Roundwood Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The rising demand from housing and infrastructure construction companies is notably driving the roundwood market growth, although factors such as environmental challenges may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the roundwood industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Roundwood Market Driver

One of the key factors driving the global roundwood market growth is the rising demand from housing and infrastructure construction companies. For instance, the US President's 2020 budget proposed a sum of USD 200 billion for infrastructural development. In emerging economies, such as India, the government's policy to allow 100% FDI for townships and settlement projects is estimated to increase the demand for wooden products during the forecast period. The Government of India initiatives, such as the Smart Cities Mission, the Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana (PMAY), and the Sardar Patel National Urban Housing Mission, are estimated to promote urbanization, which is expected to spur the sales of new wood products and furnishings. In addition, the demand for office spaces in the Bay Area of California; Quezon City in the Philippines; and Gurugram, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad in India, is estimated to drive the growth of the global roundwood market during the forecast period.

Key Roundwood Market Trend

Another key factor driving the global roundwood market growth is the rising global roundwood production. The global roundwood market is expected to be worth USD 312 billion, or about 2 billion cubic meters during the forecast period. Despite a slowdown in market growth owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, substantial global demand for wood kept the roundwood industry afloat in 2020. The use of roundwood is expected to rise by around 10% to 2.2 billion cubic meters globally by 2030, owing to significant economic and demographic expansion in Asia. Globally, the sustainable harvest of current wood fiber supplies is estimated to be adequate to fulfill its increasing global consumption until 2030, with wood prices rising at a nominal rate of 1% per year. Such factors are expected to further drive the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.

Key Roundwood Market Challenge

One of the key challenges to the global roundwood market growth is environmental concerns. Wildfires also devastated huge tracts of Australian and American forests and wood in 2020, in addition to the supply chain delays and reduced working hours for timber sector personnel due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Climate change and prior improper forestry management are increasingly being blamed for the increase in the number of wildfires/forest fires and beetle infestations. Moreover, sustainability is becoming a crucial long-term market trend at all levels of the value chain. Agreements to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, such as the European Green Deal, the Paris Climate Agreement, and the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), could encourage the establishment of a market for biodegradable and wood-based packaging. Thus, environmental challenges are expected to limit the market growth during the forecast period.

This roundwood market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.
