It is reported that the pulp industry has ushered in the highest price of wood in the past two years. In the past year, the coniferous wood price index and the broad-leaved wood price index have increased by at least 6%, which makes wood cost account for about 60% of the cost in pulp production. This makes many manufacturers who are dealing with foreign solid wood raw materials nervous. The sudden rise of raw materials can not be flattened immediately by relying on reasonable management, and the price of solid wood cabinets is in the mist.

Take the price of coniferous wood in Seattle, the United States as an example: After a brief fall in the second quarter, the price of coniferous wood in the region returned to the highest price that could only be reached during the financial crisis in the third quarter. Among them, the price of coniferous wood was 99.8 US dollars / cubic meter, an increase of 1.51 US dollars from the previous quarter. As for the price increase, in addition to the depreciation of the US dollar, the price of coniferous wood in Europe, the Western United States and Western Canada increased sharply.

In western Canada, the price of wood chips closely related to pulp prices also showed an upward trend in the third quarter. Although the overall price increase was slower than the previous two quarters, the latest price also reached $ 104 / cubic meter, which is 14 The high price that has not appeared in the past few years, the price of wood chips in this region has naturally become the highest price in North America.

At the same time, the global price of broad-leaved timber is also on the rise, and the largest price increase in Europe has reached 5% -10%. In France, Finland, Germany and Spain, the prices of broad-leaved logs have increased significantly due to the high operating rates of pulp companies. Only the prices of broad-leaved timber in the southern United States and western Canada fell from the previous quarter.

From a global perspective, due to high wood prices in most parts of the world, the average price of broad-leaved wood has increased by US $ 1.51 / cubic meter to US $ 104.88 / cubic meter. 5.8%.

In the past two years, the cost of wood in the global pulp industry has risen much faster than energy consumption, chemicals and labor costs. Wood raw material costs account for 59% of the cost in the pulp production process. This figure is only 55%. Wood prices are still the most uncertain factor for the future development of the global pulp industry.
