Which lumber/wood products mills are covered?
The Asset Database—and by extension the set of mills included in the Analytical Cornerstone cost‑benchmarking tool—primarily focuses on softwood mills. This reflects Fastmarkets’ historical emphasis on softwood production. As a result, coverage of hardwood mills and structural composite lumber (SCL) facilities is limited, and these mill types are not included extensively in the database.
Regional Coverage
- Lumber and non‑structural panel mills: Coverage is centered on North America, where data availability and industry relevance are strongest.
- Structural panel mills: Coverage extends across North America and select regions of Europe, reflecting the geographic concentration of these production assets.
