South & Central America Sawmill Machinery Market Forecast to 2031 - Regional Analysis - by Type (Fixed Sawmills and Portable Sawmills) and Application (Woodworking Industry and Forestry)

The South & Central America sawmill machinery market was valued at US$ 63.53 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 79.04 million by 2031; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 2.8% from 2023 to 2031.

Rising Utilization of Sawmill Byproducts in Biomass Energy Production Fuels South & Central America Sawmill Machinery Market

The sawmilling operation in converting wood logs into lumber resulted in the production of byproducts such as hog fuel, wood chips, shavings, sawdust, trim blocks, cross-cut timbers, and others. From the byproducts mentioned above, the wood pellets and compressed wood bricks are produced and burned with high efficiency and lower carbon emissions to produce combined heat and power for various industrial applications. In addition, demand for power generated from renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, wood biomass, geothermal, and others is expected to increase in the coming years, which will eventually fuel the requirement for wood biomass products. According to the US Energy Information Administration, the electricity generated from biomass and waste in the world was valued at 3,024 trillion British thermal units (BTU) in 2022, which increased from 2,988 trillion (BTU) in 2021. Such a rise in power generation from wood biomass resulted in fueling the demand for wood biomass raw materials produced from sawmilling, which is anticipated to fuel the demand for sawmill machinery during the forecast period.

Government initiatives toward net zero emissions and energy transition goals across the world are expected to boost the demand for biomass-based energy production in the coming years. Thus, the rise in government initiatives toward the promotion of wood biomass to produce bioenergy from wood biomass products is expected to create opportunities for the companies operating in the sawmill machinery market as the demand for sawmill byproducts is expected to rise from 2023 to 2031.

South & Central America Sawmill Machinery Market Overview

Suitable climate conditions of South America boost the growth of trees, establishing a standard environment for effective pulpwood production. Abundant sunshine, rainfall, and fertile land allow trees to flourish. Additionally, the region's access to abundant water sources, incorporating rivers, further intensifies its reputation as a prime setting for pulp production. Furthermore, South America's vast land resources play a vital role in facilitating large-scale pulp production. The extensive landscapes offer sufficient space for developing widespread plantations of pulpwood trees and confirm a reliable resource of raw materials for the industry. The plenty of land also accelerates the formation of large-scale pulp mills for ideal production competence. The demand for sawmill machinery is rising in the region owing to advancements in the wood and wood-based product industries in South America. In 2021, Suzano, one of the leading eucalyptus pulp producer companies, announced the construction of a new pulp plant with an expected annual production capacity of 2.3 million tons. The US$ 2.8 billion project is one of the largest private sector investments in Brazil. The eucalyptus pulp plant started its production in Q1 2024 in Brazil. Such developments are acting as a major driver for the sawmill machinery market growth in South America.
