The forecast for China's import of logs and poles of coniferous wood not treated or painted reveals a gradual increase from 38.276 billion kilograms in 2024 to 41.845 billion kilograms by 2028. In 2023, the import stood at 37.5 billion kilograms. This indicates a steady year-on-year growth, averaging approximately 2.3% annually from 2024 to 2028. Over this five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a modest expansion driven by consistent demand in construction and manufacturing sectors.
Future trends to watch for include potential fluctuations in global trade policies and China's domestic policies on sustainable forestry. Additionally, any changes in construction and infrastructure development plans may significantly impact the demand for coniferous wood imports.
