Pulp mills and sawmills in Finland
WoodComp tracks 21 operating pulp mills and 64 sawmills in Finland, with capacity, status and location as open data. Finland holds 22.5 M ha of forest, 74 % of its land area, led by Scots pine and Norway spruce. The fibre balance below sets their estimated wood demand against the national removals.

Introduced species hold 0.1 % of the reported growing stock. FAO ranks the ten largest native and five largest introduced species, together 99.9 % of the total.
The facilities on this page report Spruce (64), Pine (59), Birch (13), Mixed Hardwood (2) and Mixed Softwood (2) as furnish. The species matching that demand hold 96.6 % of the growing stock. Removals by species are not reported internationally, so this is a comparison of demand and standing forest, not a balance.
Fibre balance
betaestimated industry demand vs reported removals
Estimate. The demand side covers only the facilities WoodComp has mapped, at reported capacity, converted with published factors. Removals are official statistics.
Sawlogs
Removals24.6 M m3/y23.5 coniferous, 1 non-coniferous
Estimated sawmill intake~23.8 M m3/y97 % of removals, from 52 of 64 operating sawmills
Pulp fibre
Pulpwood removals29.1 M m3/y21.9 coniferous, 7.1 non-coniferous
Sawmill chips, estimated7.4-9.8 M m3/y30-40 % of sawlog removals, joins the pulp fibre supply
Estimated pulp-mill wood demand39.4-54.1 M m3/y101-148 % of estimated supply, from 16 of 21 operating pulp mills
Demand is derived at render time from reported capacities and the published factor table: sawn output at 2.0 m3 of log per m3 sawn, pulp at 2.3 to 5.3 m3 per tonne depending on process and furnish. Sawmill chips are estimated at 30 to 40 percent of sawlog removals (FAO conversion factor material balances) and shown as their own supply component, never merged with the removals. Log imports and exports are not modelled, and demand above the estimated supply can mean either imports or capacity above actual production. Where coverage is low the balance measures our dataset, not the market.
Forest, species and production figures: FAO FRA 2025 and FAOSTAT (2024-2025). Increment and fellings: Eurostat European Forest Accounts (2023), forest available for wood supply, over bark. Removals by assortment: Eurostat roundwood removals (2023), under bark.
