This report on the Wood Based Forest Products in China: 2005-2010 combines market research and forecasts to provide a strategic analysis of the wood products industry in China. The report includes separate chapters for sawn timber (lumber), wood panels and engineered wood products, and a chapter analysing substitution between the products.

Separate chapters are also provided for economic forecasts, building industry forecasts, the forest resource, and the industry structure. Historical data and annual forecasts are provided for production, consumption and trade for each of the products. Cost of production and prices are also provided with forecasts where possible.

The timely study is designed to identify market opportunities, strategies and prospects for investment and trade in lumber, wood panels, and engineered wood products in China.

Report Objectives

For 2005 and beyond, this report will:

address key issues facing producers, investors and traders;
forecast prices, trade, production, and consumption;
identify new investment opportunities;
identify prospects for new applications and other factors influencing demand;
recommend strategies for suppliers and investors to gain a competitive edge.

Methodology

The general methodology for this study is the product of 30 years of methods research and development by BIS Shrapnel. The study will utilise three basic sources of information:

A research team will undertake a field evaluation in China. Interviews and strategic discussions will be held with producers, end users, distributors and associations
Published data on the economy, building, lumber and panel sectors, and information from government and industry organisations
BIS Shrapnel's own studies. Among the most relevant are: Medium Density Fibreboard in the Pacific Rim, Particleboard in the Pacific Rim, Structural Engineered Wood Products in the Pacific Rim and Europe, and The World Market for Tropical Plywood.
