MEDIA BACKGROUNDER
Products: During 2010 -2012, the industry was still recovering from the recession and
making strategic investments for future growth. Hence, the progress shown does not yet
capture the full extent of the effort being made by the industry and its partners. Further
improvements are expected as the global recovery takes hold, new innovative products come
on stream and markets are diversified. Preliminary figures for the 2013 period show wood
exports went up 27% and the GDP for the forest products industry increased by 3.4%, faster
than the overall economy at 2%. In addition, while developing this first report card, FPAC
realized that the way it accounts for economic growth needs to evolve since the Statistics
Canada measurement of economic activity in the forest sector does not include bio-energy and
other bio-products created by our companies.
