At September’s UN General Assembly in New York, Brazil’s President Lula described the international financial system as a “Marshall Plan in reverse” in which the poorest countries finance the richest. Driving the point home, Lula thundered, “African countries borrow at rates up to eight times higher than Germany and four times higher than the United States.” Lula is not alone in this diagnosis. Centrist technocrats par excellence Larry Summers & NK Singh coauthored a report earlier this year arguing that the development world’s mantra to scale up direct financing to the global South—from “billions to trillions”—has failed. Instead, global finance seems to be running in the opposite direction, from poor to rich countries, as was the case last year. Summers and Singh summarize the arrangement thusly: “millions in, billions out.” Added to this is the great global shift to austerity that makes a mockery of climate and development goals. It’s in this context that talk of “green Marshall Plans”—proposed by Huang Yiping in China and Brian Deese in the US—must be received. Negotiations over technology transfer, market access, and finance deals are a permanent feature of the new cold war: call it strategic green industrial diplomacy. Both the American and Chinese proposals, such as they exist, aim to subsidize the export markets of allied countries to build foreign support for domestic industries. For developing countries, this could mean manufacturing green goods to grab a slice of the trillions of future green economic output and develop themselves, and a policy choice to meet their development goals by either making or buying cheap, clean energy generation, electricity storage, and transport. Putting aside the dubiousness of the historical analogy to the United States’ postwar aid program to Europe, the critical element—and the one that seems least likely for either China or the US to pursue in earnest given their domestic political obstacles—is the provision of the kind of financial and industrial support that low- and middle-income countries need. The geoeconomic contest between the US and China rests on which of the two can forge domestic political coalitions that meet the demand of developing countries for local manufacturing value add in green value chains, without which the South will remain merely an export market or a resource colony.

[...]

The optimistic Marshall Plan proposals are not entirely hot air; each attempts to extend aggressive domestic policies globally. China and the US have both made bids on an investment-led partial solution to their respective domestic political and economic challenges, with a focus on clean-energy industries. Their shared formula can be summarized as national strength through industrial renewal. In both countries, domestic industries have been offered ample fiscal support; Biden’s suite of tax credits and subsidies has already spurred more than $400 billion in investment in clean energy and clean-tech manufacturing and generation, and China’s central government, already dominant in clean tech manufacturing, is now concentrating its efforts on next-generation technologies and economic self-reliance.

I saw someone saying that Toyota is also not investing in battery cars in the near future... so I found this article https://www.forbes.com/sites/peterlyon/2024/03/03/bucking-industry-trend-toyota-chairman-downplays-ev-growth-predictions/ AT LEAST they are investing in researching hydrogen drivetrains. But not because batteries also suck for environmental reasons. It seems that money is the only thing that drives them, so, huh, f*** them!

Looks like the dude who's against EVs got replaced last year by someone trying to advance them more, so its more likely the first dude pushed them behind the curve.

It is hard to assess whether Toyoda’s views are shared among his fellow Toyota executives or if his comments merely reflect his personal thoughts towards electrification. It is more likely the latter, though, given that the company says it is prepared to comply with legislation prohibiting sales of gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035, and wants to deliver 1.5 million EVs by 2026, or 14% of its estimated sales total. Meanwhile, even with these headstrong views, Toyoda does not appear to be opposing the acceleration of zero-emission cars. He and Sato have both commented on Toyota’s focus on developing e-fuels which are produced with the help of electricity from energy sources such as water and CO2. Toyoda also stated during his media conference that "Japan is the only developed country to reduce CO2 emissions by 23%," a success rate that is largely attributable to the nation's growing reliance on hybrid vehicles.

Side note, I'm deeply amused that the person currently running Toyota is named Sato.

Polish energy giant Orlen has made windfall profits on oil imported from Russia and refined by its Czech subsidiary, Unipetrol.

