Countries Generating Greatest Surpluses Trading Sawn Wood

The following countries posted the highest positive net exports for sawn wood during 2025. Investopedia defines net exports as the value of a country’s total exports minus the value of its total imports. Thus, the statistics below present the surplus between the value of each country’s sawn wood exports and its import purchases for that same commodity.

Canada: US$5.6 billion (net export surplus down -8.5% since 2024)
Sweden: $4.2 billion (up 15.2%)
Russia: $3 billion (down -20.4%)
Finland: $2.5 billion (up 25.8%)
Austria: $1.5 billion (up 27.6%)

Ukraine: $443.2 million (up 12%)
Croatia: $406.6 million (up 3.9%)
Cameroon: $404.3 million (up 36%)

Sawn-wood exports leader Canada generated the highest surplus in the international trade of sawn wood, albeit it shrank compared to 2024. Nevertheless, this positive cashflow confirms Canada’s strong competitive advantage for this specific product category.

Countries Causing Worst Deficits Trading Sawn Wood

The following countries posted the highest negative net exports for sawn wood during 2025. Investopedia defines net exports as the value of a country’s total exports minus the value of its total imports. Thus, the statistics below present the deficit between the value of each country’s sawn wood import purchases and its exports for that same commodity.

mainland China: -US$6.3 billion (net export deficit down -6.9% since 2024)
United States: -$4.9 billion (down -4.5%)
United Kingdom: -$2.5 billion (up 13.1%)

South Korea: -$403 million (down -13.3%)
Morocco: -$380 million (up 22.4%)
Algeria: -$368.6 million (down -4.3%)

Mainland China and the United States of America incurred the highest deficits in the international trade of sawn wood. In turn, these negative cashflows highlight both players’ comparative competitive disadvantages for this specific product category but also signals opportunities for sawn wood-supplying countries that help satisfy the powerful demand from the American economy.
