Forestry Equipment Market Growth & Trends

The global forestry equipment market size is expected to reach USD 13.0 billion by 2027, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 4.0% over the forecast period. Increasing demand for wood and wood products coupled with the alteration to mechanized processes for felling trees is expected to drive the demand for forestry equipment.

The increasing focus of the forestry industry on enhancing the yield quality and quantity will also drive the market. Furthermore, the rising adoption of silviculture by the foresters, forest owners, and government authorities aids in promoting forestry management plans for the long-term social, economic, and environmental needs of the end-users.

Growing demand for food on account of the rapidly increasing population has generated a need for converting forest lands into cultivable lands. This, in turn, is likely to bolster the demand for mechanized techniques of cutting forest trees, thereby augmenting the market growth over the forecast period.

Surging demand for superior-quality pine and other furniture with specific types of wood is projected as a major driver for lumber in Europe & North America. Furthermore, increasing demand for hardwood floors, wooden pillars, and slabs in the construction industry is expected to significantly uphold the demand for forestry equipment in the aforementioned regions.
