During 2025, Germany experienced a notable drop-off in its annual wood harvest. This shortfall has contributed to tighter roundwood & residual wood chip availability.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The level of calamity wood expected to come to market in 2025 did not occur. Bark beetle induced calamity wood harvest levels are falling fast. They represented 75% of the overall harvest back in 2020 but were down to 30% in 2025. As softwood forests are replanted after a calamity harvest, generally they are planted with mixed species (both hardwood and softwood) to optimize forest resilience.<\/p>\n

Tight supply conditions have pushed up prices for Spruce and Pine logs in Germany to multi-year highs. Prices for softwood logs have reached record highs and now exceed 130 euro per m3 up from 100\u2013110 euro per m3 in early 2025. Even at these price levels, available log quantities are thought to be insufficient to meet current sawmill demand.<\/p>\n

Sawmills have been trying to gain concessions on price but have been unsuccessful. Many sawmills<\/a> are facing low inventories as the peak harvest season in Germany approaches an end point. Sawmills will likely have to continue paying additional premiums to increase forest owners\u2019 willingness to harvest and supply wood in the short term.<\/p>\n

The winter heating season has also contributed to tighter wood markets. A harsh winter in Central Europe drove a notable spike in demand in January & February. During this time, wood paying capability of pulp producers in the Iran war has seemingly only increased this gap given the challenges placed on energy infrastructure in Europe. Though the heating season is now in decline, and pellet prices have fallen, both bioenergy and firewood buyers are still active in the market seeking to replenish stocks.<\/p>\n

Problems in Germany are in contrast to the Nordic region, where wood prices and fiber costs paid by mills have moderated for several months. In Germany, the recent inflation in wood pricing has increased fiber costs for pulp mills by at least ~$50 per MT. With BSK demand in China weak and prices down to the $640\u2013650 per MT level on the resale market it places higher curtailment risk on older and less efficient mills in Central Europe.<\/p>\n
