Abstract

Timber products are vital in the construction, manufacturing, and shipping segments of the U.S. economy. Nearly all 

new houses are built principally with wood. Wood building 

products are also used extensively in the construction of 

nonresidential buildings and in the upkeep and improvement 

of existing structures. Solid wood is also used to produce, 

package, and transport manufactured products. In 2006, an 

estimated 6.8 billion ft3 (187.5 million m3) of solid wood 

products were consumed in the United States, down slightly 

from 2005 but more than twice the consumption in 1950. 

Over the period 1950 to 2006, the lumber share of total solid 

wood products consumption decreased from 73% to 69%, 

while the structural panel share increased from 14% to 18%. 

Nonstructural panel share remained unchanged. The share 

of lumber used for construction increased from 50% to 67% 

but remained the same or declined in other end-use areas. 

Structural panels share in construction remained about the 

same over the period 1950 to 2006, decreased in packaging and shipping (5% to 2%), and increased in the “other” 

end-use category. The share of nonstructural panels used 

for construction fell from 68% to 43%, while increasing in 

manufacturing and other end uses.

Introduction 

The U.S. Forest Products Module (USFPM) is being developed as part of the United States Forest Assessment System 

(USFAS) to make 50-year projections of U.S. forest products consumption, production, trade, and prices. The USFAS 

system of computer models is designed to support the 2010 

Resources Planning Act (RPA) timber assessment1 and other 

strategic studies that involve long-range assessments of 

changes in U.S. forest resource conditions. The USFPM is 

being developed as a sub-model or module within the Global Forest Products Model (GFPM), creating a combined 

U.S. and global forest products model (USFPM/GFPM), 

to be incorporated as part of the USFAS. 

One critical step in the development of the USFPM is estimation of long-term historical price and income demand 

elasticities for lumber (softwood and hardwood), structural 

panels (softwood plywood and oriented strandboard (OSB)), 

and nonstructural panels (combined hardwood plywood, 

particleboard, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), hardboard, and insulation board) in major end-use markets. Price 

elasticities are based on deflated Producer Price Indexes 

(PPIs) (Table 1) and will measure the effect of changing 

wood product prices on the amounts of wood products consumed in each end-use market. Income elasticities are based 

on deflated Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (Table 1) and 

will measure the effect of changing real GDP on wood products consumed in each end-use market. Consumption levels 

can then be projected more reliably into the future based on 

the elasticity effects. Major end-use markets include new 

residential construction (single family, multifamily, and 

manufactured housing), residential repair and remodeling, 

nonresidential construction (buildings and other types of 

construction), manufacturing (furniture and other products), 

packaging and shipping, and all other uses. 

Annual U.S. wood products production and foreign trade 

data are readily available and are used to estimate total 

apparent domestic consumption for each wood product 

1RPA forest assessments are periodic reports by the U.S. Forest 

Service that describe in detail the nationwide forest resource situation, with long-range projections that extend 50 years into the future. RPA assessments are developed every 10 years, with interim 

updates every 5 years. RPA assessment reports and supporting 

research are mandated by Congress in the Renewable Resources 

Act of 1974, National Forest Management Act of 1976, and Forest 

and Rangeland Renewable Resources Research Act of 1978, and 

subsequent amendments (United States Code Title 16, Chapter 36). 

See http://www.fs.fed.us/pl/rpa/what.htm for more information.

(Howard 2007). Wood products consumption data within 

each major end-use market are limited and available only 

for years in which studies were specifically conducted. To 

develop price and income elasticities, wood products consumption within each end-use market must be estimated annually and must be balanced so the sum equals total apparent consumption for the year. The purpose of this report is 

to present balanced, annualized estimates of wood products 

consumption by major end-use market developed for the 

USFPM. Estimates were made for the period 1950 to 2006 

and are being used to develop the elasticities needed for the 

USFPM.

U.S. Wood Products Consumption

Solid wood products are important raw materials to the construction, manufacturing, and shipping segments of the U.S. 

economy. Nearly all new single-family houses and low-rise 

multifamily residential structures are wood framed and 

sheathed. Large amounts of solid wood timber products are 

also used in construction of low-rise nonresidential buildings and in upkeep and improvement of existing structures. 

Solid wood is used extensively in various manufactured 

products, and nearly all manufactured products are shipped 

on wooden pallets. Solid wood also provides a renewable 

energy source for industrial, commercial, and residential 

applications.

Information on solid wood products production and foreign 

trade is collected annually by governmental agencies and 

industry associations. This information provides an overall 

look at how robust the wood-using sectors of the U.S. economy currently are and how their performance has changed 

over time (Howard 2007). It does not however provide 

detailed information specific to individual end-use markets 

needed to further evaluate changing patterns of consumption. End-use markets of interest include new single-family, 

multifamily, and manufactured housing construction, repair 

and remodeling of existing residential structures, low-rise 

nonresidential building and other types of nonresidential 

construction, furniture and other manufactured products 

production, and packaging and shipping. These end-use 

markets typically account for 80% to 90% of all solid wood 

products consumption. Studies to evaluate wood products 

consumption in each of these specific end-use markets have 

been conducted at irregular intervals by governmental agencies, industry associations, universities, industry consultants, 

and others. Each is designed to meet the investigator’s goals 

and budget. It is not uncommon for many years to go by 

between studies, nor is it uncommon for study procedures to

change, reducing compatibility between years and between 

end-use markets.

