Southeast Asia

Southeast Asia has long supported worldwide timber demand. However, the supply and demand situation for natural forest timber has tightened up in recent years, with a decline in forested land and stricter control of illegal logging.
Sumitomo Forestry is working to provide a stable timber supply over the long term by increasing production capacity and through advancing large-scale forestation.

In line with economic growth in China, the local timber and building materials markets are rapidly expanding, and housing demand is also showing a sudden upsurge. As such, Sumitomo Forestry will take steps to respond to the growing demand for timber, wooden building materials and housing by strengthening its business operations and through regional market development in East Asia.
