The import volume of logs including Keruing, Ramin, Kapur, Teak, Jongkong, and Merbau to the US is forecasted to grow steadily from 2024 to 2028. From a base of 1.39 thousand cubic meters in 2024, the volume is projected to increase annually by approximately 3.4% on average over this five-year span, reaching 1.6 thousand cubic meters in 2028. Notably, year-on-year growth rates reflect a consistent 4% increase from 2024 to 2028, underscoring a robust upward trend since 2023.
Looking ahead, factors likely to influence US imports include global supply chain dynamics, trade policies, and demand from the construction and furniture sectors. Monitoring regulatory changes and environmental sustainability efforts in wood sourcing countries will be crucial in shaping future import patterns.
