The market can be divided into species groups or into products. So are known the markets of parts, sawed woods, boards, furniture and furniture parts among others. Another well known way, especially among the Anglo-Saxons, is to divide the markets into "softwoods" and "hardwoods". In case of Peru , the wood products mainly come from hardwoods from the tropical forest.

Peru is located among the 20 biggest countries in the world and counts with one fourth of the tropical forest of the planet as well as an impressive tree population which has more than 2,500 wood species.
