Demand for Timber and Sustainable Wood Products

The Philippines is experiencing a notable increase in the demand for hardwood lumber, fueled by rapid growth in the construction sector and an escalating demand for furniture. From 2017 to 2020, hardwood lumber imports surged by almost 20%, reflecting a significant supply-demand imbalance that has led to rising prices for hardwood lumber within the country. This growing demand contrasts with the country’s dwindling production of lumber and wood products, necessitating an increased reliance on imports.

K-TIMBER, from Angola, brings to the Philippine market a rich range of wood products, especially suited to the diverse needs of this country. Providing types of wood such as Sapele, Doussie and Eucalyptus, K-TIMBER meets the trend of increasing demand for high-quality, sustainable construction and furniture materials in the Philippines. As Manila’s leading supplier of African timber and hardwood, K-Timber has established many relationships with the city’s craftsmen and manufacturers.
