The timber and lumber industry enters 2026 in a period of cautious stabilization<\/strong>. After several years of weak margins, slower housing activity and supply-chain challenges, conditions are beginning to settle. Cost pressure, changing construction trends and uneven regional demand are still present, but early signs point toward gradual improvement as residential building steadies and demand for sustainable materials grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
