China's lumber import falling rapidly
Press release
4/27/2021
China imported approximately 4.13 million m³ of softwood lumber during January-March. This means a reduction with 20% compared to the same period during 2020. At the same time residential buildings projects with a total floor space of 362 million m² were started which means an increase by impressive 30%. "A rapid increase in housing starts and a lower import of softwood lumber have reduced the stocks of lumber to a very low level," says Jenny Wessung CEO at Woodstat. She continues: "With a high demand in Europe and U.S. we'll no doubt see a strong market for lumber."
The figures are from the newsletter Market News published every month by Woodstat, a company specialized in monitoring the world wide softwood lumber market.
