Leading European plywood importers have forecast trade to be on a level with 2023 or be only marginally up this year. They are not expecting a more robust recovery until next year.<\/span><\/p>\n

A UK importer-distributor of temperate and tropical plywood said their market \u2018still feels depressed\u2019. \u201cWe expect 2024 to remain flat,\u201d they said. \u201cWe don\u2019t anticipate much change until interest rates fall and house building kick starts the UK economy. We just hope that the new UK government lives up to its pledge to back construction to build 1.5 million new dwellings in the next five years.\u201d<\/p>\n

An EU-based importer, who described their business as \u2018heavily dependent on construction\u2019, said that some of their national plywood markets have been doing better than others.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Netherlands and UK have performed slightly below 2023 so far but are picking up slowly and expected to be in line with last year at the end of 2024,\u201d they said. \u201cHowever, France and Germany have performed below expectation.\u201d A key concern for European importers has been the hike in freight rates.<\/p>\n

\u201cPart of the increase is justifiably attributed to the attacks on shipping in the Red Sea, leading to vessels having to avoid the Suez Canal and take the long route around the tip of Africa,\u201d said an EU importer-distributor. \u201cBut the feeling is that some shipping lines are taking advantage of the situation and increasing rates over and above what is justified.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis situation has been causing real issues for us,\u201d said a UK importer. \u201cA 40-ft container from Southeast Asia had fallen from the peaks we saw in the pandemic to around US$1,000 in December 2023, but in 2024 rates returned to above US$10,000 and we\u2019re now paying around US$7,500. We expect the situation to remain challenging until rates go down below US$5,000 a box, but we don\u2019t anticipate that happening until 2025.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
