Market Insights
For the past 13 years, Wood Resources International has distributed Market Insights on a regular basis to over 8,000 forest industry executives, analysts, investors, consultants and journalists worldwide. These Market Insights have covered the most recent developments in regard to global wood supply, forest industry production, forest products trade, and pricing of sawlogs, pulpwood, wood chips, lumber and biomass. A majority of the information in our insights has been gleaned from our global market report, the Wood Resource Quarterly, as well as from our analyses of market developments in key countries around the world.
A few of the most recent global wood market insights are listed below and can be downloaded as PDF files by clicking on the headline. For more in-depth market information, consider subscribing to our 56-page quarterly market publication Wood Resource Quarterly.