A report by a Helsinki-based think tank said that the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia, all landlocked countries which received special EU dispensation to continue with imports of pipelined Russian oil until they could secure alternative sources, have made little effort to wean themselves off supplies via the Druzhba pipeline from Siberia. The profits that Russian companies like Gazprom make on oil are fed back into the Russian war machine. “The Czech Republic has spent more than €7 billion on Russian oil and gas, more than five times more money than it has provided in assistance to Ukraine,” said a report by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA), an independent, Helsinki-based think tank. The CREA report, published on October 14, put the Czech Republic in the spotlight for its purchases and ignited a controversy. The country’s Ministry of Industry pointed out that the issue is not just a Czech one. The ministry said Polish energy firm Orlen has been making money on oil imported from Russia at prices as low as $36 per barrel, much lower than market rates.

Orlen owns Unipetrol, the largest refinery in the Czech Republic, which was the biggest importer in that country of piped oil over the period covered by the report, stretching from Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 until September 2024. While the Czech government makes money on VAT and duty on the fuel sold, the Polish government, which has a 49.9% stake in Warsaw-listed Orlen, took a share of the company’s high dividends in 2022 and 2023. The Czech Ministry of Industry told the Politico news website that it was making efforts to “cease its dependence on Russian fossil fuels.” The ministry referred to investments in pipelines to the Adriatic coast, from where alternative supplies could be shipped in. However, officials said they "could not interfere with the purchasing decisions of private companies like Orlen Unipetrol." Daniel Obajtek, the chairman of Orlen between 2018 and February 2024, appointed by the previous Law and Justice government, deflected responsibility for Unipetrol’s reliance on Russian supplies. He told news website Onet that during his stewardship of the company, he had repeatedly stressed that investment in the transport infrastructure for oil “depends on the Czech government.” The CREA report found that the EU as a whole was the fifth-largest purchaser of Russian hydrocarbons, with France and Italy making up the top five importers in the bloc along with the Czechs, Hungarians and Slovaks.

Why mmWave hasn't become the mainstream spectrum of 5G?

In a previous article of IPLOOK, we introduced what 5G mmWave (5G mmWave) is. Due to its wide bandwidth, abundant resources, and high frequency characteristics, 5G mmWave has significant advantages and was once considered a key frequency band for development in the early stages of 5G. However, today, although many countries and regions around the world have promoted or deployed 5G mmWave, the application of mmWave technology in the industry still faces uncertainties and challenges.

At the beginning of 2023, due to various factors, the construction progress of 5G mmWave base stations in South Korea was far behind expectations, with completion rates only ranging from 10.6% to 12.5%. In Japan, NTT DOCOMO and Rakuten Mobile experienced no growth in mmWave users, and their traffic share was relatively low. Even in the US, which began deploying 5G mmWave ahead of other countries in 2019, the availability of 5G mmWave networks is less than 1%.

Many people believe that the reason why 5G mmWave has not become the mainstream spectrum for 5G is because of its own characteristics and the unclear application demands：

Limited Range: leading to high cost

The mmWave has a small coverage radius, and the construction and operation costs for the same coverage area are high, which hinders large-scale deployment. As a result of its high frequency and large transmission loss, the mmWave has poor coverage ability, with a coverage radius of only about 150 meters for a single mmWave base station, which is only 1/5 of the coverage radius of low-frequency bands such as Sub-6. If a continuous coverage 5G mmWave network is to be built like in the 3.5GHz frequency band, the number of base stations needed would be more than twenty times greater than that of regular 5G base stations, leading to high construction costs.

Poor Penetration: resulting in poor user experience

5G mmWave has poor penetration capability and severe diffuse attenuation, resulting in poor user experience and customer dissatisfaction. There are two main reasons for this. First, the mmWave has a short wavelength (between 1-10 mm), making it poorly penetrating, as it can be blocked by leaves and water droplets. Second, the mmWave is sensitive to the surface of objects, easily causing signal energy to dissipate in multiple directions, resulting in poor signal reception at the receiving end and affecting user experience. For example, even though over 20,000 mmWave base stations have been built in Japan, customers are reluctant to pay for mmWave services due to prominent problems such as frequent signal interruptions and insufficient coverage during usage.

