Hardwood lumber demand in the 1990’s

Hardwood lumber demand is greatly affected by occurrences and forces outside of the hardwood industry. In the 1980’s these forces resulted in the increased use of hardwood lumber in the production of commercial furniture, pallets, and construction-related products. Hardwood exports also continued to grow throughout much of the 1980’s. Hardwood lumber demand in the 1990’s will be affected by changes in society, technology, institutions, and international timber supplies. Although the demand for hardwood lumber should continue to grow in the 1990’s, potential changes in the pallet and furniture industries should be watched closely by the hardwood industry.
