Overview of FEA's Upcoming Global Log & Lumber Outlook
All Panelists
FEA’s leading experts—Brendon Lowney, Paul Jannke, and Rocky Goodnow—will provide an exclusive overview of FEA’s upcoming Global Log and Lumber Outlook.
2020‒21 saw multiple shocks to both demand and supply including: COVID-19, surging North American consumption, declining fiber supplies in some regions and surging supplies in others, as well as increased restrictions on trade. FEA’s experts will discuss how markets will react to these shocks and present their forecast of the likely path forward for the global industry over the next 2 years.

Europe
Christian Nielsen, Market Analyst, Sawn Wood Markets, Skogsindustrierna (Sweden)
The analysis of Europe will explore:
What is the status of European timber supply after the sharp drop in Spruce Bark Beetle killed timber?
After plunging in 2020, rising European timber costs quickly drove production costs higher in 2021. Will European lumber remain competitive in global markets?
How much European lumber is likely to enter global markets and at what price?
Middle East & North Africa
Amir Rashad, CEO, Timber Exchange (Sweden)
The analysis of MENA will explore:
Historically, the Middle East and North Africa has been a major destination for European lumber. Will the region continue to absorb European production?
With the volatility of COVID-19 and the subsequent collapse in demand for timber and other building materials, what is the future for the regional construction markets as they resume?

North American demand is surging. Will this continue or will markets see a setback in 2022–23?
Capacity has expanded rapidly, but production has trailed as weather and labor supply constraints hamper mills' ability to produce lumber. Will we see a reprieve, or will production growth continue to lag that in demand?
How quickly can planned capacity expansions ramp up?
Will capacity expansions continue apace, or are we likely to see a slowdown as markets digest recent and current investments?
Lumber prices blew through all historical records in 2021. Will we again test those highs in 2022–23?
There has been a lot of talk about lumber prices being higher over the coming decade. Is this still the case? If so, what is the new “normal”?
While lumber prices are higher, so are costs. Will costs remain high, or can we expect them to return to more historical levels?
Session 5 will have a pre-recorded presentation from select speakers (available early), plus a live discussion and Q&A session on the day of the conference. A recording of the live event will be available afterwards.
