Roundwood is the unprocessed timber directly extracted from trees that have been cut and have their original cross-section and appearance in a natural round shape. It can be made available in both hardwood and softwood, depending on the nature of the trees and the end-use specifications. This raw material is available in cubic meters and serves as a fundamental resource in various industries, including construction, furniture manufacturing, the paper industry, and renewable energy production. Roundwood is the primary product of the wood supply chain and is harvested using either sustainable or commercial forestry practices, serving as an essential connection between the resources found in forests and the manufacturing and trade that occur around the world.
The roundwood market is set to show a growth rate of about 3.54% during the forecast period (2025-2033F). Global demand for sustainable and renewable raw materials in various industries, including construction, furniture, paper, and bioenergy, is increasing, which contributes to the growth of the roundwood market. The growing urbanization and development of infrastructural projects are leading to an increase in the usage of timber, which fuels the roundwood market. Adding to this, growing concerns about the environment are driving the adoption of wood as a renewable source of building materials, replacing plastics and metals. The development of forestry management and certification increases sustainable timber harvesting and improves market confidence. Moreover, the development of the usage of biomass in energy production, and government incentives that promote these applications of renewable resources, catalyze further development of the market.
