Seven months into 2021 and volumes of lumber and panels imported by the UK were nearly 2 million m\u00b3 higher than the first seven months of 2020.<\/em><\/p>\n

This growth has largely been driven by softwood imports, up by 43.6% compared to the same period in 2020. Most product categories have seen an increase, with hardwood imports also up by 26%,\u00a0according to statistics released by the Timber Trade Federation (TTF).<\/p>\n

The statistics also indicate that supply and demand imbalances are continuing to influence lumber prices, with softwood, hardwood and plywood all increasing in value over the last few months.<\/p>\n

Evidence is beginning to suggest that the construction market is being severely constrained by the supply of skilled labour and materials.<\/p>\n

Recent Construction Products Association (CPA) statistics show reduced construction output as the UK head into autumn largely due to the effects of heavy goods vehicle (HGV) shortages, fuel shortages and port congestion.<\/p>\n

While this can hardly be seen as positive, reduced demand will soften the significant price rises TTF have seen in the structural timber sector over the past three quarters.<\/p>\n

These constraints on construction output are set to continue as they head into 2022, and this will likely mean demand for lumber beginning to return to more \u2018normal\u2019 levels.<\/p>\n

With post-lockdown spending habits changing, and as government financial support is largely withdrawn, some shifts in the private housing and repair, maintenance and improvement (RM&I) markets have long been forecasted.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
