The demand for timber in China is still being driven by favorable long-term fundamentals. As a result of the substantial urbanization trend, an additional 7-8 million new dwellings will be necessary by 2020. According to Margules Groome Publication, the Chinese government intends to accomplish a 60% urbanization rate by 2020 and a 70% urbanization rate by 2030. Consequently, an additional 50 million new residences will be necessary by that date. The demand for more expansive and high-quality residences is on the rise, as evidenced by the 6.9% annual growth in GDP per person. Wood frame construction is currently a marginal participant in China, accounting for less than 0.05% of the residential construction sector. Since the market's development potential has been increasingly recognized, numerous demonstration projects for wooden buildings have been developed.
