Global Demand for Forest Products to the Year 2010
註釋This research note estimates the future consumption of wood and paper products using a simplified function whereby demand depends only on the income and population of a country. Consumption is then converted into an industrial roundwood equivalent in order to determine future demand for this raw material. Two estimation approaches are compared: one assumes that all countries exhibit the same consumption curve, and the other involves grouping countries together according to their forest resource endowment and degree of economic development. A demand function is estimated for about 110 countries accounting for over 90% of global consumption of forest products.
