The Forestry market is a vital component of the global economy in that it provides raw materials for a multitude of industries and plays a key role in environmental sustainability. This dynamic market is shaped by various factors.

There is a rising demand for sustainable and eco-friendly wood products, driven by a growing environmental awareness. Consumers are increasingly favoring products from responsibly managed forests that are certified by organizations such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or the Programme for Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). This trend is propelling the market toward more sustainable practices.

Technological advancements in forestry, such as precision forestry and improved harvesting techniques, are enhancing efficiency and reducing environmental impact. In regions such as Scandinavia, sustainable forestry practices are well established. Emerging economies are seeing rapid growth in forestry activities, which is often fueled by foreign investments and local government policies. In countries such as Canada and Brazil, meanwhile, forestry practices are strongly influenced by local environmental laws and the situation regarding indigenous land rights. These factors dictate how forestry operations are conducted and have implications for market access and sustainability.

Global economic conditions, trade tariffs, and international agreements significantly impact the Forestry market. Demand for wood products is closely tied to the health of the construction industry and the evolution of the paper industry in response to increasing digitalization. In China and the United States, among others, infrastructure development and housing markets are also heavily affecting demand for timber and wood products.

The egg industry is highly dependent on the health of its chickens. In December 2021, the avian influenza was detected in Canada and subsequently spread to the United States in the beginning of 2022. Wild birds in nearly every state were infected as well as commercial flocks in about half of the United States. This was the first outbreak since 2015 and led to over 50 million birds being killed to prevent further spread, the majority of which were poultry.
