Market Overview
When FII was launched in 2003, China represented just over one percent of BC’s total exports of softwood lumber products. Since then, the development of the Chinese market for BC wood products has been a priority for the industry. In 2019, China represented approximately 22 percent of BC softwood lumber exports, demonstrating the growth and importance of the Chinese market for BC forest products. Today, China is BC’s largest market for commodity lumber outside of North America.
