Teakwood Market Updates

Global Teakwood Market size was valued at USD 44.0 billion in 2023 and is poised to grow from USD 47.83 billion in 2024 to USD 93.22 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 8.7% during the forecast period (2025-2032). 

Teak's aesthetic and physical qualities have earned it a global reputation as a premium timber, with a huge cultural reputation in markets such as India and China, as well as a quality reputation in the dominant markets of North America and Europe. This reputation was founded on high-quality timber from natural forests, which is now in short supply, with Myanmar remaining the sole exporter of saw logs from organic teak forests. Wood from mature teak plantations (>50 years old) in India, Thailand, and Indonesia fetches prices comparable to native teak. Competition for these mature resources is likely to increase, as will prices, with a market response expected to be a shift to younger teak of smaller sizes.

Farmers can diversify farm production, support food security, generate income, and reduce financial risk by using teak-based small-scale production systems. Teak plantations are an important alternative source of high-quality timber for the wood industry. Furthermore, Teak clonal forestry has proven to be effective in establishing fast-growing industrial stands with high yields, good wood quality, and commercial value. Using outstanding and site-adapted genotypes, the clonal option appears to be the best way to maximise returns on investments in the shortest period of time. With retail businesses applying voluntary verification (sustainability) standards and/or governments introducing involuntary regulatory (legality) compliance systems that influence market access and acceptance, the global teak wood markets have become increasingly sensitive to timber sourced illegally or unsustainably. There is now a greater emphasis on trade and aid policies to encourage developing countries to adopt more sustainable forest management approaches and reduce instances of illegal forest product trade. The major change occurring within international markets is that demonstrating sustainability is no longer a primary requirement for market access; management and governance systems must now demonstrate a commitment to product legality and supply transparency. These factors are expected to drive the global Teakwood market over the forecast year.

Tracking and tracing technologies have been implemented as a result of the growing demand for transparency in supply chains and strict government regulations on the timber industry. To maintain transparency in their timber supply chain, many timber companies have implemented their tracking systems. Wood companies and government agencies are favouring electronic tracking over paper-based systems, and techniques such as radio-frequency identification chips, barcodes, and advanced traceability software are being used. For instance, the Forest Stewardship Council, a leading non-profit organization, has created an Online Claims Platform to provide FSC Certificate holders with timely information about FSC products and the businesses that manufacture them. This allows FSC-certified suppliers and customers to connect digitally.

In the Global Teakwood Market, Asia-Pacific led the market, accounting for more than XX% of global revenue in 2021. India accounts for approximately 75% of global teak trade, followed by Thailand, China, and Vietnam. Myanmar is the largest supplier to all of these markets, with a supply maintained through native forest harvesting. The remainder of the trade is made up of a large number of teak growers in Central and South America, Africa, and Asia, all of whom depend on plantation-grown resources. Pricing and trade flow patterns for these four major importing countries, as well as Lao PDR and other suppliers, have been established, quantified, and trading partnerships identified using data from the Global Trade Atlas, the Indian Directorate General of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics (DGCIS), and the databases of Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, and Lao Customs.
