Wood is Responsible for 4%
of the World’s Economy
Wood is vital to the global economy in ways we don’t often notice.
From utility poles to anti-tumor treatments extracted from trees,
manufactured wood products and processes contribute to reduced
fossil fuel dependency and create healthier, safer and more
sustainable communities.
If you think woodworking is just for hobbyists, that the wood industry has seen its best day, or taken a back seat to metals and plastics, think again. Wood is a sustainable economic engine that is in more demand than ever.
The Future is Unsustainable
With modern forestry practices focused on sustainable harvesting, the rise in demand for green buildings, and emerging wood technologies increasingly being used in commercial buildings, wood is good for more than just business.
The Industry Is Stagnant
The wood industry is expected to grow by 4.6% annually through 2025, which is driven by increased demand for high-quality flooring, cabinetry, furniture and other uses for wood products.
It’s All Low-Tech Work
High-tech skills in engineering and software are in high demand, and automation and robotic machinery are among the emerging trends in the wood industry and modern manufacturing.
A Home For Creators
From craftsman to carpenters, builders and designers, the wood industry has many ways to put your passion to work and make a career out of something you love or something you love or to use the skills you have.
