Timber Resawing and Dressing in Australia - Industry Market Research Report

Timber Resawing and Dressing in Australia
Industry businesses have faced challenging conditions over the past few years. Demand from downstream wood product manufacturers and building construction industries has influenced the industry's performance. Along with greater substitute competition, reduced demand from carpentry services amid the COVID-19 pandemic has been detrimental to the industry. Demand has stayed afloat as the country recovers from the pandemic's economic and social disruptions. Overall, industry revenue has grown at an annualised 0.4% over the past five years and is expected to total $2.3 billion in 2023-24, when revenue drops by an anticipated 4.1%. Declining demand from carpentry services and house construction is contributing to this trend.

Companies in the industry resaw and dress timber to produce building timber, solid timber floorboards, weatherboards and mouldings. Industry firms also kiln dry, season and resaw timber that has already been sawn at other mills. These products are sold to wood product manufacturers such as plywood and veneer makers, other timber resawing and dressing operations, furniture manufacturers and the building construction sector.
