Critical wear of logging equipment in the Russian Federation

Critical wear of logging equipment in the Russian Federation will exceed 90% by 2028

The Russian timber industry is on the verge of a serious technical crisis. According to market analysis, by 2028, the depreciation of logging equipment in the country will exceed 90%, which will pose a threat to the functioning of the entire industry.

Key issues
The main challenges facing the industry:

Critical wear and tear: In 2-3 years, more than 90% of the logging equipment fleet will reach its service life.
Shortage of equipment: The demand ranges from 3.5 to 10 thousand units of various types of equipment
Lack of domestic capacities: The Russian machine building industry is not able to provide the necessary volumes of supplies

IndicatorCurrent statusForecast for 2028
Equipment wear and tearTall>90%
The need for technology3.5-10 thousand unitsGrowing
Domestic productionNot enoughRequires development

Expert assessment
“We will definitely not reach the volume that we all need in two or three years,” said Nikolai Ivanov, Vice President of Segezha Group.

Necessary measures
The problem needs to be included in the LPC development strategy developed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade until 2035, since this critical issue is not addressed in the current strategy.

Implications for the industry
Without an early solution to the problem of technical support, Russian logging enterprises may face:

• Forced reduction of harvesting volumes
• An increase in the cost of production
• Loss of competitive positions in the global market

Recommendations
To prevent a crisis, urgent measures are needed to:

• Development of an industry-specific technology upgrade program
• Stimulating domestic engineering
• Attracting investments in the modernization of the park
