The price of lumber in the United States fluctuated widely over the last five years, from a low of 240 dollars per 1,000 board feet in January 2016 to a peak of over 1,500 dollars in April 2021. This overall increase has not been linear though, with, for example, lumber prices falling by around 50 percent between June and September 2018, and again between August and October 2020. The value fell again by around 75 percent between May and August 2021. As of the end of December 2024, the price of lumber stood at 550.5 U.S. dollars per thousand board feet. Which nations are at the forefront of lumber production? The production of lumber is dependent on the availability of forest resources, market demand, and technological advances. Sustainable forest management practices a continuous supply of timber, while economic factors and construction activity drive demand. Among the countries countries with the largest production of lumber were China and the United States. Other countries with a relatively high lumber production rate were Russia, China, and Brazil.

This statistic displays the lumber production in the United States from 2006 to 2019. In 2019, the lumber production in the United States amounted to some 45,423 million board feet.

The countries with the largest production of lumber in 2022 were China and the United States. China produced 178 million cubic meters of wood-based panels, which are often used for construction and furniture. Meanwhile, the United States produced 186 million cubic meters of sawlogs and veneer logs. Russia and Canada also produced over 150 million cubic meters of these four types of lumber, which are often used in buildings.

These sixty tables present current and historical information on production, trade, consumption, and prices of timber products in the United States from 1965-2017 as published in Howard and Liang (2019). The tables focus on national statistics, but include some data for individual states / regions and for Canada. The underlying data were collected from industry trade associations and government agencies. Not all statistics reported in the tables are available for all years due to changes over time in what information was collected by the source organizations.The tables are intended for forest land managers, forest industries, trade associations, forestry schools, renewable resource organizations, individuals in the major timber producing and consuming countries of the world, and the general public. A major use of the data has been tracking industry production and consumption trends over time.The version of the data included in this publication does not include any formulas. A version with formulas is available upon request by contacting the Archive Team (see the Contact Us link at https://doi.org/10.2737/RDS).

The price of lumbe has seen both an overall increase, and large amounts of volatility since 2019. From its low in early April 2020 to its peak in May 2021, the price per 1,000 board feet of lumber increased almost sevenfold, reaching 1,670 U.S. dollars. Yet, after reaching this peak the price then fell to below 500 U.S. dollars per 1,000 board feet in August 2021 before rising again to reach over 1,000 U.S. dollars in the beginning of 2022. Since then, the price per 1,000 board feet of lumber decreased overall, reaching 576 U.S. dollars as of January 29, 2025.

Non-seasonal prices paid for softwood lumber in the United States have remained relatively stable in 2023, after reaching a peak in March 2022. While the price of softwood lumber in May 2021 was valued at over 581 index points, that figure dropped to 274 in September of that yar. The price of softwood veneer and plywood in the United States has also followed a similar trend.

Overview

This issue of the Australian forest and wood products statistics (AFWPS) includes 2016-17 data for key domestic indicators of forestry sector activity, including Australia's commercial plantation estate, volume and value of logs harvested, wood products production and trade. This issue also presents updated quarterly data for dwelling unit commencements for the September and December quarters of 2017.

Key Issues

Business conditions strengthened for Australia's forestry sector in 2016-17, with the fourth consecutive year of strong growth in log harvest volumes supported by higher wood processing industry output.

The total volume of logs harvested from commercial plantations and native production forests reached record levels in 2016-17, exceeding 33 million cubic metres, a 10 per cent increase from the 2015-16 log harvest and 45 per cent higher since 2012-13. The gross value of logs harvested also reached a record level, up 13 per cent from the previous year to $2.6 billion (mill door prices).

Australia's production of sawnwood has been growing since 2011-12 and reached 5.2 million cubic metres in 2016-17, up 3 per cent from the previous year.

The strong export performance of Australia's wood products industries in recent years continued in 2016-17, with the total value of wood product exports increasing to $3.5 billion (up 11 per cent from the previous year).

Following three years of consecutive growth, the total value of wood product imports decreased in 2016-17 to $5.3 billion (down 4 per cent from the previous year).

Dwelling commencements decreased to 220,900 dwellings in 2016-17, down 5 per cent from the previous year, which was primarily driven by a 10 per cent decrease in the number of new residential buildings other than houses, such as units and apartments.

This dataset provides values for LUMBER reported in several countries. The data includes current values, previous releases, historical highs and record lows, release frequency, reported unit and currency.

In 2024, total sales of DIY lumberyards in the United States amounted to an estimated 133.2 billion U.S. dollars. In the coming years, U.S. lumberyards are expected to generate higher sales numbers, reaching a projected total of 150.2 billion U.S. dollars by 2028.

In 2023, China produced around 119.44 million cubic meters of timber (including logs and firewood). Roughly 90 percent of the timber production in recent years was logs, while 10 percent was firewood. The total timber production in China has more than doubled since 2000.
