The pulpwood, round and split production in Sweden stood at 31.94 million cubic meters in 2023. Over the last two years, the year-on-year variations were a 2.52% increase in 2022, followed by a slight decline of 2.02% in 2023. The average annual growth rate (CAGR) for the last five years leading up to 2023 was 0.72%. Historically, the production has shown minor fluctuation trends with moderate growth and slight contractions within a narrow band of 29.8 to 32.6 million cubic meters.
Looking towards the future, from 2024 to 2028, the production is expected to grow at a modest forecasted five-year CAGR of 0.5%, culminating in a value of 32.963 million cubic meters by 2028. This indicates a steady but not dramatic increase.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in sustainable forestry practices, potential impacts of climate change on forest yield, and increasing demand for pulpwood in eco-friendly packaging solutions.
