COVID-19 IMPACT: MARKET GROWTH RESTRAINED DURING PANDEMIC DUE TO DEMAND DECLINE

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The outbreak of COVID-19 had a negative effect on the Forestry and Logging Market, and hence a reduced demand for timber and other forest products, mainly because the construction, manufacture, and export industries were affected. Restrictions in mobility due to lockdowns and limited operations of transport affected supply chains and logistics to constrain logging and consequently, production. Also, scarcity of labor and economic volatility undermined reforestation and forestry management processes. Accompanied by these factors, the industry had encountered considerable issues during the pandemic.

LATEST TRENDS

"Precision forestry technology drives market growth by enhancing efficiency and sustainability"

The latest emerging trend in the Forestry and Logging Market is known as precision forestry technology. This includes the use of UAV aerial mapping and remote sensing information to enhance efficiency on the forest resources and timber yield and minimal damage to the natural endowed environment. Because the growth of trees, the status of the soil, and the conditions in the forest itself can be observed very closely, no unnecessary expenses and waste are incurred by these companies. Such a change in the industry’s orientation suggests other concerning changes towards digital sustainability and proper management of forests.

SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the market can be categorized into Logging & Timber Services.

Logging: The company’s logging segment comprises the procurement, conversion, and transport of logs and timber from operation sites to conversion centers such as sawmills and processing plants. This includes clear cuts, selective cuts, and shelterwood cuts to make wood products meet the demand in the market. Hence, logging is very vital in supplying the unprocessed materials for construction, production of papers, and other products from the timber source.

Timber Services: Timber services are those activities that have to do with the maintenance of the forest via planting of trees and pruning, among other activities for the growth of the trees. It is important that forest health is sustained and that there is diversity in the forests and that places conform to the environmental regulations, hence the importance of these services. They provide an adequate basis for the continued funding of the logging industry since they enable replenishment of the forest.

By Application

Based on application the market can be categorized into Construction & Industrial

Construction: The construction segment utilizes timber in framing, flooring, and wall and ceiling finishing in this segment. As such, wood is widely recommended for use in construction projects for residential, commercial, and structural work. There is also development in the engineered wood products that is improving their use in contemporary structures.

Industrial: In the industrial sector, timber is applied in the production of products such as pallets, crates, and industrial packaging. It is used in the production of parts and structural frameworks of machinery and equipment. The need to obtain high-quality woods that are also easy to customize enough for logistics as well as manufacturing purposes is the main growth drive here.
