<\/span>The Board of Directors of the European Parquet Federation, FEP, met at Bauwerk Group Schweiz AG premises in St Margrethen, Switzerland, and discussed, amongst others, the parquet situation on the European markets.<\/p>\n

In general, the situation is slightly improving but coming from very low levels. Several countries are reporting the first signs of the much-needed relief delivered by the European Commission\u2019s already applicable provisional Anti-Dumping duties on imports of Multilayer Wood Flooring from China. The definitive Anti-Dumping duties in this case are expected to be formally imposed by 15 July 2025.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, impacts of the current and unpredictable \u201ctrade war\u201d are difficult to assess right now. But it is for sure not reducing uncertainties for the consumers and the producers.<\/p>\n

As usual, the results show variations from country to country. A brief per country recap is provided in the table below.<\/p>\n

Market overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Country<\/strong><\/th>\nComment<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Austria<\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
The Austrian parquet consumption rose by 3% during the first quarter 2025 compared to the same period last year, reflecting the activity in new buildings. On the other hand, the general context is now pushing for savings, and energy costs are very high. Fortunately, the European Commission\u2019s applicable provisional Anti-Dumping duties on imports of Multilayer Wood Flooring from China have started to bring the much-needed relief to the Austrian parquet industry.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Croa\u021bia<\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
On the one hand, costs are increasing for the Croatian parquet industry: salaries (+25%), energy and raw materials. On the other hand, new buildings and renovation of hotels are restarting and supporting the market but for how long?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Fran\u021ba<\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
The French parquet market declined again by 15% during the 1st quarter 2025. The main driver behind this decline is the decrease in new buildings while wood products are far from being the first choice for renovation. DIY is doing a bit better, although restarting from its very low level of last year.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Germania<\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
The first quarter 2025 was stable on the German parquet market with 0 to +5%. Consumers\u2019 interest is present: visitors at BAU, samples requests, and renovation is back in mind\u2026 But the general context could jeopardise this mood. Sports and school markets are doing well.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Italy<\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
The Italian parquet market is basically stable, maybe slightly declining during Q1-2025 compared to Q4-2024. The impacts of the European Commission\u2019s applicable provisional Anti-Dumping duties on imports of Multilayer Wood Flooring from China are starting to be visible, bringing back local manufacturers in competition with traders importing Chinese products. Inflation is still present, around 2%. The market is expected to remain relatively stable in 2025 although the effects of the \u201ctrade war\u201d are still to be assessed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Scandinavia<\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
The Norwegian market rose slightly during the fourth quarter 2024 and could slightly slowdown now as the end consumers are hesitant. New buildings are evolving relatively well, renovation increases. The situation in Sweden is still tough, five buildings (apartments) are increasing slowly but come from very low level. Finland had experienced hard times, but a flat to positive evolution from low level is now observed. Denmark is a good market with higher spendings in renovation and a lot of moving supporting refurbishment. But the peak could have been passed and the market is stabilising. Traffic in shops is dropping.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Spain<\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
The Spanish market is flat to slightly increasing.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Switzerland<\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
Swiss parquet market is stable, evolving like the building activity which is rising by 2-3%. Inflation is at 0.3% while energy costs increase very slightly by 1.5%.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
