UK round fencing manufacturers data from 1999 to 2019 includes counts of manufacturers and softwood consumption. The dataset is broken down by UK country, mill size, and softwood source (UK grown or imported). It is produced by the Forestry Commission and released twice yearly, with final figures published in September.
Use Cases
- Analyze regional manufacturing trends based on breakdowns for England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
- Assess supply chain dependencies based on the source of softwood (UK grown vs. imported).
- Study industry structure based on the size of mill categorizations.
- Track long-term consumption patterns based on data spanning 1999 to 2019.
Strengths
- Covers a 20-year time range from 1999 to 2019.
- Provides breakdowns by UK country, mill size, and softwood source.
- Released twice yearly with provisional and final figures.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
