Industrial Round Wood Market Size

Industrial Round Wood Market Summary

Industrial Round Wood Market Analysis

The Industrial Round Wood Market size is estimated at USD 338.74 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 374.00 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 2% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

The global roundwood market is expanding swiftly, driven by increased industrial consumption and sustainability initiatives. China, Brazil, Canada, the United States, and Russia are the top producers of industrial roundwood. These countries have boosted production over the past five years to meet rising demand. Planted forests are crucial to global and regional economies, ensuring a reliable supply of industrial roundwood. In many developing countries, these forests underpin the growth of forest-based manufacturing and export sectors. In 2023, domestic roundwood made up 73%, of the wood consumed by members of the Confederation of European Paper Industries (CEPI). In developing regions, particularly Asia and Africa, rapid urbanization and industrialization have led to a higher demand for wood in construction. This demand often exceeds local production capacity, resulting in increased imports of industrial roundwood.

Moreover, according to the FAO, increasing the production of renewable forest products presents an opportunity to replace fossil-based products with higher carbon footprints, supporting the Sustainable Development Goals and driving market growth. However, the market faces several challenges. The forest sector is subject to stringent laws in almost all countries, affecting companies that produce end products from industrial roundwood. The companies that source raw materials from forests must formally report their operations. Violations of these laws can result in strict warnings, fines, and penalties. The industry is under significant scrutiny for issues such as deforestation, illegal logging, and the sustainability of forestry practices. Consequently, stricter regulations and sustainability certifications, such as those from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), are shaping the market.

Asia-Pacific Dominates the Global Import Market

The Asia-Pacific region, driven by rapid economic growth, industrialization, and urbanization, stands as one of the largest and most dynamic markets for industrial roundwood. The region's diverse demand for wood products—ranging from construction timber and paper products to biomass for energy—has resulted in significant roundwood imports. According to FAOSTAT, in 2022, Asia imported 39,753 thousand cubic meters of coniferous roundwood, surpassing Europe at 38,248 thousand cubic meters, with North America, Africa, and South America trailing at 440, 34, and 34 thousand cubic meters, respectively.

China, Japan, India, South Korea, and several Southeast Asian nations are major players in the Asia-Pacific roundwood market. Urban expansion in China and India is driving a surge in timber demand for housing, roads, and infrastructure, predominantly sourced from imported roundwood, especially softwood for construction framing. Notably, China's urbanization rate rose from 63.4% in 2022 to 64.5% in 2023, according to the World Bank, generating more demand for industrial round wood to accomplish the needs of urbanizing society.

Countries in the Asia-Pacific, especially in Southeast Asia, face limited domestic timber resources, making them heavily reliant on imports for industrial roundwood. This dependency is pronounced in Japan and South Korea, where domestic forests are smaller and yield less. Even timber-rich Malaysia, known for its substantial wood product exports, finds it necessary to import roundwood to satisfy its domestic processing and manufacturing needs. Consequently, the Asia-Pacific's rising local demand, coupled with inconsistent domestic supply, has fuelled its growing import activities.