Lack of Groundbreaking Apps

Low-frequency mmWave has clear bandwidth advantages, but due to the lack of groundbreaking applications, its value is difficult to fully unleash in the short term. Globally, mid-to-low frequency spectrum resources are gradually becoming scarce, and more reliance is placed on spectrum re-farming and frequency coordination to solve this issue. In contrast, 5G mmWave, with its continuous and wide spectrum resources, can better achieve bandwidth capacity enhancement. However, by reason of the unclear promotion of large-scale applications such as XR and Smart Homes, and traditional video services can be satisfied with existing bandwidth, the short-term demand for mmWave is not significant.

Happy WBW! What's the in story lore behind the main setting? Why did people build a city/town/village/etc there in the first place? Why do people continue to live there? Are tourists common and if yes, what brings them there?

-HD

Happy Worldbuilding Wednesday (sleepless Jeb says on Thursday), and thank you for the ask, Hyper Discourse!

Honestly, White Sky has a stupidly high lore-and-backstory-to-actual-plot ratio: there's pages upon pages of stuff that'll never exist as more than the odd reference or infodump. There's a lot we could go into - the depths of White Sky's alternate world history, the evolution of spacecraft and human habitation in space, the plans for colonization of the outer planets... for now though, we'll focus on the Moon, as it's a major location in the plot and forms much of the setting.

The Moon, or Luna as it's commonly known politics-wise, was first landed on by humans on July 20th, 1969, when the American lunar mission Apollo 11 touched down on the lunar surface. Commander James A. Lovell Jr. left the Lunar Module the following day, and became the first human to set foot on another world. Not wanting to be outdone, the USSR landed General Alexei Leonov on the Moon in February of the following year aboard Soyuz-9L. Thus began the world powers' feverish race to the Moon, a race which saw its fair share of fatalities and casualties. Nevertheless, by 1980, both countries had their first lunar outposts on the Moon - the Soviets had Zvezda, and the US had Moonlab. Gradually, these meagre outposts morphed into fully equipped and inhabited bases: by 1995, at least twelve people permanently occupied the lunar surface at any given time. After the Thermospheric Wars ended in 2002 with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Earth-Luna Treaty Organisation (ELTO) was established to oversee and regulate access to space. This coincided with the rise of other governments and nations as emerging space powers, such as the European Union (ESA), Japan (JAXA) and China (CNSA). Gradually, the Moon's population grew as nations staked their claims to lunar territory. The first precursors to the present-day domed cities were basic cities developed in the late-2010s and early-2020s: distinct from the myriad research complex, these habitats were designed purely for human habitation and tourism. Supported by the forebears of modern mega-corporations, Earth's ultra-wealthy began to invest, travel and build. During times of turmoil on Earth in the mid-21st century, Luna was a growing refuge; a home away from home for thousands of tourists, researchers and workers. Earth's reliance on lunar helium-3 after the oil wars only accelerated this process, and the end result is what we see in the current setting of White Sky: pinpricks of light and warmth covering our satellite in Earth's night sky.

Luna is, of course, heavily regulated. Several cities with a combined population of almost 150,000 would be trivial on Earth. On a world 240,000 miles away and naturally inhospitable to mankind, it's an absolute necessity. A tentative lunar democracy has formed between the lunar city-states, presided over by ELTO, who hold supreme overriding power over all lunar affairs. However, Luna is not without flaws. Tourism is a major draw to the lunar cities, whether it's a billionaire visiting their 'holiday apartment' or a middle-class family's once-in-a-lifetime lunar trip. Critics point to the increasing wealth disparity between Luna's uber-rich, consumerism-centered tourism industry and the struggles the thousands of workers and permanent residents propping it up - some say this is the number one factor in the cities' consistently high crime and corruption rates, while others point to ELTO's increasingly draconian restrictions and defensive measures as the impetus for the Moon's growing underground terrorist network. Whatever the case, it's clear that the Moon is a flashpoint for the future of humanity: will it gain independence from Earth and become the first foothold to an interplanetary civilization? Or will intergovernmental and corporate meddling sink humanity's aspirations while they're still in their infancy?

