\n

2021 was a strong year for the Swedish forest industry with production records, strong demand and high prices in the wake of the pandemic.\u00a0But the uncertainty ahead of 2022 is great.\u00a0The invasion of Ukraine, new EU bills and the tours around the interpretation of the\u00a0Species Protection Ordinance\u00a0<\/a>create many question marks for the industry, the\u00a0Swedish Forest Industries (Skogsstyrelsen)\u00a0new market report shows.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Swedish forest industry's exports in 2021 amounted to SEK 167 billion (EUR 15 billion), and thus accounted for as much as ten percent of the total Swedish product exports.\u00a0The development was stimulated by low interest rates and a broad interest in bio-based materials, which is the basis of the forest industry's operations.<\/p>\n

''But we are closely following the tragic development in Ukraine.\u00a0The Swedish forest industry has no major trade with Russia, but in the wake of the conflict follow significant logistics challenges, markedly rising energy prices and also a generally weaker global demand,'' says Kerstin Hallsten, chief economist at\u00a0Swedish Forest Industries.<\/p>\n

In February, the Swedish Forest Agency announced its new interpretation of the Species Protection Ordinance, which in practice risked having a negative impact on the supply of raw materials to the forest industry.\u00a0After harsh criticism, the government will now change the regulation, but the uncertainty is still great.\u00a0There are also other policy proposals that risk reducing the supply of forest raw materials, such as the European Commission's proposal for revised LULUCF legislation.<\/p>\n

''This, together with the uncertain geopolitical situation, raises many questions for the Swedish forest industry in the future.\u00a0In the long run, the various political decisions risk hitting the green transition, jobs and the opportunity to maintain good public service throughout Sweden,'' says Kerstin Hallsten, chief economist at Skogsindustrierna.<\/p>\n

The situation in the wood products market is also unusually difficult to predict.<\/p>\n

''It is likely to be difficult for the wood products market to achieve some form of normal situation under prevailing circumstances.\u00a0The expected recovery after the pandemic will probably not take place.\u00a0From a strict timber perspective, the war in Ukraine means disruptions in Russian exports, which should be noticed first in the European market where there may also be a shortage of timber,'' says Christian Nielsen, analyst in timber at\u00a0Swedish Forest Industries.<\/p>\n

In recent years, demand for packaging materials has been stable.\u00a0New investments are made, which creates increased supply of packaging materials.<\/p>\n

''In graphic paper, the development has been the opposite, production capacity has decreased.\u00a0Demand for newsprint and magazine paper has fallen for several years and the decline is expected to continue.\u00a0Prices have certainly risen recently, but profitability remains relatively weak.\u00a0The higher prices thus slow down the closures of mills, but do not lead to the production capacity being expanded,'' says Katrin Heinsoo, analyst in paper and pulp at Skogsindustrierna.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
