The wood-based materials industry (-9%) and the construction-related sector of the wood industry (-8.6%) were particularly affected. But the furniture industry (-7.4%), the sawmill industry (-6.5%) and the wood packaging industry (-5.2%) also suffered losses. The furniture industry has the largest share of industry sales with 44% or \u20ac16.4 billion, followed by the construction-related sector and the supplier industry, which together account for \u20ac17.8 billion or 48% of sales.<\/p>\n<p>\"The drop in sales is a direct result of the weak construction industry, the growing bureaucratic burden and the ongoing uncertainty among consumers,\" explains Denny Ohnesorge, HDH's managing director. The number of building permits fell drastically in 2024: in single- and two-family house construction, it fell by 19%, and in multi-family house construction, it even fell by 20%.<\/p>\n<p>Employment figures in the wood industry were not unaffected by this development. The number of companies with 50 or more employees fell by an average of 2.8% in 2024, while the total number of employees fell by 4.4%.<\/p>\n<p>In view of this development, the HDH is calling for a decisive political turnaround to revive construction activity and thus also the wood industry. \"The new federal government must make housing construction a priority. Without a decisive turnaround, the crisis in the construction industry and thus also in the wood industry will drag on until 2026 and beyond,\" warns Ohnesorge. \"We need a reduction in bureaucratic hurdles, a reliable funding policy and financial incentives for climate-friendly construction. Now we need clear decisions for a construction policy that, in particular, also secures the investments made in serial and modular construction over the last five years.\"<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The German wood industry is suffering from the construction crisis and the ongoing slump in consumption: sales fell again significantly in 2024.