“Also among Lane’s clients: FTX. Federal prosecutors are now examining Silvergate’s role in banking Sam Bankman-Fried’s fallen empire. The more pressing problem is that the collapse of FTX spooked other Silvergate customers, resulting in an $8.1 billion run on the bank: 60 percent of its deposits that walked out the door in just one quarter. (“Worse than that experienced by the average bank to close in the Great Depression,” The Wall Street Journal helpfully explained.)

In its earnings filing, we found out that Silvergate’s results last quarter were absolute dogshit, a $1 billion loss. Then, on March 1st, Silvergate entered a surprise regulatory filing. It says that, actually, the quarterly results were even worse, and it’s not clear the bank will be able to stay in business.

(…)

“If Silvergate goes out of business, it’s going to push funds and market makers further offshore,” Ava Labs president John Wu told Barron’s. The issue is how easy it is to get into actual cash dollars, which in finance-speak is called liquidity. Less liquidity makes transactions more difficult. Already there is a broader gap between the price at which a trade is expected to go through at and the actual price at which it executes, Wu said.

So Silvergate’s troubles are a problem for the entire crypto industry.”

“Within 48 hours, a panic induced by the very venture capital community that SVB had served and nurtured ended the bank's 40-year-run.

Regulators shuttered SVB Friday and seized its deposits in the largest U.S. banking failure since the 2008 financial crisis and the second-largest ever. The company's downward spiral began late Wednesday, when it surprised investors with news that it needed to raise $2.25 billion to shore up its balance sheet. What followed was the rapid collapse of a highly-respected bank that had grown alongside its technology clients.

(…)

"This was a hysteria-induced bank run caused by VCs," Ryan Falvey, a fintech investor at Restive Ventures, told CNBC. "This is going to go down as one of the ultimate cases of an industry cutting its nose off to spite its face."

(…)

The roots of SVB's collapse stem from dislocations spurred by higher rates. As startup clients withdrew deposits to keep their companies afloat in a chilly environment for IPOs and private fundraising, SVB found itself short on capital. It had been forced to sell all of its available-for-sale bonds at a $1.8 billion loss, the bank said late Wednesday.

(…)

All told, customers withdrew a staggering $42 billion of deposits by the end of Thursday, according to a California regulatory filing.

By the close of business that day, SVB had a negative cash balance of $958 million, according to the filing, and failed to scrounge enough collateral from other sources, the regulator said.

(…)

Now, thanks to the bank run that ended in SVB's seizure, those who remained with SVB face an uncertain timeline for retrieving their money. While insured deposits are expected to be available as early as Monday, the lion's share of deposits held by SVB were uninsured, and it's unclear when they will be freed up.”

“First Republic shares fell 52% in early trading before storming back to near the previous day's closing level, only to then finish the day down 15%. Investors expressed concerns about unrealized losses on assets at the bank as well as its heavy reliance on deposits that could turn out to be flighty.

(…)

First Republic's shares have lost 34% of their value in the past week.

(…)

In its annual report, First Republic said the fair-market value of its "real estate secured mortgages" was $117.5 billion as of Dec. 31, or $19.3 billion below their $136.8 billion balance-sheet value. The fair-value gap for that single asset category was larger than First Republic's $17.4 billion of total equity.

All told, the fair value of First Republic's financial assets was $26.9 billion less than their balance-sheet value. The financial assets included "other loans" with a fair value of $26.4 billion, or $2.9 billion below their $29.3 billion carrying amount. So-called held-to-maturity securities, consisting mostly of municipal bonds, had a fair value of $23.6 billion, or $4.8 billion less than their $28.3 billion carrying amount.

(…)

Total deposits at First Republic were $176.4 billion, or 90% of its total liabilities, as of Dec. 31. About 35% of its deposits were noninter-est-bearing. And $119.5 billion, or 68%, of its deposits were uninsured, meaning they exceeded Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. limits.”

