Summary
Chips away: Weaker woodchip demand from Japan has reduced industry revenue
Abstract
Wood Chipping in New Zealand
Industry operators produce softwood and hardwood woodchips specifically for export, with some woodchips from logging and sawmilling activity used domestically. Industry firms export a high portion of woodchips to Japanese paper manufacturers, and sell a smaller proportion to domestic customers.
This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
