Swedish Forest Sector Outlook Study

In this study, international trends and major drivers of change for forest resources and wood use are reviewed and, together with projections of future developments in the use and supply of wood resources as well as wood-product market developments in Europe for the period 2010 to 2030, analysed as to their impact on the Swedish forest sector. Demand is foreseen to vastly exceed the potential supply of woody biomass in Europe, putting a tremendous pressure on the Swedish forest resource and possibly necessitating trade-offs between different ecosystem services.
