FWPA’s Statistics and Economics program offers information, which is potentially useful to everyone in the timber industry.
On the international front an interactive chart allows you to graph imports and exports of wood and wood products (as defined by ABARES/ABS) by volume or dollar value.
You can also specify a date range and export the results as a spreadsheet file or pdf.
A second chart allows you to view a breakdown of the data by product category, including types of sawnwood and manufactured products.
Under the domestic heading you can view the total sales volumes of plantation softwoods by year, or see a breakdown of the annual sales by product category. Popular product categories include; Structural Untreated, Structural H2 and H2F, Outdoor Domestic (cladding and outdoor treated), Appearance (flooring, appearance grade, furniture timber) and Packaging.
FWPA’s Statistics and Economics offers a wide range of proprietary data which is available to FWPA members and associate members, through a dedicated data dashboard.
Much of this information is commercial-in-confidence and an invaluable tool to senior management and industry decision makers.
