Mr. Petteri Pihlajamäki, currently a Director at Pöyry Management Consulting, has over 25 years of experience in 

strategic planning and development of forestry and forest industry worldwide. He holds an M.Sc. in forestry from

 University of Helsinki and an M.Sc. in Business Economics from Helsinki School of Economics and Business 

Administration.

Mr. Pihlajamäki has gained extensive expertise in combining complex issues, such as fibre resources, markets,

competitiveness and environmental information, into strategic plans. He has advised companies and governments 

in how to improve performance and increase value.

Mr. Pihlajamäki has accumulated practical project experience since the 1990s; at first a management and later a 

supervisory role. He has gained also extensive field experience in assignments in Russia and Eastern Europe, India, 

South-East Asia, East Africa, Latin America and the USA.


Presentation Outline:

Global fibre and biomass markets are undergoing major changes. The growth of forest product markets, particularly

in China and Asia, is putting an increasingly large pressure on regional and global forest resources. The key question

is how to meet this demand.

Plantation forests have become a major source of incremental fibre supply. However, competition for land combined

with cost inflation are reducing their competitive advantage, and new solutions for plantation forestry are required.

Russia remains a major untapped resource basin, but major challenges for increased harvest remain also there.

New forest-based products and bioenergy uses for wood are developed actively, which increases competition 

for limited raw material resources.
