Taiwan's timber consumption has changed dramatically over the past three decades in response to rapid economic growth, development of forest products industries, and improvement in standard of people's living. The purpose of this paper is to analyze and estimate current timber consumption. At present, more than 83 percent of timber consumed is imported. Total timber consumption is estimated to be 6.38 million m^3 in 1985. Of that volume, plywood accounted for 25% to about 1.6 million m^3, furniture 31% to about 2.0 million m^3, pulp 21% to about 1.35 million m^3, construction 13% to about 0.7-0.08 million m^3, sleepers 0.3% to about 20 thousand m^3, and mining 1.3% to about 80 thousand m^3.
The demand for veneer logs is expected to decrease continuously in the future in response to the competition of Indonesia's plywood both in foreign and domestic markets. On the other hand, the demand for pulpwood and lumber, especially hardwood lumber, is expected to increase along with economic growth and increasing export of wooden furniture. The total demand of 6.38 million m^3in 1985 is expected to decrease to 5.8 million m^3 in 1990, falling at 1.8% annually.
