The wood fuel production in China has been on a continuous decline from 2013 to 2023, with a yearly decrease ranging from -0.75% to -1.87%. By 2023, the production stood at 154.71 million cubic meters. During this period, the highest year-on-year decrease was in 2016 and 2017, at -1.87%. Over the last two years, production decreased by 0.71% annually, showing a relatively slower decline.

Forecasts for the future indicate a continued downward trend with an anticipated CAGR of -0.56% over the next five years until 2028. This suggests a growth rate decrease of approximately -2.76% by 2028.

Future trends to watch for include:

Increased adoption of alternative energy sources, potentially further reducing the demand for wood fuel.
Potential policy changes towards more sustainable forestry practices affecting production.
Technological advancements in bioenergy that might influence production volumes positively or negatively.
Shifts in domestic and global energy markets and their impacts on wood fuel demand and production.
