SUMMARYStatistics are available from quarterly pulpwoodand pulp chip inventories (tables 9.1 and 9.3).Since 1987 an annual survey of coniferous sawlogsis performed (tables 9.1 and 9.2).Statistics Sweden (SCB) and the WoodMeasurement Council are the main producers ofstatistics for industrial wood consumption. Everyfifth year special sawmill inventories are carriedout by Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences(SLU). The most recent inventory from2000 covers structure and capacity rates andincludes figures on the consumption of roundwood(tables 9.4 to 9.11).10 Forest industry productionBreak down of 2002 production of forest industry products:Sawn softwood: 16.5 P million m 3Wood pulp: 11.4 million tons (sulphate pulp 7.4 million tons; mechanical pulp 3.0 milliontons; sulphite pulp 0.7 million tons; and semi-chemical pulp 0.3 million tons)Market pulp: 4.0 million tonsPaper and paperboard: 10.7 million tonsFibreboard: 295,000 m³Particle board: 564,000 m ³Plywood: 87,000 m ³ .P. Preliminary figures.This chapter covers structure and productiondata for wood consuming industry.The first section contains information aboutthe sawmill industry. The latest SLU specialstructure and capacity study is from 2001 and isbased on data from 2000 (figure 10.7 and tables10.1, 10.2 and10.3). Statistics Sweden producessawn softwood statistics in a monthly study (tables10.5 and 10.6). The Wood Measurement Councilproduces statistics in an annual study. Theresults from the three investigations differ.However, the National Board of Forestry has formany years used the results from the monthlyinvestigation for both international reporting andin our own analysis. From now we have decidedto use the results from the investigation which ismade by the Wood Measurement Council (table10.4).Data on the production of impregnated wood,by-products and the type of agent is available(table 10.7), as is information regarding location,ownership and pulp and paper industry capacity(figures 10.7 and 10.8).The production of pulp, paper and paperboardare shown in tables 10.8, 10.9 and 10.10. Thesource for table 10.9 is Statistics Sweden and theSwedish Forest Industries Federation is responsiblefor 10.8 and 10.10. Statistics on the production ofpulp differ slightly between the two sources. Themain reason is temporal. Statistics Sweden carriesout their research on an annual basis and thefederation collects information every month andcollate their data at the end of the year. Anotherreason could be that Statistics Sweden omitscompanies with fewer than 50 employees. Companyreporting may also differ.Production statistics for wood-based panels arecollated by the Swedish Federation of Wood andFurniture Industry (table 10.11). Informationabout waste paper and paperboard is also produced(table 10.12 and figure 10.5).Apparent consumption volumes for some forestindustry products are calculated fromproduction and foreign trade statistics (table 10.13)Note that stock fluctuation is not included.306
