The production of sawnwood in Thailand witnessed significant growth from 2013 to 2019, with a notable increase from 2.85 million cubic meters in 2015 to a peak of 4.5 million cubic meters in 2017 and 2018. This period saw substantial year-on-year increases in 2016 and 2017, followed by a stabilization. However, production slightly declined in the following years, stabilizing around 4.3 million cubic meters by 2020. By 2022, production further declined to 4.2 million cubic meters. The year 2023 saw a marginal increase to approximately 4.23 million cubic meters.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential shifts in government policies impacting forest management and sawnwood production.
Technological advancements in sawmilling that could enhance productivity.
Environmental and sustainability considerations that may affect logging practices and production volumes.
