From January to October, Sweden exported a total of 10.6 million m³ of softwood lumber and planed timber. As a look in the Datacube shows, exports fell by 8.4% year-on-year. However, they are exactly at the level recorded in the same period of 2019.

For Sweden, the most important export markets were Great Britain (+17%; 2.45 million m³), Norway (+5.5%; 916,000 m³) and the Netherlands (+3.4%; 899,000 m³), which all saw a positive development. Shipments to Egypt (-43%; 639,000 m³) and China (-60%; 313,000 m³), on the other hand, decreased considerably compared to last year. Exports to the US fell by 12% to 600,000 m³.
