The spring of 2016 has seen a gradual improvement in market conditions throughout the mainland of UK. I have looked at three main market areas to try and identify the market trends in each area.After a harsh downturn in late 2015 the market has stabilised over the winter and now started to slowly creep back upwards, this is largely supply driven. There has been a steady weakening of the pound against the euro over the first half of 2016. This is now making the importers look to increase their UK selling prices, there is however still a lot of imported carcassing timber in the supply chain. The outlook for the UK timber market hopefully remains one of modest recovery.
