In view of the good industry situation, sales growth for the whole of 2018 for the German wood industry is also expected to increase by up to 3%.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The wood industry mainly consists of the wood industry and the furniture industry.\u00a0Here, the turnover of the wood industry in the first half of 2018 grew significantly by 5.2% to \u20ac 8.6 billion.\u00a0The furniture industry grew by 1% to \u20ac 9.1 billion.\u00a0The growth of the furniture industry almost exclusively came from the successful export business.\u00a0Domestic furniture sales stagnated.<span id=\"more-17767\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The timber industry also profited from the good international business, but was also able to gain slightly inland as well.\u00a0Construction activity is an important factor for almost all segments of the timber industry, as most companies are directly or indirectly dependent on the construction industry.\u00a0They build, supply building materials and floor coverings or set up the finished living space.\u00a0After the boom of the past years, building permits are currently declining, only in multi-family housing are currently registered increases.\u00a0According to Schw\u00f6rer, this has different effects on the individual segments of the timber industry:<\/p>\n<p>Against the background of the cooling construction activity, the sales increase in the largest subsegment of the wood industry slowed down in the year to\u00a0date: the construction-\u00a0related area\u00a0.\u00a0This includes the manufacturers of prefabricated houses, windows, doors, stairs and other wood-based components.\u00a0Turnover in the construction-related sector of the wood industry rose slightly by 2.1% to around \u20ac 2.8 billion.\u00a0In the\u00a0parquet industry\u00a0, companies with more than 50 employees posted sales growth of 1.2% to around \u20ac 140 million.<\/p>\n<p>The second largest segment of the wood industry - the\u00a0wood-based panel industry\u00a0- posted a 2.5% increase in sales to around \u20ac 2.5 billion.\u00a0The\u00a0sawmill industry\u00a0recorded a significant increase in sales of 7.8% to \u20ac 2.4 billion.\u00a0In the\u00a0wood packaging\u00a0sector\u00a0, official figures show a rise by 29.9% to around \u20ac 470 million.\u00a0Although this industry is indeed doing very well, official sales figures in this segment are significantly oversubscribed by statistical re-groupings of companies at the beginning of the year, according to the HDH.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0export business of\u00a0the entire wood industry developed very positively from January to June 2018.\u00a0Foreign sales increased by 6% compared to the first half of 2017.\u00a0The industrial export quota - this is the share of sales generated by companies producing in Germany abroad - increased in the first half of 2018 to 30.2% (same period of the previous year: 29.4%).\u00a0Above all, the furniture industry with an industrial export rate of 32.6% has made a significant contribution to this positive overall result.\u00a0The export quota in the timber industry is at a low level of 26.3%.<\/p>\n<p>In the first half of 2018, the German timber industry employed a total of 154,455 men and women in 935 companies with 50 or more employees.\u00a0Compared to the same period of the previous year, the number of companies increased by 0.4%, while the number of employees increased by 2.5% - equivalent to 3,700 new jobs.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The German wood industry is growing
