Abstract

The year 2021 witnessed the strong recovery of the sawn hardwood market. This positive trend lasted until mid-2022, when it flipped in the entire UNECE region. Consumption of sawn hardwood dropped in the second half of 2022 resulting in the contraction of annual consumption by 3.3% to 30.3 million m3. Consequently, sawn hardwood markets in the UNECE dropped back almost to the low levels of 2020 which was heavily impacted by the pandemic. Sawn hardwood production in the UNECE region dropped by 2.7% to 35.5 million m³.
