The Lumber & Wood Production industry is comprised of companies that harvest, process, and distribute lumber and wood products. These products include lumber, plywood, veneers, wood containers, wood flooring, wood trusses, and prefabricated wood buildings. The industry also includes companies that produce wood chips, sawdust, and other wood byproducts. The industry is highly dependent on the availability of timber, which is often sourced from forests. The industry is also subject to fluctuations in the housing market, as demand for lumber and wood products is closely tied to the construction of new homes.
