What percentage of Burma teak logs did Bangalore consume out of India’s total imports before Burma banned teak log exports in 2014?

Prior to 2014, when Myanmar (formerly Burma) banned the export of teak logs, Burma teak was a significant portion of India’s timber imports. Specifically in Bangalore, which is a major hub for wood and timber industries, the consumption of Burma teak was substantial. Though precise city-specific statistics for Bangalore aren’t widely available, the trade estimates suggest that up to 75-80% of burma teak imported were consumed in Bangalore city alone. Which means the rest 20- 25% was used in the rest of India.

Which meant burma teak being one of the most premium timber being used to this staggering extent in Bangalore city shows very evidently how quality conscious this market is.

But Unfortunately, the 2014 export ban by Myanmar had a significant impact on timber industries across cities like Bangalore, where Burma teak was prized for its quality, durability, and aesthetics. This led to a sharp decrease in availability and pushed the market to explore alternative sources and substitutes for premium wood.
