Turkey's production of pulpwood, round and split, has demonstrated significant variability over the past decade. From a 7.815 million cubic meters in 2013, production climbed steadily, reaching 13.937 million cubic meters by 2023. The year-on-year variation has seen extreme fluctuations, from a high increase of 31.25% in 2018 to a dip of -10.36% in 2017. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the last five years stands at 4.08%. Forecasts suggest a continued growth to 16.962 million cubic meters by 2028, yielding a 5-year CAGR of 3.11% and a total growth rate of 16.54%.
Looking ahead, key trends to watch include the impact of demand fluctuations in global markets, advancements in sustainable forestry practices, and potential regulatory changes. These factors are critical in shaping the long-term outlook for Turkey's pulpwood production.
