China: Solid Wood Annual 2025

China's 2025 timber production is estimated at 144 million m³, an increase of five percent, due to the maturation of managed commercial forests. China's housing market downturn has significantly reduced wood demand, with new housing starts and commercial housing sales both experiencing substantial declines. The furniture industry faced challenges in 2025 due to intensified competition and U.S. tariffs. Wood product imports and exports declined in 2025, with imports decreasing due to high domestic production and weak demand, and exports impacted by competitive international markets and tariffs.
