During the first three quarters of 2018, the sales of German parquet fell by 5% year-on-year, reaching a value of 7.3 million m2.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The decline has weakened slightly over the course of the year, said the chairman of the Association of the German Parquet Industry, Michael Schmid, at the autumn meeting of the Association in Rosenheim.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the parquet industry has to compete with new\u00a0products, such as designer flooring, imports and rising commodity prices, especially in oak.<\/p>\n

Yet, the\u00a0Solid Parquet<\/em>\u00a0product division increased its sales by 4.7%, to 1.16 million m2. In particular, mosaic parquet went up by 7.5%, while solid wood flooring fell by 2.6%.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Multilayered Parquet<\/em>\u00a0division lost 6.0% to a sales volume of 6.09 million m2. Three-ply parquet fell sharply at -13.2%. Two-layer parquet lost 4.4% and three-ply plank flooring 3.1%, while the smallest area of \u200b\u200bdouble-layer planks increased by 8.1% to 162,401 m2.<\/p>\n

Higher commodity prices have been reflected in higher product prices, so that the turnover of the parquet branch remained almost stable with a decline of only 0.6% and after three quarters stands at 206 million euros.<\/p>\n

Schmid still sees no end to the expansion of the oak in parquet. Still heavily brushed structures and natural surfaces are in demand. These are difficult to implement with other types of wood.\u00a0While domestic production is declining, the share of merchandise is increasing. Among other things, this is due to the fact that the German manufacturers increasingly produce abroad.<\/p>\n

Schmid said that the trends towards design flooring are still uncertain, a thing which makes it difficult for the parquet sector.<\/p>\n

The German parquet manufacturers see hope on the export market, because while the German market is weakening, the other European countries seem to recover. Also, the current US tariff policy could also result in new export opportunities.<\/p>\n

\"The export is more important than ever for the German parquet manufacturers<\/em>\", explains Michael Schmid.<\/p>\n

This is most evident in China, according to Schmid, who recently accepted the invitation of the Chinese Timber Trade and Import Association and made a speech at the Chinese Global Wood Floor Conference.<\/p>\n

\"The Chinese market is increasingly asking for German products and the German market is increasingly asking for Chinese products<\/em>,\" said Schmid.<\/p>\n

Although German parquet in China is 2-3 times as expensive as that of its Chinese production, the market potential for German parquet in China is huge and may be fueled by the tariff dispute between China and the United States.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