“Signature becomes the third-largest bank to ever fail in the U.S., behind Silicon Valley Bank and Washington Mutual in 2008, if its assets haven't changed significantly since the end of 2022. Signature had $110 billion in assets as of Dec. 31, ranking 29th among U.S. banks. It had $88 billion in deposits as of that date, and approximately 89.7% were not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

(…)

Signature served clients in the cryptocurrency world and had been trying to reduce its exposure. Like Silvergate Bank, another crypto-friendly bank that said last week it would voluntarily wind itself down, it suffered from a deposit outflow in the aftermath of the collapse of crypto exchange FTX. Deposits dropped 17% in the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to the year-earlier period.

(…)

Now that Signature has been seized, Circle, issuer of the second largest stablecoin, "will not be able to process minting and redemption [for the stablecoin] through SigNet," and "will be relying on settlements through BNY Mellon,” CEO Jeremy Allaire said on Twitter Sunday evening.

Circle’s USD coin fell below its crucial $1 peg Friday after the company disclosed $3.3 billion in cash reserves held with the failed Silicon Valley Bank despite attempted withdrawals Thursday. After falling to 88 cents on Saturday, the company announced it planned to cover any shortfall from its SVB losses using “corporate resources.””

“Credit Suisse shares on Monday reached a new record low, falling as much as 15% as investors continued to hammer away at the stock of the Swiss banking giant after the collapse of banks in the U.S.

(…)

Credit Suisse CSGN CS has lost money for five straight quarters and says it’s expecting to post a loss before tax this year. It’s undergoing a big transformation after losing billions lending to the Archegos family office and having to freeze $10 billion worth of funds tied to Greensil Capital. Wealthy clients pulled out about $100 billion from Credit Suisse in the fourth quarter.”

The Tokenization Market is projected to grow from USD 2,815 million in 2024 to USD 11,093.8 million by 2032, registering a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.7% over the forecast period. The tokenization market has emerged as a critical enabler in the modern digital economy, providing secure solutions for safeguarding sensitive data. With the growing reliance on digital transactions across industries like financial services, healthcare, retail, and telecommunications, tokenization has become a preferred method for enhancing data privacy and security. This article explores the growth of the tokenization market, its driving factors, industry applications, and potential challenges.

Browse the full report https://www.credenceresearch.com/report/tokenization-market

Understanding Tokenization Tokenization is the process of replacing sensitive data with unique identifiers called tokens that retain all the essential information about the data without exposing its underlying details. Unlike encryption, which uses algorithms to secure data, tokenization eliminates the data’s value to malicious actors, ensuring its safety even if breaches occur.

Market Growth and Trends The global tokenization market has experienced exponential growth in recent years and is expected to maintain this trajectory. Valued at $2.3 billion in 2023, the market is projected to reach $8.9 billion by 2028, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30.6%. Several factors contribute to this robust growth:

Rising Cybersecurity Concerns The increasing frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks have heightened the need for advanced data protection solutions. Tokenization, by minimizing the risks associated with data breaches, has gained prominence as a secure alternative to traditional methods.

Regulatory Compliance Stringent regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), compel organizations to adopt tokenization to ensure compliance.

Adoption in E-Commerce and Mobile Payments The proliferation of e-commerce platforms and the growing popularity of mobile payment systems have amplified the demand for tokenization. These platforms rely heavily on secure payment gateways to protect customer data and foster trust.

Cloud-Based Tokenization The rise of cloud computing has also fueled the adoption of tokenization. Cloud-based solutions are scalable, cost-effective, and easy to deploy, making them appealing to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Key Applications of Tokenization Tokenization finds applications across diverse industries, each leveraging its benefits to secure sensitive data:

Financial Services Tokenization is widely used in the financial sector to secure credit card details, account numbers, and personal identification numbers (PINs). It reduces fraud risks in payment processing and ensures compliance with PCI DSS requirements.

Healthcare In healthcare, tokenization safeguards electronic health records (EHRs), protecting patient data from breaches and misuse while complying with HIPAA standards.

Retail and E-Commerce Tokenization secures online transactions, protecting customer payment information and fostering consumer trust in digital platforms.

