Published 09 June 2025

lumber mill Market Size was estimated at 179.2 (USD Billion) in 2023. The Lumber Mill Market Industry is expected to grow from 185.95(USD Billion) in 2024 to 249.94 (USD Billion) by 2032. The lumber mill Market CAGR (growth rate) is expected to be around 3.77% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032).

Rising demand in construction, furniture, and packaging is fueling a steady expansion. The stationary sawmill market alone is projected to grow at a 3.9% CAGR through 2033, reaching about USD 2.18 billion by then . Meanwhile, sawmill machinery—used to convert logs into lumber—should climb from USD 1.42 billion in 2023 to USD 2.02 billion by 2031 (CAGR 4.5%). Developing regions like Asia‑Pacific (especially India and Southeast Asia) are driving much of this demand growth. 

Key Companies in the lumber mill Market Include:

Weyerhaeuser ,West Fraser ,Canfor ,Georgia-Pacific ,Resolute Forest Products ,Interfor ,Louisiana-Pacific ,Rayonier Advanced Materials ,Hampton Lumber ,Sierra Pacific Industries ,Boise Cascade ,Plum Creek Timber Company ,Deltic Timber Corporation ,EACOM Timber Corporation ,GreenFirst Forest Products

How Has Demand Fluctuated Over Recent Years?

The pandemic era saw lumber prices skyrocket—two‑by‑fours once reached ~USD 1,700/Mfbm, more than four times pre‑pandemic highs . Though prices have since moderated, they remain well above historical norms and quite volatile. Supply constraints—due to mill shutdowns, infestations, and wildfires—have amplified price pressures.
