??Could the US lumber market survive without Canadian wood products? With Canada supplying approximately 25% of the US softwood lumber and 20% of structural panel demand, the stakes are high. ?? Dustin Jalbert breaks it down in his latest analysis: ?? US operating rates averaged 79% in 2024, leaving about 7.5 surplus capacity of softwood lumber (BBF) ?? However, with Canadian imports accounting for nearly a quarter of US softwood demand, there’s still a shortfall of just over 3.2 BBF Meeting this demand will take time and significant investments in new capacity, along with navigating labor and technical bottlenecks.