The objective of this study was to develop consistent consumption estimates across all the end-use markets identified 

above for the period 1950 to 2006 for lumber (softwood and 

hardwood), structural panels (softwood plywood and OSB), 

and nonstructural panels (hardwood plywood, particleboard, 

MDF, hardboard, insulation board, and similar wood panel 

products used primarily for nonstructural applications). 

Engineered wood products (prefabricated wood I-joists, 

glued-laminated timber, and structural composite lumber)

are typically designed to replace softwood dimension lumber. Because consumption is relatively small, engineered 

wood products were converted to their board foot equivalent 

and included with softwood lumber. In 2006, the cubic foot 

equivalent of all engineered wood products consumed was 

about 6% of domestic softwood lumber consumption.

Estimates of solid wood products consumption in major 

end-use markets reported here are based, in general, on findings from a limited number of public and private research 

reports, which were conducted at irregular intervals over the 

past 56 years. Information on wood products use from these 

reports was related to more readily available, annual economic indicators specific to each particular end-use market 

to develop end-use factors (that is, the amount of a specific 

wood product that was used during the year in which the 

study was conducted per unit of economic activity). Changes in (1) end-use factors over time, (2) other closely related 

indicators of consumption in the end-use market, and 

(3) economic indicators were then used to estimate wood 

products consumption for years between specific studies. 

For example, comprehensive studies of wood used for residential upkeep and improvements were conducted in 1991, 

1997, and 2003 (McKeever and Anderson 1993, Wood Products Council 1999a, 2005a). Information on expenditures in 

the United States for residential upkeep and improvements 

is collected annually by the U.S. Department of Commerce, 

Bureau of the Census (2007). Wood use estimates from 

the 1991, 1997, and 2003 studies were divided by constant 

dollar expenditures, resulting in estimates of the amount of 

each wood product used per dollar of expenditure. Use factors were estimated for intervening years based on trends 

in the reported use factors themselves and on trends in any 

identified related consumption indicators. This basic 

approach was used to estimate wood products consumption 

in each major end-use market. 

This approach to estimating end-use consumption is complicated by the facts that (a) never have all end-use markets 

been studied in the same year and (b) there will always be a 

portion of consumption for which we cannot account based 

on end-use studies. To balance consumption across all end 

uses in a specific year, the sum of consumption in all end 

uses was subtracted from total U.S. consumption to estimate 

“other” wood use. If other wood use was positive, and was 

no more than 20% of total consumption, end-use consumption was considered balanced for that year. If it were greater 

than 20%, then consumption was increased in those end uses 

where no study had been done recently by adjusting end-use 

factors. Conversely, if the sum of all end-use consumption 

was greater than total U.S. consumption, use factors were 

adjusted downward in end uses for which no study had been 

done recently to decrease consumption, until the other enduse category fell within the expected range.

This balancing of end-use consumption against total domestic consumption has been done in past RPA Assessment reports, but only for the specific years. See McKeever (2002) 

and Haynes et al. (2007) for the most recent RPA Assessment reports with balanced consumption.

Consumption Highlights

Overall, nearly 6.8 billion ft3 of solid wood was consumed 

in 2006 (Figure 1). (In this report, “billion” reflects the standard U.S. usage signifying 109.) This is down slightly from 

2004 and 2005 but still more than twice the solid wood 

content consumed in 1950. 

Lumber consumption in 2006 was 71.3 billion board feet, 

down slightly from the record-setting years of 2004 and 

2005 (Table 2). Softwood species accounted for 85% of all 

lumber consumed. Structural panel consumption in 2006 

was 39.8 billion ft2, 3/8-in. basis, also down slightly from 

the record setting years of 2004 and 2005. Oriented 

strandboard currently accounts for just under two-thirds 

of all structural panel consumption. Nonstructural panel 

consumption totaled 27 billion ft2, 3/8-in. basis, in 2006.

Construction

Construction is the largest overall market for solid wood 

in the United States. About 67% of all lumber, 81% of all 

structural panels, and 43% of all nonstructural panels 

consumed in 2006 were for construction (Tables 3 to 5). The 

share of all solid wood products used for construction has 

declined in the past 20 years; in 1986, it accounted for 72%, 

85%, and 62% for lumber, structural panels, and nonstructural panels, respectively. 

