[Dec 31, 2025]



The Swedish state forest Sveaskog is by far Sweden's largest forest owner with 3,9 million hectares of forest land.

Sveaskog Adjusts Wood Prices Amid Economic Pressures

Sveaskog has reduced its timber prices due to challenging market conditions for its customers in the sawmill and pulp industries. The state-owned forestry company cited customer profitability pressures in global competition as the reason for the downward adjustments, according to Marketing Manager Patrick Bäckström.

The price reductions vary by region and product. In southern and central Sweden, the price for pine timber is lowered by SEK 130 ($14) per m3, while spruce timber prices remain unchanged.

In northern Sweden, pine timber is reduced by SEK 50 per ($5.4) m3 and spruce by SEK 25 ($2.7) per m3.
Across the entire country, pulpwood prices are also being cut, with softwood pulpwood reduced by SEK 40 ($4.4) per m3 and hardwood pulpwood by SEK 90 ($9.8) per m3.
