China\u2019s lumber imports fell sharply in the first quarter of 2026, as weak construction activity, lower Russian supply and seasonal factors weighed on demand.<\/p>\n

According to China Customs, China imported 5.02 million m\u00b3 of lumber in the first quarter of 2026, with a total value of US$1.42 billion. This was a decline of 14% in volume and 6% in value compared with the same period of 2025. The average CIF import price rose by 10% year-on-year to US$283\/m\u00b3, indicating that the contraction was mainly volume-driven.<\/p>\n

Softwood lumber accounted for most of the decline. Imports of softwood lumber fell by 23% to 2.73 million m\u00b3 and represented 54% of China\u2019s total lumber imports. The average CIF price for imported softwood lumber increased by 3% year-on-year to US$213\/m\u00b3.<\/p>\n

Hardwood lumber imports were more stable. They rose slightly, by 0.2%, to 2.29 million m\u00b3 and accounted for 46% of total lumber imports. The average CIF price for imported hardwood lumber increased by 9% year-on-year to US$367\/m\u00b3.<\/p>\n

Within hardwood lumber, imports from tropical countries reached 1.81 million m\u00b3, valued at US$583 million CIF. This was an increase of 7% in volume and 27% in value compared with the first quarter of 2025. Tropical lumber accounted for 36% of China\u2019s total lumber import volume, while its average CIF price rose by 18% to US$322\/m\u00b3.<\/p>\n

Why imports declined<\/h3>\n

The fall in China\u2019s lumber imports was mainly caused by the continued weakness in new housing construction, which reduced demand for construction-grade softwood lumber. The contraction in Russian supply also played a major role, while the Spring Festival holiday created an additional short-term slowdown.<\/p>\n

The import volume of construction lumber, especially softwood lumber such as fir, spruce and Scots pine, fell significantly. These species account for nearly half of China\u2019s total lumber imports, so the decline dragged down the overall quarterly result.<\/p>\n

Imports from Russia dropped by almost 30% year-on-year. Russia\u2019s share of China\u2019s total lumber imports fell from 47% to 39%. Russian exports to China were affected by a strategic shift toward Central Asia and the Middle East, while Chinese buyers remained cautious.<\/p>\n

China\u2019s lumber imports in February 2026 fell by 25% year-on-year. Volumes partly recovered after the Spring Festival, with the decline narrowing to 16% in March, but the overall first-quarter volume still contracted significantly.<\/p>\n

Higher-value hardwood species, including ash and North American hardwoods, recorded some growth. However, their share was not large enough to offset the decline in overall lumber imports. At the same time, some lumber originally sourced from the United States and Canada is now reaching China through Viet Nam, suggesting a restructuring of supply chains rather than a straightforward fall in demand.<\/p>\n

Imports from Russia and Thailand declined<\/h3>\n

China\u2019s lumber imports from Russia and Thailand, the two largest suppliers, both declined in the first quarter of 2026. Imports from Russia fell by 29% to 1.935 million m\u00b3, while imports from Thailand fell by 6% to 1.048 million m\u00b3. The decline from these two suppliers was a direct factor behind the overall reduction in China\u2019s lumber imports.<\/p>\n

Russia remained the largest supplier of lumber to China, accounting for 39% of total import volume. This share was down by 7 percentage points from the first quarter of 2025. Thailand was the second-largest supplier, accounting for 21% of China\u2019s total lumber import volume, up by 2 percentage points year-on-year.<\/p>\n

Together, Russia and Thailand supplied 60% of China\u2019s total lumber imports in the first quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n

China\u2019s imports of Russian lumber species declined across the board. Imports of spruce and fir, Korean pine and Mongolian Scots pine, birch, oak, ash, poplar and maple fell by 32%, 29%, 17%, 26%, 24%, 59% and 3% respectively.<\/p>\n

By contrast, China\u2019s lumber imports from Viet Nam and Myanmar rose sharply, by 295% and 165% respectively.<\/p>\n

Main softwood lumber sources<\/h3>\n

Russia was the largest supplier of softwood lumber to China in the first quarter of 2026. It accounted for 65% of China\u2019s softwood lumber imports, although volumes from Russia fell by 30% year-on-year to 1.765 million m\u00b3.<\/p>\n

China\u2019s softwood lumber imports from Sweden, Chile, Brazil and the United States also declined. Imports from Chile fell by 28%, from Brazil by 60% and from the United States by 52%.

Tropical lumber imports increased<\/h3>\n

China\u2019s lumber imports from tropical countries rose by 7% year-on-year to 1.813 million m\u00b3 in the first quarter of 2026. The top three tropical suppliers were Thailand, the Philippines and Viet Nam. Thailand accounted for 58% of China\u2019s tropical lumber imports, the Philippines for 10% and Viet Nam for 15%. Together, the three countries supplied 84% of China\u2019s tropical lumber imports in the quarter.<\/p>\n

The surge in imports from Viet Nam was the main factor behind the increase in tropical lumber imports. China imported ash, oak and other North American hardwoods from Viet Nam. It also imported some cherry, Chinese redwood, maple, poplar and beech lumber for the first time in the first quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n

Imports of tropical lumber from Myanmar, Papua New Guinea and Indonesia also rose strongly, by 165%, 68% and 67% respectively. The sharp increase from Myanmar was mainly due to larger volumes of teak lumber.<\/p>\n

By contrast, imports from Thailand, the Philippines, Gabon, Malaysia, Cameroon and the Republic of Congo fell by 6%, 1%, 9%, 1%, 7% and 14% respectively.<\/p>\n
