Die Aussichten für den britischen Schnittholzmarkt sind überraschend positiv. Auf der Nadelholzkonferenz der Timber Trade Federation (TTF) prognostizierte Nick Moore von Timber Trends steigende Nadelschnittholz-Importe für 2019. Die Voraussetzung dafür sei allerdings ein abgeschlossener Brexit-Deal mit der Europäischen Union, berichtet die Internetplattform ttjonline.com.  
Moore geht davon aus, dass die britischen Nadelholzimporte heuer um 1,7% auf 6,7 Mio. m3 und der Verbrauch um 2,7% auf 10,3 Mio. m3 steigen werde. Die britische Nadelschnittholz-Produktion dürfte 2019 um 4,1% auf 3,8 Mio. m3 steigen.
