The Forest Industry is a sector of the forestry industry that encompasses the harvesting, processing, and marketing of timber and other forest products. It is a major contributor to the global economy, providing employment and income to millions of people around the world. The industry is divided into two main sectors: the primary sector, which involves the harvesting and processing of timber, and the secondary sector, which involves the marketing and distribution of timber and other forest products. The primary sector of the forest industry is responsible for the harvesting and processing of timber, which is then sold to the secondary sector. This sector is highly dependent on the availability of timber, and is subject to fluctuations in the global market. The secondary sector of the forest industry is responsible for the marketing and distribution of timber and other forest products. This sector is also subject to fluctuations in the global market, but is less dependent on the availability of timber. Some of the major companies in the forest industry include Weyerhaeuser, International Paper, Georgia-Pacific, West Fraser Timber, and Resolute Forest Products.
