The Timber Market Survey (TMS) provides comprehensive information on timber price movements and market trends in Australia. The TMS report is published quarterly. It contains national price indexes for a range of timber products, as well as an update on economic conditions influencing wood product markets and the latest trade data. TMS price data are collected through quarterly surveys of a representative sample of timber market participants in eastern Australia. The TMS reports for the March and September quarters contain pricing information for softwood timber, panel and engineered wood products. The June and December quarter reports also include hardwood timber products.

The TMS is prepared by URS Forestry. Funding is provided by Forest and Wood Products Australia, Forests NSW, Timber Queensland, VicForests, HVP Plantations, Forestry Plantations Queensland, the Department of Environment and Resource Management Queensland, Forestry Tasmania, ForestrySA and the Forest Products Commission Western Australia.