Telecommunications The telecom sector uses tokenization to protect sensitive customer data, such as call records and billing information, enhancing data security across networks.

Challenges in the Tokenization Market Despite its promising growth, the tokenization market faces several challenges:

Integration Complexity Implementing tokenization solutions can be complex, particularly for organizations with legacy systems. Integration requires substantial investment in time, money, and expertise.

Performance Trade-offs Tokenization may introduce latency in data processing, especially in high-volume transaction environments. Organizations must balance security with performance.

Emerging Threats As technology evolves, so do cyber threats. Tokenization providers must continually innovate to stay ahead of malicious actors.

Lack of Awareness Many SMEs remain unaware of tokenization’s benefits, limiting its adoption despite the increasing need for secure data solutions.

Future Outlook The tokenization market’s future looks bright, driven by advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technologies. AI-powered tokenization solutions offer enhanced efficiency, while blockchain ensures tamper-proof token management. Moreover, expanding use cases in industries like the Internet of Things (IoT) and digital identity management are likely to fuel market growth further.

Effective Strategies to Promote Your Printing Business

In today's competitive market, promoting your printing business effectively is key to attracting new customers and building long-term success. Whether you specialize in digital printing, offset printing, or large-format printing, implementing a strong marketing strategy can set you apart from your competitors. Here are some effective ways to promote your printing business and enhance its visibility.

1. Build a Strong Online Presence

In the digital age, having a professional website is a must. Your website serves as the online face of your printing business and is often the first place potential customers will go to learn more about your services. Ensure that your website is user-friendly, mobile-responsive, and includes all relevant information, such as services offered, pricing, and contact details.

Additionally, consider investing in search engine optimization (SEO) to increase your website's visibility on search engines. By optimizing for keywords related to your business, such as “affordable printing services” or “high-quality printing,” you can attract local customers searching for printing solutions.

2. Leverage Social Media Marketing

Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn provide an excellent opportunity to connect with your target audience. Sharing high-quality images of your work, customer testimonials, and industry tips can help you build trust and showcase your expertise. Engaging with followers through comments, likes, and shares can further strengthen your brand presence.

Paid advertising on these platforms can also be an effective way to promote your printing business to a targeted audience based on location, interests, and demographics.

3. Offer Promotions and Discounts

Promotions and discounts are a great way to attract new customers and encourage repeat business. Consider offering limited-time discounts on popular services or bundle deals for larger orders. For example, you could offer a discount for first-time customers or a special rate for bulk printing orders. Promoting these offers through your website and social media channels will generate buzz and incentivize people to try your services.

4. Build Partnerships with Local Businesses

Forming partnerships with local businesses is a highly effective way to expand your network and gain referrals. You can offer your printing services to small businesses, event organizers, or schools that may require promotional materials, signage, or marketing collateral. In return, these businesses can refer you to their clients, providing you with a steady stream of leads.

Collaborating on joint promotions or co-branding efforts can also boost your visibility in the community.

5. Attend Industry Events and Networking Opportunities

Networking with other business owners, event planners, and professionals in the printing industry can help you stay updated on trends and expand your customer base. Attend trade shows, conferences, or local business networking events to promote your printing services. Carry business cards, brochures, or even sample prints to showcase your capabilities. The more people you meet, the more opportunities you’ll have to generate new business.

6. Invest in Local Advertising

Despite the growing reliance on online marketing, traditional advertising methods can still be effective in promoting your printing business, especially if you’re targeting a local audience. Invest in local newspapers, community magazines, or billboards to raise awareness of your services. Flyers and brochures distributed at local events or businesses can also help spread the word.

7. Collect and Showcase Customer Testimonials

Word-of-mouth referrals are incredibly valuable, especially in service-based industries like printing. Encourage satisfied customers to leave reviews or provide testimonials about their experience with your business. Display these testimonials prominently on your website and social media pages. Positive reviews help establish credibility and build trust with new customers, making them more likely to choose your printing business over competitors.

