2022-02-17 Seminar: Global Outlook for the Wood Products Industry in the 2020s

Will this decade be the Golden Twenties for the wood products industry? It has certainly started out that way, with global prices reaching new record levels and the demand situation outstripping the supply. There are many things indicating that this is a trend that will continue.

The Corona pandemic created a real boom in the home renovation sector. It also appears that post-Corona trends will continue to support more single-family housing with larger space. This in turn will further increase the demand for wood-based building materials

The global mega trends with focus on sustainability is also a strong driver for wood products. Substitution of fossil-based products to wood based products makes climate- and environmental goals possible to reach.

What are the arguments against a continued role of forests as suppliers of materials for sustainable products? Global supply is constrained; effects of climate change, beetle attacks in Canada and Central Europe, storms and forest fires are all restricting the supply. In this situation, with sharply rising prices for wood, there is a risk that biomaterials will be replaced by fossil-based products, which would have a negative impact on both climate goals and the environment.

At this seminar we will have the opportunity to examine and discuss the impact of these trends on the global wood products industry together with industrial leaders. Arranged by the Royal Swedish Academy of Agriculture and Forestry in cooperation with the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences.
