Foreword
Europe has been the largest consumer of wood
pellets in the world for years, occupying as much as 58% of the global market
in 2018, followed by the US and China, both taking up 22.9% of the market in
the same year. The Covid-19 pandemic has led to a decrease in demand which has
resulted in the European market being oversupplied. There are however signs
that demand has begun to rise again, with exports from the US starting to pick
up once again.
In January 2021, the U.S. exported 599,624 metric tons of wood pellets, compared to
564,826 metric tons in December and 500,904 metric tons in January 2020,
showing that although the pandemic has led to setbacks, the wood pellets market
is still steadily growing...
