Description

List of Tables

The Forest Harvesters & Forest Forwarders Market was valued at USD 2.89 billion in 2023, expected to reach USD 3.02 billion in 2024, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.95%, to USD 4.06 billion by 2030.

The Forest Harvesters & Forest Forwarders market revolves around machinery and technology used in logging operations to efficiently remove and transport timber. Forest harvesters are specialized vehicles that fell, de-limb, and cut trees into logs, while forest forwarders transport these logs from within the forest to roadside or processing locations. The necessity for these machines is driven by the need for forestry companies to increase productivity, ensure worker safety, and promote sustainable forestry practices. Application ranges from conventional logging operations to more sophisticated, environmentally-conscious methods that involve selective cutting and low-impact extraction. End-users primarily include logging companies, forest contractors, and government agencies focused on forestry management.
