These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A depressed construction industry \u2013 particularly in the housing building sector \u2013 which has seen sawmills cutting back on production and subsequently labour.<\/li>\n<li>Increased prices charged by Scandinavian mills to counter the previous year\u2019s poor trading.<\/li>\n<li>Issues with the availability of EU logs due to recent increased felling volumes to combat bark beetle outbreak.<\/li>\n<li>Lower volumes of Canadian timber as the result of forest fires last year and this, which has had a knock-on effect on supplies from the US.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cTIMCON\u2019s members have reported significant hikes in the price of pallet wood over recent months,\u201d said Stuart Hex, TIMCON secretary-general. \u201cThe recently published pallet timber index for Q2 shows a further increase of 4.4% for home-grown wood, following on from the 0.3% reported in Q1 \u2013 this is the first time we have seen two successive quarters of increase since Q2 2021 and Q3 2021. We have also seen a 6.5% increase in imported timber from the Baltics, the first reported increase since Q3 2021.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince December the UK index has reported a total increase of 4.2%. While this is significantly lower than the 20.1% reported in the German HPE index over the same period, the UK monthly index is clearly showing that prices are continuing to rise in the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith some predictions suggesting the country won\u2019t see a recovery in the house building sector until 2025, we hope the newly elected government will introduce measures to stimulate an uplift sooner rather than later,\u201d said Mr Hex.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UK&#8217;s Timber Packaging &amp; Pallet Confederation (TIMCON) has warned that pallet manufacturers are facing significant increases in the cost of raw material costs passed onto them, pushing prices up for uses \u2013 in spite of a currently depressed market.
