American lumber prices have decreased threefold, closing in on pre-COVID levels, which should drive global prices down. The change in lumber prices is largely influenced by slumping demand for real estate which became more expensive from diminished access. In Russia, the world’s largest supplier, a sharp increase in lumber exports led to a shortage in the domestic market. Attempting to hold the price growth instigated by that, the Russian government implemented 10% export duties on lumber until the end of 2021. Due to this, the main importers of Russian goods may opt for other suppliers.

Canadian lumber wholesalers have grappled with global lumber price volatility, creating challenging conditions both for wholesalers and for downstream clients like construction contractors, home improvement stores and hardware stores. In 2021 and 2022, the price of lumber soared globally as demand for new construction soared, especially in the United States. While exports and imports are not tracked at a wholesale level, many companies do sell across the border; as a result, conditions in the United States affect revenue. As lumber prices and Canadian residential construction activity have fallen from their respective 2021 and 2022 peaks, so too has revenue for the Lumber Wholesaling industry in Canada. With industry revenue forecast to remain level in 2025 alone, the overall industry is expected to have decreased at a five-year CAGR of 1.8% to reach $15.6 billion in 2025. The fate of wholesalers has largely been tied to the volatility of downstream construction markets. High interest rates stifled previously hot residential construction markets in both Canada in the US till both the Bank of Canada and the Federal Reserve began cutting rates. While this is set to improve construction activity, and therefore demand for lumber, both the Bank of Canada and the Federal Reserve have held rates steady in their most recent 2025 decisions as volatile US-Canada tariff policy has created an uncertain economic situation. The US and Canada have had an ongoing trade dispute over lumber prices since before the US put in place broader tariffs in April 2025. The uncertain business environment caused in part by these tariffs has kept the average industry profit margin from expanding through the end of 2025. Lumber wholesalers are expected to see growth moving forward. Interest rates are expected to be gradually cut over the coming years, stimulating demand from downstream construction markets. In tandem, the selling price of lumber is expected to climb, though it will not likely see the rampant inflation of recent years. Demand for housing construction in Canada demand is also set to remain strong into the near future. Consequently, industry revenue is forecast to expand at a CAGR of 1.4% to $15.6 billion over the five years through 2030.
