Single and Multi-Client Research

In an age of bare-bones budgets for internal analysts, you can think of FEA’s analysts as your out-sourced team of economists. In addition to our subscription research products, FEA analysts produce single and multi-client reports that examine issues that may not be covered in depth in our regular reports. Call our team to discuss any project you have in mind.

Who could benefit from FEA timber forecast services?

Strategic planners, senior executives, purchasing managers, sales managers, investment analysts, and other stakeholders in the timber industry use FEA forecasts to answer questions such as:

“Where are Douglas fir sawlog prices headed over the next year?

“What will my wood costs look like in five years?”

“How will the emerging biomass sector affect traditional timber markets over the next five years?”

“Do the underlying supply and demand fundamentals support our decision to purchase timberlands in the Atlantic South?”

“How will the Mountain Pine beetle situation evolve? Are there any similar threats on the horizon?”
