood\u00a0lumber\u00a0imports to China fell by 24% y-o-y in the first half of 2021. Although importation rose in the 2Q,the 1H\/21 import volume\u00a0has been\u00a0the lowest\u00a0first half\u00a0in six years. It is interesting to note that China's consumption of foreign softwood lumber as a percentage of the total usage of both lumber and logs was at its lowest level in over ten years. China\u2019s supply from all countries except Ukraine has declined from 2020, with the most significant reductions having been in imports from the US and Sweden. In contrast, importation to China from Chile and Russia has been relatively less impacted.<\/p>\n<p>The costs for lumber in China have sky-rocketed this year, reaching their highest levels on record. Canadian lumber prices have gone up the most as they have been heavily impacted by the alternative market in the US. From late 2020 to July 2021, Chinese import prices for lumber from British Columbia were up about 60% during this period.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US lumber prices reached unprecedented highs in the 2Q\/21.
