The Global Wood Summit – held last week in Vancouver, BC – provided an excellent platform for discussions and perspectives on what can be expected in 2025 for the North American and global forest products markets. Amongst all the topics, the outlook for the three key market regions in Asia (China and Japan), Europe, and the US were discussed at length, where the consensus was weakest in Asia, moderate in Europe, with potential upside expected for the US market.
It is expected that the US will lead all markets in 2025 and prices should be higher – maybe very high according to some! Conference Proceedings from 20 presenters are available for sale at US$400. Please contact me directly or go to the Global Wood Summit website ( www.globalwoodsummit.com ) where you can purchase the proceedings starting on November 12.
