2023 was a year of two halves with a first half continuing the trends from 2022 then a complicated second half with a sharp decline in the French sawmill market.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the 2020-2022 period, France's sawmills benefited from a relocation of supplies and a rebound in activity. The fear of supply disruptions was present.<\/p>\n

Activity at sawmills fell in the first quarter 2023 from 120% to 90%, the signal of slowdown given by the market causing an inventory adjustment.<\/p>\n

Import purchases exceeding demand at the end of 2022 and beginning of 2023 are also at the origin of the sharp slowdown, the time that supply and demand adjust to the new situation and each company adjusts its own stocks.<\/p>\n

Over the same period, sawmills had to adapt to the increase in their production costs due to the surge in the price of electricity, the rise in wages, inflation and more generally the price of logs which remains high.<\/p>\n

The construction market, which had held up well in 2022 thanks in particular to the work for the Olympic Games, suddenly slipped into a context of doubt and crisis. New construction, particularly individual houses, fell by 25% over the period.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the renovation market held up relatively better, with craftsmen having a large order book and a stronger capacity for resilience.<\/p>\n

The pallet market in France experienced a very sharp slowdown at the end of 2023. After a period of 2 years of \u201ceuphoria\u201d, 2023 represents a brutal return to the reality of a very cyclical construction market dominated by the effects of public policies.<\/p>\n

2024 began in an atmosphere of tension and worry<\/strong><\/p>\n

Under the effect of the control of supply by French sawmills which have voluntarily reduced their volumes of sawn timber and the end of the adjustment of stocks, the market is stabilizing with an activity rate between 92 and 94%. This level of activity is a little better than expected but in a much more difficult pricing environment.<\/p>\n

The valuation of related products is more complicated due to a pellet market hampered by very mild weather and reduced momentum after sharp price increases.<\/p>\n

Some companies took the opportunity to capture sawnwood export volumes in order to preserve their business and avoid a too violent fall in prices.<\/p>\n

On the forest resource side, the bark beetle crisis has still not stabilized and other species such as fir are affected.<\/p>\n

At the start of 2024, rainy weather dominates with difficulties in removing wood from forests and the risk of material degradation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
