Canada's March lumber production increased by 12.9% month-over-month but decreased by 10.5% year-over-year.

According to Statistics Canada, sawn lumber production in March 2026 increased by 12.9% month-over-month to 3,871,400 cubic meters. However, this figure represents a 10.5% decrease year-over-year. While this indicates a short-term recovery in production, it suggests that the lumber industry continues to face structural changes or persistent downward pressure on demand in the long term.
