Parquet consumption continues to progress in the EU, benefiting from the encouraging economic context, especially from the growth of the European consumption, and the positive trends shown by the construction sector.<\/em><\/p>\n

Regretfully, Germany, the biggest European market for parquet, has officially reported a significant decline in parquet consumption. The consolidated data provided by the FEP (European Federation of the Parquet Industry) member companies and affiliated national associations are at present pointing to a slight growth of the global European market of 0,3% in 2017 compared to 2016.<\/p>\n

As usual, the results show some variation from country to country. The production in FEP territory confirms its growth by 2,6% and exceeds significantly the 72 million square meter threshold.<\/p>\n

It is important to note that, as of 2016, figures from Croatia, Estonia, Portugal and Slovenia are considered in the general FEP overview. The European production outside FEP countries is at an estimated 14,5 million square meters \u2013 9 million square meters produced in EU countries and 5,5 million square meters in European non-EU countries.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The total production in FEP territory rose by 2,60% to a volume of 72.184.490 m\u00b2. Taking into
\naccount the total production in Europe (FEP countries + non-FEP countries in Europe) implies that
\nproduction in 2017 increased by 2,15% and exceeded 86,7 million m\u00b2.<\/p>\n

Consumption in the FEP area improved by 0,3%, to a level of 79.249.514 m\u00b2.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The 2017 total parquet production per type remains similar to the picture already presented from
\n2010 onwards, whereby multilayer comes in first with 81% (compared to 80% in 2016), being
\nfollowed by solid (including lamparquet) with 17% (compared to 18%) and mosaic at 2% of the total
\ncake.<\/p>\n

In absolute production figures by country, Poland maintains its top position at 19,17%. Sweden
\nconsolidates its second place on the podium with 15,50%. It is followed by Austria at 13,06%, while
\nGermany comes in as fourth (10,47%).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Consumption in the FEP area rose by 0.3% to reach 79.249.514 m\u00b2 compared to 79.014.520 m2
\nthe\u00a0year before.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In terms of consumption per country, Germany remains in first position, despite its declining market,
\nwith 21,21% and is followed by France at 10,70%. Sweden completes the podium with 9,98%. The
\nNordic Cluster at 8,40% keeps the fourth seat. Austria with 8,13% takes back its fifth position from
\nItaly (8,02%) while Switzerland (7,87%) comes in seventh position only.<\/p>\n

As regards the per capita parquet consumption, Sweden keeps the first seat (0,78 m2) before Austria
\n(0,74 m\u00b2) and Switzerland (0.73 m2). In the total FEP area, the consumption per inhabitant remains
\nstable at 0,18 m\u00b2 in 2017.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Use of wood species<\/strong><\/p>\n

The usage of wood species in 2017 as shown on the above graph indicates that the share of oak
\nremains stable and reaches 80,6% compared to 80,8% in 2016. Tropical wood species use continues
\nto represent 4,0% of used wood. Ash and beech remain the two other most common chosen species
\nwith 6,2% and 2,4% (compared to 5,7% and 2,5% in 2016) respectively.<\/p>\n

Outlook for 2018 & 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

After several years of a challenging situation, the general trends on the parquet market eventually
\nturned positive in 2016 and progressed further in 2017. The results after the first quarter of the
\ncurrent year point to a continuation of the moderately positive parquet consumption trends with the
\nexception of Germany which is again reporting a significant decrease. All other European markets are
\ngenerally in a positive mood and experience slight growth.<\/p>\n

Projects are the main driver of the market although renovation should create additional activity. As
\nthe economic picture at European level, and for the construction sector in particular, continues to
\nimprove steadily, the captains of the parquet industry consider that parquet will benefit from these
\ndevelopments throughout the year 2018.<\/p>\n

In general, and in spite of the long and wet winter, the availability of raw material is not a critical
\nissue for the time being. Nevertheless, as long as oak represents more than 80% of the wood used to
\nproduce parquet, any variation in its availability can be problematic for the industry. Furthermore, as
\nefficient harvesting has been demanded from forest-owners and sawmillers, small formats are now
\nunfortunately lacking.<\/p>\n

Although the competition from \u201cwood look flooring substitutes\u201d remains harsh and the widespread
\nmisuse of the PARQUET denomination causes a growing and unjust confusion at consumer level,
\nparquet remains the genuine original, the only flooring solution made of sustainable and renewable
\nraw material Real Wood, coming from sustainably managed and expanding forests.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
