\n

Record-high lumber prices in North America and Europe have moved both sawlog demand and values to some of their highest levels in 25 years.<\/p>\n

The European Sawlog Price Index (ESPI) reached a new all-time high of \u20ac103\/m3 in the 4Q\/21 as sawlog prices continued to climb throughout the continent.<\/p>\n

Sawmills in the Nordic countries currently have some of the lowest sawlog costs globally, as log prices did not rise as much as they did in most other countries.<\/p>\n

Global Pulpwood Markets<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wood fiber costs rose for softwood pulp producers in the 4Q\/21 even as they fell for manufacturers of hardwood pulp.<\/p>\n

The Softwood Fiber Price Index (SFPI) reached $94.10\/odmt in the 3Q\/21, its highest level since 2014, and 8.1% higher than in the 4Q\/20.<\/p>\n

The Hardwood Fiber Price Index (HFPI) has been trending downward for over ten years since its record high in 2011 and is currently about 4% below its 30-year average value.<\/p>\n

Global Pulp Markets<\/strong><\/p>\n

Global trade of pulp fell in the 4Q\/21 predominantly due to lower demand in many Asian markets.<\/p>\n

In the back half of the year, market pulp prices have started to come down from the record highs seen in the 2Q\/21.<\/p>\n

The strong demand for wood products in Europe and North America has increased lumber trade during the first nine months of 2021 by about three percent y-o-y.<\/p>\n

In the 4Q\/21, overseas lumber imports to the US fell 13% q-o-q as US lumber prices plunged.<\/p>\n

Canada's total lumber exports fell about 13% q-o-q in the 4Q\/21, with shipments to China declining by over 50% in the first nine months of 2021 y-o-y.<\/p>\n

Despite reduced lumber demand in China, import prices have gone up because of higher lumber prices in the European and North American markets. As a result, the average Chinese import price in the 4Q\/21 reached its highest level in over 15 years.<\/p>\n

Global Biomass Markets<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wood pellet exports from Canada have gradually shifted from Europe to Asia, with export volumes to Japan and South Korea accounting for 43% of total shipments in 2021.<\/p>\n

The European pellet industry (already the largest in the world) is increasingly challenged to find sufficient sourcing for wood raw materials.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