8. Offer Exceptional Customer Service

Lastly, never underestimate the power of great customer service. Providing a seamless, positive experience for your clients will not only ensure repeat business but also generate positive word-of-mouth. Respond promptly to inquiries, offer personalized services, and always deliver high-quality results. Happy customers are more likely to refer others to your printing business, helping you grow organically.

Conclusion

Knowing how to promote your printing business involves a mix of traditional and digital marketing tactics, from building a robust online presence to fostering relationships with local businesses. By leveraging these strategies and consistently delivering high-quality service, your printing business will continue to grow and succeed in a competitive market. Remember, the key to standing out is to be consistent, creative, and customer-focused in every aspect of your marketing approach.

Global Insights: A Comparative Study of Lumber Markets Across Different Geographies

In the dynamic world of global lumber markets, 2023-25 marks a significant turning point. After nearly a decade of consistent growth, these markets are now facing new challenges, reshaping the industry landscape. This blog focuses on the trends, shifts, and strategies that navigate the developing softwood lumber market.

A Glimpse into the Global Lumber Market

Softwood lumber, a cornerstone of the construction, packaging, and furniture industries, has seen impressive growth since the year 2000. Globally valued at approximately $100 billion, this market has maintained an annual nominal growth rate of nearly 3% from 2000-2022, with demand volume increasing by 0.8% annually. Growth has been particularly strong in Asia, notably China, where demand has surged by 3.6% each year.

The primary driving factor behind lumber demand is a nation's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). As economies prosper, so does their need for lumber, especially in construction. Emerging and mature markets both follow this trend, though with different variations. Building culture, composition of GDP, and market maturity are additional influencers on regional demand.

Shifting Supply and Demand Dynamics

As the softwood lumber market experiences seismic shifts, its dynamics are undergoing a significant transformation. Over the past decade, demand was on a consistent upswing until 2022, when a 4% decline marked a pivotal moment – the first major drop since the housing and financial crisis of 2007-2008. Price fluctuations mirrored this trend, with unprecedented highs during the COVID-19 crisis, followed by a 40% fall to pre-pandemic levels.

Amid these fluctuations, several trends are emerging - weaker market balance over the next 3 years due to decreased supply in most regions, except for the growth expected in the US South; Russian exports reduced due to geopolitical events; and a decline in demand across developed economies. The latter is particularly pronounced as global economic growth slows, investment contracts, and inflation drives central banks to raise interest rates.

Geographic Insights: Lumber Market Projections

United States: The US, a significant player with a 26% share of global lumber demand, is undergoing a period of flux. The housing sector, a significant consumer of softwood lumber, is expected to experience fluctuations over the next few years, influencing demand. Although demand may dip by 6% in 2023, recovery is anticipated by 2025, aligning with improvements in the housing sector.

China: China, a powerhouse market with 17% of global demand, recently experienced a cooling of its construction sector, affecting demand. However, with economic stabilization and shifts toward consumption, lumber demand growth is projected at 4-5% annually in the coming years. China's increasing reliance on Russian imports is anticipated, given shifting trade dynamics.

Europe: European lumber markets are coping with declining demand due to headwinds in construction and housing. Despite this, the long-term outlook indicates growth resuming after 2025, with a focus on the US market. Structural shifts in the economy, interest rate adjustments, and geopolitical factors shape the trajectory of the European lumber sector.

Middle East and North Africa (MENA): MENA's significance lies not only in its 4% share of global demand but also in its role as a crucial market for exporters. While short-term demand is anticipated to drop, a rebound in GDP growth and investment in 2024 suggests long-term growth potential. Northern European exporters, historically important to MENA, may find themselves facing emerging competitors from the Southern Hemisphere.

Navigating the Future

The road ahead for the global softwood lumber market is one marked by challenges and opportunities. Supply shifts, demand fluctuations, geopolitical events, and economic shifts all contribute to the complexity of this market. Sawmill owners worldwide must strategize in the face of changing landscapes, utilizing insights from global trends to make informed decisions.

As the softwood lumber market enters this new phase, it is essential to remain vigilant and adaptable.
