Since the mid-nineteenth century, timber trade has expanded globally. However, Asian timber trade has not been fully elucidated as Europe has been the center of the world timber trade. This study examines the Asian timber trade of the late nineteenth century and 1930s from the perspective of the use of forest resources in the Asian industrialization. A brief overview of the world timber trade will bepresented. The Asian timber trade in four periods--the late nineteenth century prior toWorld War I, during World War I, the 1920s, and the 1930s--will be examined. Moreover, the factors that define timber trade and the formation and development of the world timber market will be discussed. The results of the study show that although the Asian timber trade volume was small compared to those of Europe, it increased steadily with changing supply areas.}, pages = {1--27}, title = {Timber Trade in Industrialization of Modern Asia}, year = {2021} }
