Secondary Manufacturing of Solid Wood Products in British Columbia 2016


Book Description

"The British Columbia forest industry continuously faces challenges from commodity market volatility, increased global competition, and declining timber supply. Such challenges were front and centre during the housing and financial crisis in the United States and subsequent great recession of 2007-2009. This report presents survey results for the province's secondary wood manufacturing industries in 2016. The survey gathered operational, employment, production, marketing, and financial information on business types, with supplemental information gathered for panelboard producers. Analysis of the survey results provides a comprehensive picture of the state of the sector's industries and allows for comparison with past surveys conducted by the Canadian Forest Service, including the last one undertaken in 2012. The industry has grown since the last survey, but the relative economic contribution of the two largest subsectors, remanufacturing and engineered wood products, remained largely unchanged. The changes occurred among the smaller subsectors, with strong growth in shakes and shingles and other wood products offsetting the decline in millwork"--Abstract, page v.

Secondary Manufacturing of Solid Wood Products in Alberta 2017


Book Description

"This report presents survey results for Alberta's secondary wood manufacturing industries in 2017. The survey compiled operational, employment, production, marketing, and financial information on nine business types. This is the second focused survey of the sector after the first one was conducted in 2013 allowing for comparisons between the two years and providing base information for continued tracking of the sector in subsequent years. The secondary wood manufacturing sector has grown tremendously over the past 20 years but certainly has struggled to grow over the last decade. The Alberta secondary wood product industries, clustered around Calgary and Edmonton, were significant users of Alberta's wood resources and suppliers of wood-based products to Alberta and the rest of North America. Most of the fibre used by Alberta manufacturers was in the form of lumber sourced from the Alberta market. The majority of sales were within Alberta (65%), with the rest distributed across British Columbia (8%), the Prairies (3%), eastern Canada (12%), and the United States (12%). Over one third of responding firms planned to expand operations, although a number of challenges were identified as hindering expansion opportunities. Market uncertainty and trade barriers, along with high cost and an inexperienced labour force, were identified as the most pressing challenges facing the industry"--Abstract, page v.
