ANNOUNCING JOINT REPORT – CHINA FOREST, LOG & LUMBER: SUPPLY, DEMAND & PRICES TO 2030/2035
The China wood products market is becoming complex! A slowdown is one thing, but there are some new and evolving fibre supply dynamics that will be played out in China over the next few years and beyond that should be game changers. We are predicting by when and what happens when China’s economic and construction problems are ameliorated, and a degree of confidence is restored. This is likely to result in significant supply-side responses and changes. All these factors could lead to some surprising and positive changes in prices for softwood log and lumber exporters. The current ongoing rapid expansion of the China’s pulp and paper capacity will also create exciting opportunities for hardwood woodchip exporters.
To provide the wood products trade with a better read and perspective on what’s next for China’s forests, market and import requirements, Russ Taylor Global (Canada) and Margules Groome (New Zealand & Australia) have teamed up to present a strategic analysis and outlook of China’s plantations, and log and lumber supply/demand/prices in: CHINA FOREST, LOG & LUMBER OUTLOOK: SUPPLY, DEMAND & PRICES TO 2030/2035. We also have some expert contributors to our report.
Fieldwork in China has been conducted by both firms, and a joint log and lumber price forecast will be one of the report’s highlights. This will also include a supply/demand analysis and outlook for hardwood woodchips in China’s rapidly expanding pulp sector.

WHY YOU SHOULD SUBSCRIBE!
While there have been short-term projections and data/statistical reports put out by some desk-bound economists and analysts on China, these are normally not useful to those in the log or lumber trade that wanted grounded perspectives, and not model-based outlooks. Furthermore, they are simply “desk studies” by data-gathers that have normally do not have field experience or “hands-on” research skills. This joint strategic report combines two consultants’ views and experience with considerable overlaps to provide a unique perspective on what lies ahead in China, and why!
