China\u2019s Real Estate Production Index increased from October 2024 but remained sluggish, which slowed construction and manufacturing industries, leading to a decline in demand for lumber.<\/p>\n<p>China's domestic lumber production increased, improving self-sufficiency and reducing dependence on imports. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, China\u2019s lumber production was about 85 million cubic meters in 2018, rising to 90 million cubic meters in 2019. Despite fluctuations in 2020 due to the pandemic, production remained around 90 million cubic meters and further increased to about 100 million cubic meters in 2021. In 2022, production reached 110 million cubic meters, a record high. In 2023, China\u2019s lumber production was also around 80 million cubic meters.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, China has promoted the use of alternative materials and implemented the \"bamboo instead of wood\" policy, reducing demand for lumber. Another factor was the rise in imported lumber prices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Decline in lumber imports from Russia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>China Customs data shows Russia was the largest supplier of lumber imports in 2024, but imports from Russia dropped 6% to 12.23 million cubic metres, accounting for 46% of the national total. The value of imports was US$2.603 billion, down 2% on 2023. The average price for imported lumber from Russia in 2024 was US$213 per cubic metre, a year-on-year decline of 7%.<\/p>\n<p>The decline in China's imports of lumber from Russia was due to weak domestic demand and diversification of supplying countries to reduce dependence on a single country. Meanwhile, imports from Belarus and Gabon increased significantly by 37% and 43% respectively in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>China\u2019s lumber imports from Thailand rose to 4.913 million cubic meters valued at US$1.247 billion, up 9% in volume and 15% in value on 2023. The average price for imported lumber from Thailand in 2024 was US$254 per cubic meter\u00a0a year-on-year increase of 2%.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Main countries shipping lumber to China, 2024<\/strong><\/h3>\n<table style=\"height: 347px;\" width=\"826\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Supplier<\/td>\n<td>000s cu.m<\/td>\n<td>YoY % Change<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Total<\/td>\n<td>26,737<\/td>\n<td>-4%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Russia<\/td>\n<td>12,235<\/td>\n<td>-6%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Thailand<\/td>\n<td>4,913<\/td>\n<td>9%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Canada<\/td>\n<td>1,308<\/td>\n<td>-1%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>USA<\/td>\n<td>1,194<\/td>\n<td>-4%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Belarus<\/td>\n<td>1,159<\/td>\n<td>37%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Gabon<\/td>\n<td>768<\/td>\n<td>43%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Philippines<\/td>\n<td>636<\/td>\n<td>-18%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Finlanda<\/td>\n<td>622<\/td>\n<td>-29%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Germania<\/td>\n<td>540<\/td>\n<td>-33%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sweden<\/td>\n<td>419<\/td>\n<td>-48%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Growth in softwood lumber imports from Belarus<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Softwood lumber imports from Belarus rose 37% to 1.159 million cubic meters in 2024.
