Wood - the material Australians love
As a material, wood occupies a unique place in Australian lives and markets. It is familiar to every person of every age and ubiquitous, providing form, function, fuel and more. Wood is so prevalent that paradoxically, it is often unnoticed.
Unifying a fragmented industry
The Australian forest and wood products industry is historically segmented and diverse. From forest growers and saw millers to importers, merchants and manufacturers, the industry is a major employer with approximately 76,800 people and an annual turnover of $23.0 billion.
Researching people's attitudes to wood
Consumer research (both qualitative tracking and quantitative), has informed the planning and ongoing development of Wood. Naturally Better.™
