Secondary manufacturing of solid wood products in British Columbia 2016 : structure, economic contribution and changes since 1990 / Linda Wong, Brad Stennes, and Bryan E.C. Bogdanski.: Fo143-2/447E-PDF

"The British Columbia forest industry continuously faces challenges from commodity market volatility, increased global competition, and declining timber supply. Such challenges were front and centre during the housing and financial crisis in the United States and subsequent great recession of 2007-2009. This report presents survey results for the province's secondary wood manufacturing industries in 2016. The survey gathered operational, employment, production, marketing, and financial information on business types, with supplemental information gathered for panelboard producers. Analysis of the survey results provides a comprehensive picture of the state of the sector’s industries and allows for comparison with past surveys conducted by the Canadian Forest Service, including the last one undertaken in 2012. The industry has grown since the last survey, but the relative economic contribution of the two largest subsectors, remanufacturing and engineered wood products, remained largely unchanged. The changes occurred among the smaller subsectors, with strong growth in shakes and shingles and other wood products offsetting the decline in millwork"--Abstract, page v.
