Lumber is used in both domestic and international shipping. It is used in premade and custom built pallets as well as in pre made and custom built crates.
Susanna Kim in an article posted by on ABC news noted that lumber prices are currently on the rise. She questions if the increase in prices could stall the recovery of the housing market. Here in Houston, we are seeing more and more building for both single family and multifamily residences.
With housing prices rising for the past six months, the back log of families looking for new homes may force lumber prices higher.
For the shipping industry, it may also mean higher prices for any use of lumber. This includes the crates, pallets as well as wood used for blocking and bracing valuable items.
With lumber prices on the rise, analysts are watching whether the commodity could cause a logjam in the recovery of the housing market.
With reference to the logging industry, Susanna Kim notes: “The industry's profit margins are relatively low; over the past year it has had a 0.3 percent net margin on average, he said. Compared with 2006, there are 23 percent fewer businesses in the logging industry today, according to the North American Industry Classification system used by the Census Bureau”
