Overall consumption of primary processed wood products is expected to grow 37 percent by 2050 in a business-as-usual scenario, a report published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) said.<\/p>\n

Consumption of primary processed wood products \u2013 sawnwood, veneer\/plywood, particle\/fibreboard and wood pulp \u2013 is predicted to total 3.1\u00a0billion\u00a0cubic metres by 2050,\u00a0according to\u00a0The global forest sector outlook 2050: Assessing\u00a0future\u00a0demand and sources of timber for a sustainable economy<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The increase in consumption will be at least 8 percent higher in a bioeconomy scenario when two modern wood products are considered \u2013 mass timber and manmade cellulose fibres \u2013 substituting non-renewable materials. In a scenario of a more accelerated transition to the bioeconomy with a stronger participation of these two products, the rise in consumption of primary wood products could reach 23 percent more than in the business-as-usual scenario.<\/p>\n

Renewable and climate friendly<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mass timber and engineered wood products in construction, man-made cellulose fibre for textile production, and more modern forms of wood for energy are the most prominent wood products for large-scale substitution of non-renewable materials.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe forest sector is critical for resilient and sustainable economies. Ensuring the sustainability of the forest sector will require innovation and investments, but also policy coherence,\u201d said Ewald Rametsteiner, Deputy Director of FAO\u2019s Forestry Division.<\/p>\n

Growing demand and its impact on the forestry sector\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The growth in consumption of wood products \u2013 compared to the projected 25 percent rise in population \u2013 \u201cwill be driven by higher incomes in emerging world regions resulting in catch-up effects for consumer goods (e.g. paper, packaging, clothing and furniture) and in more construction sector activities,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

Meeting future demand for sustainable wood may be achieved by a combination of increased sustainable production in naturally regenerated temperate and boreal forests and in planted forests increasingly in the global South, the report said. But estimates of the concrete contribution of forest types and regions to global timber supply in 2050 are highly uncertain, it added.<\/p>\n

This demand will need to be met by increasing productivity through sustainable forest management in existing forests, and encouraging wood production as part of land restoration programmes and projects. If naturally regenerated forest production remains stable, the planting of at least 33 million hectares of new forests will be needed, the report said.<\/p>\n

Wood for energy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Future wood energy consumption up to 2050 will be shaped by two major trends: the traditional use of fuelwood in the two most rapidly growing world regions of sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia and the projected role of modern biomass to generate renewable energy.<\/p>\n

Global consumption of fuelwood from forests in 2050 may be between 2.1 billion and 2.7 billion cubic metres, the report said in its medium outlook, compared to 1.9 billion cubic metres in 2020, a rise of between 11 and 42 percent.<\/p>\n

Wood will also increasingly be part of the renewable energy mix in the industrial world. In some regions and contexts restoration efforts for fuel wood may be needed to meet this demand.<\/p>\n

In 2020, there were still 2.3\u00a0billion people relying on wood fuel as their primary source of energy for cooking and heating. Wood fuel will remain the main energy source for many households in emerging economies until 2050, but many scenarios suggest consumption growth rates will slow down.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnsuring access to sustainable wood fuel to private consumers who rely on this source due to economic reasons is a public responsibility comparable to supplying electricity or water,\u201d said Thais Linhares-Juvenal, Team Leader of Sustainable Forestry, Value Chains, Innovation and Investment in FAO\u2019s Forestry Division.<\/p>\n
