COVID-19 IMPACT: MARKET GROWTH RESTRAINED DURING PANDEMIC DUE TO DEMAND DECLINE

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The outbreak of COVID-19 had a negative effect on the Forestry and Logging Market, and hence a reduced demand for timber and other forest products, mainly because the construction, manufacture, and export industries were affected. Restrictions in mobility due to lockdowns and limited operations of transport affected supply chains and logistics to constrain logging and consequently, production. Also, scarcity of labor and economic volatility undermined reforestation and forestry management processes. Accompanied by these factors, the industry had encountered considerable issues during the pandemic.

LATEST TRENDS

"Precision forestry technology drives market growth by enhancing efficiency and sustainability"

The latest emerging trend in the Forestry and Logging Market is known as precision forestry technology. This includes the use of UAV aerial mapping and remote sensing information to enhance efficiency on the forest resources and timber yield and minimal damage to the natural endowed environment. Because the growth of trees, the status of the soil, and the conditions in the forest itself can be observed very closely, no unnecessary expenses and waste are incurred by these companies. Such a change in the industry’s orientation suggests other concerning changes towards digital sustainability and proper management of forests.