New Residential Construction

The construction of new single-family attached and detached houses, new multifamily apartments, and manufactured housing accounted for nearly 52% of all wood products used in construction in 2006, virtually unchanged from 

the 1980s and 1990s (Tables 5 and 6). Nearly 24 billion 

board feet of lumber, 18 billion ft2, 3/8-in. basis, of structural panels, and 6 billion ft2, 3/8-in. basis, of nonstructural 

panels were consumed for new residential construction in 

2006 (Tables 3 to 5, A1 to A3). Single-family houses used 

87%, multifamily units 8%, and manufactured housing 5% 

of the wood products used in new residential construction 

in 2006. The average single-family house now uses about

14,100 board feet of lumber, 11,000 ft2, 3/8-in. basis, of 

structural panels, and 3,400 ft2, 3/8-in. basis, of nonstructural panels (Table A1). Over the past 20 years, wood products 

use per unit of floor area has trended downward.

Residential Repair and Remodeling

Upkeep and improvements to residential units in the existing housing stock are an important market for timber products. Included are many and varied types of activities, some 

of which require substantial amounts of timber products, 

some of which do not. Residential repair and remodeling 

accounted for 37% of all wood products used in construction in 2006, up slightly from previous years. More 

than 18.6 billion board feet of lumber, 9.8 billion ft2, 

3/8-in. basis, of structural panels, and 4.0 billion ft2, 

3/8-in. basis, of nonstructural panels were consumed for 

residential repair and remodeling in 2006 (Tables 3 to 5, 

A4). Over the past 20 years, residential repair and remodeling became a more important market for wood-based 

building products. Prior to 1986, the residential repair and 

remodeling market for wood products was equivalent to 

about 45% of the new single-family residential construction 

market. Since then, it has been equivalent to about 80%. 

Nonresidential Construction

New nonresidential construction is a diverse mixture of new 

buildings and other structures, and construction that does 

not include a building or structure as such. Nonresidential 

buildings include stores, restaurants, office buildings, warehouses, hotels and motels, factories, schools, religious buildings, hospitals, and nonresidential farm buildings. Other 

nonresidential construction that does not include a building 

include streets and highways; water and sewer systems; 

dams; military, conservation, and development projects; railroad construction, except new and replacement track; and 

other similar types of nonbuilding construction. All nonresidential construction accounted for about 12% of wood used 

in construction in 2006. Little change in this percentage has 

occurred over the past 20 years. Nearly 5.2 billion board feet 

of lumber, 4.1 billion ft2, 3/8-in. basis of structural panels, 

and 1.7 billion ft2, 3/8-in. basis, of nonstructural panels were 

consumed for nonresidential construction in 2006 (Tables 3 

to 5, A5, A6). Total wood use for nonresidential construction 

averages between 20% and 30% of that for new residential 

construction.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing industries in the United States produce a variety of products. Some of these products are made entirely 

from wood, some from combinations of wood and nonwood 

materials, and many are made with no wood at all. Many 

wood and nonwood products require the use of wood jigs, 

models, patterns, flasks, and other wood products during 

their production. Manufacturing activities in the United 

States accounted for about 8% of the lumber, 11% of the 

structural panels, and 48% of the nonstructural panels consumed in 2006 (Tables 3 to 5, A7, A8). In recent years, 

solid wood products have lost manufacturing market share. 

Nearly 5.3 billion board feet of lumber, 2.4 billion ft2, 

3/8-in. basis, of structural panels, and 7.1 billion ft2, 

3/8-in. basis, of nonstructural panels were consumed for 

manufacturing in 2006. Furniture and fixtures manufacturing currently accounts for about half of all lumber and 

nonstructural panels and about a third of all structural 

panels used in manufacturing.

Packaging and Shipping

Packaging and shipping includes pallets, boxes, crates, hampers, baskets, and other wooden containers; and dunnage, 

blocking, and bracing required in the transportation, handling, 

and storage of industrial, agricultural, and military products. 

About 12% of the lumber and 2% or less of the structural 

and nonstructural panels consumed in 2006 were for packaging and shipping (Tables 3 to 5, A9). This translates into 

8.6 billion board feet of lumber, 0.8 billion ft2, 3/8-in. basis, 

of structural panels, and 0.2 billion ft2, 3/8-in. basis, of nonstructural panels being consumed for packaging and shipping in 2006. Wooden pallets currently use about 90% of all 

Figure 1—Combined wood products consumption in the United States by end use, 1950–2006.

lumber and 70% of all structural panels used for packaging 

and shipping.

All Other Uses

Other uses include upkeep and improvement of nonresidential structures; roof supports and other construction in 

mines; made-at-home or do-it-yourself projects such as 

furniture, boats, and picnic tables; made-on-the-job products 

such as advertising and display structures; and various other 

activities not captured in specific end-use categories. Other 

uses accounted for about 15% of all solid wood products 

consumed in 2006 (Table 6 and 7). 

Summary and Conclusions

Wood products are vital to the strength and well being of 

the U.S. economy. Since 2000, total annual wood products 

consumption has averaged in excess of 6.5 billion ft3. Construction is by far the greatest consumer of wood products, 

accounting for about two-thirds of total consumption, about 

half of which is new residential construction. Information on 

consumption in specific end-use markets provides important 

insights into the strength of the market, and how factors affecting the market affect consumption.
